DESCRIPTION
This attractive detached converted stone byre was completely renovated some 8 years ago to a high standard and now offers comfortable and spacious accommodation. The subject is situated in a quiet and private setting enjoying north easterly views across to the hills of the Trotternish Ridge. There are widespread views across the surrounding countryside and northwards across to the Minch and the hills of the Outer Hebrides which can be seen in the distance. ‘The Byre’ has been tastefully fitted out and benefits from timber traditional style 4 pane double glazed windows, timber double glazed doors and electric off-peak central heating. The well proportioned accommodation comprises:- ground floor – entrance vestibule, open plan sitting/dining room with multi-fuel burning stove, bathroom and kitchen. Stairs lead off to the upper floor ‘Mezzanine’ landing which provides access off to 4 bedrooms and a shower room. The subject has been running successfully as a holiday letting cottage for some 7 years and can therefore be offered for sale fully furnished and ‘ready to go’ if so required. The garden area extends upwards to the rear and is mainly under grass. There is also a spacious gravel turning and parking area to the front.
