There’s even a gorgeous beach nearby which is perfect for a spot of dolphin, whale and seal spotting.
All of the bedrooms are a decent size and there is a cosy lounge.
As well as the kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom, there is a coal cellar, courtyard and garage.
Plus all the carpets, blinds and curtains are included in the sale price.
But the one drawback is that it is very remote, located next to an old lighthouse and the nearest neighbours are two miles away.
The Principal Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage, is located at Strathy Point, Strathy, Thurso, one of the most northerly points of Scotland.
It is being sold by Harper Macleod estate agents and advertised on Rightmove.
The listing reads: “The Principal Lighthouse Keeper’s House is a superb, four-bedroom home with spacious accommodation.
