This traditional three-bedroom cottage, nestled within approximately 14 acres of prime croft land on the Isle of Islay, presents a significant renovation opportunity for visionary buyers. The stone-built residence, topped with a slate roof, is accessed via a private track that leads to a designated parking area. Its interior layout features essential spaces including a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and two ground-floor bedrooms, alongside an upper floor housing an additional bedroom. Notably, the attic offers potential for conversion into further accommodation, pending necessary planning permissions.
While the property currently requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout, this effort could transform it into a charming family home in an enviable coastal setting. The extensive grounds offer possibilities for agricultural use or even division to facilitate another dwelling, with reasonable expectations for planning approval for such ventures in this desirable area. The cottage is bounded by natural beauty—fenced along all edges with a burn marking its perimeter—enhancing both privacy and charm.
Located on Islay's rugged west coast and convenient to the local amenities of Port Ellen and Bowmore, including shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities—this location balances tranquility with accessibility. With mains water and electricity available along with oil-fired heating systems already in place, the groundwork is there to begin transforming this property into your vision of an ideal island retreat.
