IT’S probably fair to say it’s a little bit more than a fixer-upper - but this Easter Ross property still comes with a £140,000 price tag attached.
Ardmore, on Invergordon’s Seabank Road, is described as “a generous bungalow which is in need of a full renovation and once completed would represent a very generous family home”.
Encouraging potential buyers to see beyond the defects, the Macleod and McCallum report states: “If you are looking for a project on which to put your own stamp, this may be the property for you.

“In its current condition there are some floor boards which are missing and ceilings have fallen down, therefore only by viewing can you fully appreciate the potential this property has to offer.”
As the property is currently uninhabitable, there is no home report available.
The three-bedroom detached property includes a study and conservatory as well as a summerhouse, garden shed and wraparound garden “currently somewhat overgrown”.
The bungalow is marketed as being close to the town centre of Invergordon with regular bus and train connections to Inverness.
The town offers an excellent range of facilities including a Post Office, leisure centre, supermarket, hotels, restaurants, cafes, a rugby club, football club and 18-hole golf course.
The property enjoys a large elevated plot on the outskirts of Invergordon which takes full advantage of the views towards the Cromarty Firth and is within walking distance of the town facilities and easy commuting distance of Inverness and the Airport.
The listing has inevitably attracted comment on social media with one asking: ‘How on earth is that worth £140,000?’ and another observing that as a tear down and rebuild, it would at least have services in place to connect to ‘obviously not a fixer-upper’.
Another though suggested: ‘A couple of rugs and it will be fine!’
Invergordon though is tipped for steady growth thanks in part to the impact of the Cromarty Firth freeport which has been touted as a massive potential creator of new jobs.
Earlier this month, Highland Council gave the go-ahead for a 66-home new-build development in Invergordon - the first major scheme green-lighted since the granting of freeport status.
