This detached 1½-storey cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the picturesque hamlet of Letters. Perched in an elevated position, the property offers stunning views overlooking Lochbroom, complemented by the scenic backdrop of Beinn Dearg and the surrounding hills. Located approximately 10 miles from Ullapool, a charming fishing village known for its community amenities, this cottage is also within reasonable commuting distance to Dingwall and Inverness.
The home features three bedrooms and retains many traditional elements that could be restored or enhanced to create a distinctive living space. Originally constructed with stone and topped with a corrugated iron roof, the property has seen some modern touches with an added kitchen and bedroom extension. However, it is in need of significant renovation to unlock its full potential.
The expansive grounds span roughly one acre and include several outbuildings, providing ample scope for development. With the necessary planning consent already secured to connect to these outbuildings, there’s considerable potential to design a space that maximizes those breathtaking views.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the area around Letters boasts numerous recreational options, including proximity to Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve—perfect for hiking and climbing. Essential services for primary and secondary education are available in Ullapool, along with local shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants. This property not only offers a chance to create a beautiful family home but also holds promise as an attractive holiday rental once renovated.
This cottage presents a blank canvas for those with vision; with care and creativity, it can be transformed into something truly special amidst Scotland's natural beauty.
