North Kessock seaside holiday let set for big facelift under plans lodged with Highland Council?
A seafront holiday let looks set to be transformed into a larger building.
Plans have been lodged to increase the size of Fisherman's Cottage at the foot of North Kessock's Old Craigton Road, by demolishing the "Old Post Office House" shieling building immediately next to it and erecting a new extension atop the footprint.
If approved the cottage, which has two bedrooms and can sleep up to four guests, will continue to boast two bedrooms. However, one of these will be relocated to inside the newly-built extension in order to increase the floor space of the sleeping areas. The new second bedroom would also be en-suite.
Applicants Alan and Hazel Bell also plan to create a new external deck running along the front of the extended property is also planned.
The lounge and other bedroom on the front of the existing Fisherman's Cottage will also be extended slightly to the south to increase their size.
And the second bedroom that is currently housed on the upper floor, will be turned into a gallery and office space, accessed via a new internal spiral staircase. New dormer windows would also be installed to further increase the space on the upper floor.
It is not known if the building would continue to be used as a holiday let following the revamp.
