We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
We welcome to the market this spacious traditional property which offers a deceptive amount of accommodation over two levels.
The property would benefit from a upgrading throughout but offers an excellent space to create a generous sized family home.
The accommodation comprises entrance vestibule, kitchen diner, kitchen/utility room, rear entrance, wc, lounge, hallway, front entrance vestibule, three double bedrooms, shower room, upstairs landing with fitted storage and an attic room which can be used as an additional bedroom.
The property is heated by oil fired central heating and benefits from double glazed windows and doors throughout. Additional heat is offered from the open fire in the kitchen diner and lounge.
The property has recently been decrofted with garden arranged to the front, sides and rear. There is a small outbuilding to the rear which can be used for additional storage.
Gardens are laid to grass with a wall forming the boundary. There is room for parking in the siding beside the property.
Barvas Is located approximately 11 miles from Stornoway and all the amenities it provides, however the village does benefit from a number of local amenities including a well stocked village shop with petrol pumps, Post Office and a beauty salon.
The Barvas Machair which is within walking distance stretches the length of the village provides an area for outdoor walks and dog walking. It is also very popular with surfers.
The selling agents would strongly recommend prompt internal inspection to fully appreciate the spacious accommodation on offer and to avoid disappointment.
