A Scottish home linked to a wartime government has been brought to the market for sale.
The property is described as “truly at one with its beautiful surroundings, with a fascinating past”.
Strutt and Parker said the Harbour House in Findhorn is an “attractive, beautifully appointed stone-built home offering 1755 square feet of charming, characterful accommodation”.
The agent said: “Originally built circa 1901, the current owners have carried out a meticulous, sympathetic refurbishment of the property, retaining all of its charm and period features.
“During the 1950s, Harbour House, then called Seaview, was the summer holiday home of Viscount James and Lady Rachel Stuart of Findhorn.”
The agent continued: “The bright entrance hall with its fitted store cupboard opens via double doors into an airy hallway with ceiling roses and picture rails, which branches off onto the flexible accommodation.
“The impressive 25 ft multiaspect sitting/dining room provides an ideal entertaining space offering two original feature fireplaces, one with an ornate carved surround, striking cast iron radiators that run throughout the home, and far-reaching views, along with wide wooden floorboards, high ceilings and inset shelving.
“The spacious kitchen also has a unique feature fireplace and enjoys French doors flowing directly onto the south-facing sun terrace.”

The agent also said: “The picturesque coastal town of Findhorn offers ample opportunities for walking, sea and bay angling and the Royal Findhorn Yacht Club and nearby marina offer a base for sailing and canoeing.
“Findhorn Beach is famous for its vast sands and sandbanks, home to a large colony of seals, and ospreys dive for fish in the bay in spring and summer. There are a range of local amenities, including shops, two public houses and various eateries, with the ecovillage at The Park providing further independent shops and restaurants, along with the Moray Arts Centre and the Universal Hall Performance Centre.”
The freehold for Harbour House is offered at offers over £620,000.
