DESCRIPTION
Stunningly located on an elevated hillside location from which there are truly panoramic views across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides, this traditional stone built cottage has to be viewed to be fully appreciated. The present owners have improved and maintained the subjects making them extremely homely and comfortable whilst still retaining the charm of a highland crofter’s cottage. Benefiting from oil central heating, plus electric panel heaters and UPVC double glazing the accommodation within comprises entrance vestibule, hallway, sitting room with bedroom off, kitchen/dining room, rear hall, bathroom and bedroom with dressing area. A generous garden surrounds the cottage and protects the views and privacy whilst also providing enough space to extend if so required and subject to the usual permissions being granted. In recent years the cottage has been used as a much loved holiday home and attractive features include the revealed stone walls, cosy multi-fuel stove in the sitting room, bespoke window shutters and simple, tasteful internal decoration. To the rear is a solid shed providing good storage and an access road leads up to generous parking space beside the house.
