Royal Dornoch apartments are well above par

The Highlands are known for their natural beauty, drawing thousands of visitors from across the globe every year.

Whether people have been coming for the cracking castles, luscious lochs or magnificent mountains, the region has always been a hotspot for tourists.

Among the most recent big attractions has been scenic driving route, the North Coast 500.

The 516-mile drive officially starts and ends in Inverness, and takes in some of the most stunning scenery on the planet, including Dornoch, home to the world-famous golf club.

Here, overlooking the historic course, is where you’ll find upmarket apartments built by Kirkwood Homes.

Data has shown a rise in house prices in the area since the opening of the NC500, and has added at least £9 million to the local economy since its launch four years ago.

There’s also been an increase in interest in property along the popular route, which means Kirkwood’s Royal Dornoch apartments are ideal for those looking to invest in a permanent or holiday home.

Sales at the development have been very successful, and from 24 properties on offer, there’s now only three apartments remaining.

There’s one ground floor Taylor apartment which has an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area – perfect for spending time with your friends or family; a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom, bathroom and ample storage space.

It’s on the market at £292,995.

In addition there are two, Steel-type apartments – one on the ground floor, the other on the first floor, both offering open plan living, dining and kitchen space, en-suite master bedrooms, second bedrooms and bathroom.

The ground-floor Steel is on the market at £292,995 and the first floor option, £295,995.

There is not a show flat available at the development which is just 200 yards from the first tee of the famous course, but appointments can be made to see the remaining apartments from 11am5pm, Thursday to Monday.
