Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Kilmore on the Sleat peninsula, this historic property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Known for its milder climate and diverse landscape, the area is an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts, with scenic coastal trails and abundant wildlife including otters, golden eagles, and dolphins. Nearby Armadale provides essential amenities and a ferry link to Mallaig on the mainland, while Broadford is just a short drive away, offering a wider selection of shops and services.
The Old Manse, formerly the manse for Sleat Parish Church, was designed by distinguished Scottish architect James Gillespie Graham in the early 19th century. This category B-listed building showcases Tudor Gothic architecture, featuring distinctive crenellations, gothic-style glazing, and a charming circular turret that once housed the staircase. Although it has been in the same family since 1980 and retains much of its original character, it is currently in need of modernization.
Importantly, the property has been fitted with double glazing and an oil-fired central heating system. After experiencing some recent issues with water ingress, a comprehensive damp and timber report has been conducted. The report outlines recommended repairs along with associated quotes for treatment work—available upon request as part of the Home Report. While no longer furnished, this residence holds significant potential for those looking to restore it to its former glory.
The combination of historical charm, desirable location, and scope for enhancements make The Old Manse an intriguing prospect for both residential living or investment opportunities.
