This recently renovated terrace of cottages was originally built as a block of three farm cart sheds and stables with overhead hay lofts circa 1790. After the construction of the Tarrel Farm Steadings in 1850 the cart sheds were converted to a terrace of five one and a half storey workers cottages. During World War II the cottages were altered by the MOD with the addition of typical war time porches and extensions. The cottages are now category B listed buildings and have been renovated and extended in line with listed building consent and all other necessary local authority consents to provide spacious modern accommodation.

The description of the accommodation which follows is based on Cottage No 6, but the basic design, finish and layout is common to all three. The cottages are located about 1.5 miles from the village of Portmahomack and Tain is approximately 8 miles away. They are accessed via a private drive, from the B9165 and are superbly located, enjoying panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

Portmahomack is a picturesque coastal village on the Tarbat peninsula approx. 9 miles from Tain. Primary education is available at the village school, which also has a pre-school nursery. There is a shop and Post Office, 2 hotels and a testing nine-hole golf course. Sea-angling, recreational sailing and shooting are available locally. Secondary schooling and train connections to the North and South are available at Tain and Inverness is about 45 minutes by car.

Gravelled parking area to the front and garden area to the rear.
Nos. 4 and 6 have gardens to the side.
