About
This traditional one and a half storey house, dating back to around 1850, presents an exciting opportunity to create a unique home in the beautiful coastal community of Polbain near Achiltibuie.
With its characterful mix of pine finishes and exposed stone walls, the property offers charm throughout while leaving plenty of scope for modernisation. The accommodation is arranged over two floors.
On the ground level, an entrance hall leads through to an inner hall, a spacious living room with an open fire, kitchen, study, shower room and a bright conservatory which makes the most of the setting.
Upstairs, the landing connects to a bedroom with its own WC and dressing room, a further bedroom and a bathroom.
Heating is provided via an oil-fired Rayburn central heating system, supplying radiators throughout the property.
While the property would benefit from upgrading, its traditional layout and period features provide an excellent canvas for transformation.
Whether as a permanent home, a Highland retreat, or a holiday let, it offers huge potential for buyers keen to put their own stamp on a property.
The wider area is renowned for its dramatic scenery, with the Summer Isles just offshore and iconic mountains such as Stac Pollaidh and Suilven only a short drive away.
Known for its wildlife, coastal walks and outdoor pursuits, this part of the northwest coast provides an exceptional Highland lifestyle in one of the most scenic and sought-after settings in Scotland.
