The former holiday home of celebrated romance author Rosamunde Pilcher has gone on sale for £995,000.

The author, who sold 60 million books worldwide, used the period property in the coastal town of Dornoch, Scotland, as an escape.

Although she was born in Cornwall, she moved to Dundee, Scotland after marrying her husband Graham, where they had two daughters and two sons.

Before her death in 2019, she made frequent trips to stay in Dornoch, which is situated in the Highlands, about 40 miles north of Inverness.

Her former holiday property has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, which have all undergone renovation to transform it into a stunning home.

With high ceilings and sumptuous interiors throughout, the home feels spacious but comfortable.

Downstairs, there is an open plan ground floor sitting room, large entrance hall, dining room, and study.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen with a large three oven electric Aga, a 1200L fridge, two dishwashers, and twin Belfast sinks.

Right beside the kitchen, there is a walk-in larder, which is perfect for keeping everything organised.

For those who get a little muddy while exploring the great outdoors, there is also a utility/boot room and a walk-in shower.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with another two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor.

The property is currently listed on Purplebricks for offers over £995,000.
