Location Map
DESCRIPTION
This very spacious detached bungalow was completed circa. 1980 and occupies a generous area of garden ground extending to ½ an acre or thereby. The spaciousness of the house and its convenient roadside location make it an excellent home from which to operate a ‘bed & breakfast’ business, especially as it is on the main ferry route with lots of passing trade. The house benefits from an oil fired central heating system and Upvc double glazed doors and windows. Both internally and externally the house appears to be in good order although it would benefit from some modernization. The accommodation within comprises entrance vestibule, hallway, kitchen, utility room, shower room, lounge/dining room, bathroom and 5 bedrooms (one en-suite). The double integral garage is presently being used as a workshop but also provides and opportunity to extend the house if so required. There is a very secluded garden to the rear and large off road parking area to the front. A most attractive feature of the property is the natural burn that borders the house to one side and to the rear.
