DESCRIPTION
Located in a truly stunning setting from which there are panoramic sea views across Loch Pooltiel, to Dunvegan Head and across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides, the subjects for sale comprise of a charming stone 1 ½ storey croft house, a small detached stone self-catering cottage and a working croft extending to some 12 acres or thereby. At one time the land also had outline planning permission for the erection of a house but this has now lapsed but could be refreshed if so required. The main house has been very nicely upgraded and refurbished over the years and yet manages to retain some really nice features including the v-lined walls and revealed stone walls. Benefiting from Upvc double glazed windows the accommodation within comprises entrance porch, sitting room and recently fitted dining kitchen with appliances including a large larder fridge. The upper floor has a landing area with access off to 2 generous double size bedrooms and a bathroom. Situated to the side of the main house and completely detached from it is a very appealing self-contained stone cottage, once the old byre, which has been totally rebuilt to provide new accommodation comprising open plan kitchen/living area with en-suite double bedroom off. This building has new Upvc double glazed windows and offers the same stunning sea views as the main house has. The land lying to the front of the subjects slopes gradually down towards the shoreline of the Loch. Much of the land has been well developed and provides very productive vegetable and fruit growing areas with much use of natural stone to form attractive low boundary walls. The present owners have also used the land for animal produce and goats, pigs, hens and sheep have all been grazed and bred on the land - see www.skyecrofttours.co.uk . To the rear of the house is an agricultural gate allowing access on to the hill grazings. Included in the sale are shares in the Glendale Estate.
