Detached HouseDescription
Ken Macdonald & Co presents a three-bedroom detached house in North Tolsta, set on a croft tenancy of approximately 10.29 acres extending to the shoreline. The property is described as requiring comprehensive renovation and modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to rework the house to suit their requirements. The sale is subject to Crofting Commission approval.
The elevated position is described as having distant views across the Tolsta coastline. Traigh Mhor and Garry Beach are nearby, while a shop and post office are around one mile away. A regular bus route serves the area, and Stornoway town centre is approximately 13 miles away. The house is adjacent to the Free Church of Scotland in the village.

Confidence: LOW
This detached three-bedroom house has a distinctive coastal setting, with the listing describing a croft tenancy extending to the shoreline and distant sea views. The visible kitchen and living room offer clear scope for a substantial transformation, while the marked carpet, dated finishes and unfinished ceiling edges point to work beyond a simple cosmetic refresh. The frontage and pitched slate roof look intact in the available exterior view, though the wider condition needs checking. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional. The £120,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf values because the floor area is missing; that gap, alongside the heavy project scope, helps explain the low overall E rating.
Key opportunities
- Transform the dated kitchen and living space into a more contemporary home, with scope to renew finishes and flooring to suit your own plans.
- Make the most of the detached house’s elevated coastal setting and the described croft tenancy extending approximately 10.29 acres down to the shoreline.
- Improve the immediate frontage by addressing the worn paving and loose materials.
Key risks
- The visible dated finishes, marked flooring and unfinished ceiling-edge sections sit within a full renovation programme; plan for a substantial interior rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The £/sqf comparison cannot be assessed until the floor area is confirmed.
