Description

This detached three-bedroom house in Lionel has a flexible layout, with a lounge, a separate dining room and an additional hallway that could serve as a study or sunroom. The kitchen has been stripped back, with the sink and work surface remaining, so a new owner can plan and install a replacement to suit their needs. The dining room adjoins the kitchen and may offer scope to expand that area, subject to any required consents. The ground floor also includes a side entrance and utility space. Bedroom one is on the lower level, while two further double bedrooms with fitted storage are upstairs. A shower room is positioned on the half-landing. Heating is by an oil-fired central heating system, supplemented by a multi-fuel stove in the lounge, and the listing states that the windows and external doors are double glazed. Outside, there is a sloping rear garden with a drying area, smaller lawn areas to the front and side, a garden shed and a block-paved parking area with space for two vehicles. Lionel has local shops and services, a primary school and leisure facilities; Port of Ness Harbour and Eoropie Beach are nearby, while Stornoway is approximately 26 miles away. The property offers scope for a kitchen refit and further adaptation of its existing spaces.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £135,000, this detached three-bedroom house is priced at about £110/sqf, well below the local average of £145/sqf—a clear acquisition advantage for a buyer looking to add value. The main project is a medium-scale kitchen refit: most units have been removed, leaving a blank canvas, and the dining room may offer scope to extend the kitchen area, subject to any necessary consents.

There is plenty to work with beyond the kitchen: the lounge and photographed bedrooms are tidy and usable, the shower room appears serviceable, and the visible exterior and roof look generally intact. Parking for two cars and a substantial, established rear garden add appeal, though its slope and stepped access may affect how it is used.

Key opportunities

  • Fit a new kitchen to suit your needs, with the dining room offering potential to create a more generous kitchen area subject to consents.
  • Refresh dated finishes while retaining the tidy, usable photographed living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Make use of the detached house’s parking for two vehicles and substantial rear garden.
