This two-bedroom cottage is situated in the serene coastal hamlet of Bualnaluib, Aultbea, offering stunning views of croft land that extend to the sea. The property includes approximately 0.5 acres of adjacent land, providing ample space for potential development or recreational use.
The cottage retains its traditional charm with wood panelling throughout and is primarily double-glazed for added insulation. Entry is via a UPVC door leading into an entrance hall with an understairs storage cupboard. To the left, the dining room features a front-facing window that captures open views and is anchored by an inset wood-burning stove set on a slate hearth. A door from this room leads to a rear porch, while an opening connects it to the kitchen, which includes a stainless-steel sink and shelving above.
On the right side of the hall is a sitting room that also offers front-facing windows showcasing views over the surrounding landscape toward the sea and mountains. Ascending from the hallway, stairs lead to two double bedrooms, both enjoying similar scenic views. The upper level also contains a family bathroom equipped with a three-piece suite featuring a WC, wash hand basin, and bath with electric shower.
Externally, there is parking available at the front of the property alongside access to an adjacent field that extends around half an acre and is securely fenced. The front garden is defined by a stone dyke and features mature trees; additionally, there is a small rear garden. Outbuildings include a stone bothan and byre, which provide excellent storage options but also hold potential for renovation or conversion (subject to appropriate planning permissions).
Bualnaluib’s location near Aultbea makes it particularly appealing; this small village offers amenities such as a general store, churches, and a hotel. The area’s rich history includes connections to WWII naval convoys traveling through Loch Ewe. For more extensive services, Ullapool is nearby while Inverness serves as the regional hub with its array of shopping centers and transportation facilities including a mainline railway station and airport.
The West Coast’s striking scenery ensures numerous outdoor activities are readily accessible. Local attractions such as Inverewe Gardens benefit from the Gulf Stream's influence on plant growth, adding further appeal to this investment opportunity. With significant renovation potential combined with its picturesque locale, this property could be transformed into either a cozy retreat or lucrative rental venture in one of Scotland’s most beautiful regions.
Mains water and drainage are connected to the property as well.
