Gartnatra Cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a serene coastal setting with captivating beach views. This traditional Islay cottage is ripe for a full refurbishment, allowing the new owner to infuse their vision into the space and transform it into a delightful island retreat or a lucrative holiday rental.
The interior currently features a spacious kitchen and dining area, complete with a charming fireplace that can be restored as a focal point. The generous living room also benefits from an open fireplace, creating potential for cozy gatherings. A ground-floor bathroom is equipped with a shower over the bath, while a practical utility room offers convenient access to the rear of the property. Upstairs, two sizable double bedrooms provide excellent proportions and ample scope for modernization, making it easy to reimagine these spaces.
Set in a tranquil rural environment, Gartnatra Cottage is surrounded by picturesque countryside and is just moments away from Islay’s stunning beaches and rich wildlife. The property sits on a generous plot, presenting plenty of outdoor space for landscaping or seating areas, as well as potential for future development (subject to appropriate consents). The expansive garden offers sweeping views of the coastline and sandy bay beyond, enhancing its appeal.
Located approximately one mile from Bowmore, Islay's main town, residents will enjoy proximity to local amenities including shops, restaurants, and the famed Bowmore Distillery. With its traditional charm combined with significant renovation potential, Gartnatra Cottage stands out as an exceptional opportunity to create a tailored home in one of Islay’s most sought-after locales.
