Description

This expansive detached residence offers a unique opportunity for renovation, nestled in a breathtaking lochside location on the Isle of Skye. The property, known as Kensaleyre House, boasts over 4,000 square feet of well-distributed living space with charming features such as exposed timber beams and sash windows. Its ground floor hosts three reception rooms that are well-presented and a store room that presents potential for conversion into an additional spacious reception area. The dual aspect sitting room, complete with a woodburning stove, along with an elegantly appointed dining room and a bright drawing room make this space particularly inviting. An equipped kitchen holds wooden fitted units and includes a central island and range cooker. A utility room further enhances the functionality of this level. The first floor houses five bedrooms, including one currently utilized as an office space; four bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms for added convenience. The second floor completes the accommodation with two more bedrooms, each having its own en suite shower rooms, plus access to two large attic storage areas. Set back from the road and elevated for exceptional loch views, the exterior of the property features gardens with lawns shaded by mature trees, alongside gravel terraces ideal for outdoor dining. Additional benefits include a detached double garage and ample parking. Located in the picturesque township of Kensaleyre on Loch Snizort Beag's shore within the Trotternish peninsula, residents can enjoy open vistas of the Highland landscape. Nearby Uig, just five miles away, offers essential amenities along with ferry access to the Outer Hebrides. Portree is approximately six miles distant providing further facilities. With Skye’s renowned natural beauty surrounding you—home to trails like those found at the Cuillin Hills and Old Man of Storr—this property not only represents a home but also an investment in lifestyle amidst one of Scotland's most stunning environments.
