This charming one-and-a-half-storey home, believed to have been constructed around 1850, is poised for transformation in the picturesque coastal village of Polbain, close to Achiltibuie. Retaining many original features such as pine finishes and exposed stone walls, this property offers a unique character that can be further enhanced through renovation.
The layout comprises two levels of living space. On the ground floor, you are welcomed by an entrance hall that leads to an inner hall, a generously sized living room complete with an open fire – perfect for cozy evenings – a kitchen area, and a versatile study. A bright conservatory allows for abundant natural light while providing a wonderful vantage point to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Additionally, there is a shower room on this level that adds practicality.
Upstairs, the landing connects two bedrooms; one features its own WC and dressing room, while both rooms share access to the bathroom. The property is heated through an oil-fired Rayburn central heating system with radiators distributed throughout, although modernization could enhance efficiency and comfort.
While some updates are needed, the traditional structure and historic charm present an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to personalize their space. This property is well-suited as either a permanent residence or as an investment opportunity for those interested in developing a Highland retreat or holiday rental.
The surrounding area is celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes, including the nearby Summer Isles and stunning mountains like Stac Pollaidh and Suilven. With abundant wildlife and outdoor activities such as coastal walks readily accessible, this region offers an exceptional quality of life in one of Scotland’s most desirable locations.
Electricity is supplied by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, with water and sewerage provided by Scottish Water. While there may be limited mobile coverage options available (3G, 4G), this aspect can also be seen as a chance to embrace rural living away from urban distractions.
This property invites creative vision and is waiting for someone ready to make it their own amidst the serene beauty of the northwest coast.
