A SUBSTANTIAL FIVE BEDROOM PROPERTY WITH UNITERUPTED VIEWS OVER LOCH CAIRIDH TOWARDS THE ISLE OF SCALPAY WITH THE ISLE OF RAASAY TO THE NORTH AND MAINLAND TO THE SOUTH. THE PROPERTY BUILT SOME 4 YEARS AGO WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL FAMILY HOME AND OFFERS THE POTENTIAL FOR BED & BREAKFAST.
ACCOMMODATION:
GROUND FLOOR: PORCH, HALLWAY, LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, UTILITY ROOM, THREE BEDROOMS AND FAMILY BATHROOM.
FIRST FLOOR: LANDING & TWO EN-SUITE BEDROOMS.
Scalpay View is a modern five bedroom property located in the crofting township of Ard Dorch some 7 miles north of Broadford. Sitting below the A87 the property benefits from an uninterrupted view across Loch Cairidh towards the small island of Scalpay with views towards the Isle of Rassay to the north and stunning views across to the mainland to the south.
Built some 4 years ago, Scalpay View has all the modern facilities you would expect including full UPVC double glazing and oil central heating. Having the ideal location to take advantage of the Bed & Breakfast trade, the property was designed with this in mind – the main family accommodation being on the ground floor, accessed from the two internal hallways, and the two first floor en-suite bedrooms being accessed from the main entrance hallway.
With the exception of the bathroom and bedroom 2 all rooms have sea views.
The current owners have run the property as a successful Bed & Breakfast establishment in the past although not currently trading.
LOCATION
Ard Dorch is a small crofting township located some 7 miles north of Broadford spanning the A87 which runs from the Skye Bridge (some 15 miles to the south) to the port of Uig – the gateway port to the outer isles.
Broadford has all the modern facilities you would expect from a busy ‘town’ including a supermarket, petrol station, primary school, medical centre, hospital, bank, chemist, library, post office, gift shops, galleries, restaurants and hotels.
Secondary education is provided in Portree, the island’s capital, some 20 miles to the north, together with all the facilities you would expect of a modern town (although known as ‘the village’) including supermarkets, shops, banks, cottage hospital, swimming pool and library.
With its loch views, Scalpay View is the ideal place to catch sight of a seal or even the occasional dolphin. If you are particularly lucky you may even catch a glimpse of the resident Sea Eagles and Golden Eagles!
