We are informed the house was built in 1890 and had a significant extension added in 2007. Planning permission was granted in April 2023 to convert the garage to a one bedroom stand-alone annexe under Planning Ref: 23/00327/D0M4. There has also previously been planning permission granted for twelve holiday units (in 2012) and for the formation of a hardstanding for touring caravans and the erection of a toilet and shower block for the campsite (in 2021) although these have both now lapsed.

The current owners run a private members only campsite through the Caravan and Motorhome Club and there is believed to be scope to change this to a license through the Highland Council which would open up the campsite to commercial as well as leisure customers.

The current owners also generate additional income by renting the annexe as a short term let, and they would be willing to include furniture and furnishings, by negotiation.

The Old School House is set in a beautiful location backing on to open farmland and despite being in an extremely rural area it is only a few minutes' drive from five supermarkets, three petrol stations and a bank. At the time of writing, Tesco, Morrisons and Asda all provide home deliveries for groceries to the property. There are numerous options for primary schooling with schools in Tain, Milton and Hilton all within  a short driving distance. Tain also has a secondary school, and further education is offered at Alness Campus and Inverness Campus of Highland College and University. Train stations are at Tain and Fearn and there is a local bus service. The property is within walking distance of a pub and local recreational activities are numerous including various golf courses, stalking, hill walking, shooting and fishing. Sandy beaches at Shandwick and Nigg are a short drive away and the property is also on the increasingly popular North Coast 500 Route.
