DESCRIPTION
The subjects for sale are set in a stunning location enjoying glorious panoramic views over Loch Snizort and southwards across to the Cuillin mountain range. This superior property was a former traditional stone croft house which has been thoughtfully and tastefully extended over the years to provide superior accommodation. Internally the house provides a spaciousness difficult to find in traditional properties together with an extremely high standard of decoration. Although spacious the house retains a very cosy cottage feel to it and the revealed stone walls in the lounge and dining room enhance the character of the property.
5 Kingsburgh benefits from an electric central heating system and the windows are a mixture of timber double glazed, timber single glazed and UPVC double glazed. There is a generous supply of windows throughout the house and this allows for bright airy rooms and the opportunity to admire the wonderful outlook.
