Location Map
DESCRIPTION
Set back from the road and commanding uninterrupted views across Staffin Bay and beyond the subjects for sale comprise of a detached 1 ½ storey house with rear extension. This house at one time was undoubtedly a superior home but it has been unoccupied for some 20 years and now requires complete refurbishment. Some attractive features remain such as the large 4 panel doors and solid wooden staircase. The accommodation within comprises entrance hall, bathroom, 2 public rooms and
a rear kitchen on the ground floor. The upper floor has two good size bedrooms and a box room. A garden
area surrounding the house extends to a ¼ acre or thereby and this would provide adequate space for off road parking.
LOCATION
Digg is a pretty crofting community forming part of the bigger village known as Staffin. Staffin is located on the north eastern side of the Trotternish Peninsular and is a thriving community with good local facilities including a couple of grocer’s shops, a community centre with café and a primary school. Portree the Island’s capital is just 16 miles to the south and here you will find all the services you would expect of a growing town. Staffin has its own slipway and beach and the Quiraing mountain range forms a dramatic backdrop to the village.
