Burnside Cottage is a traditional, extended three-bedroom cottage set on an elevated 0.68-acre plot on the edge of Sconser, with wide views over the Sound of Raasay. The house offers a ground-floor double bedroom with en-suite, a cosy lounge with open fire and back boiler, separate dining kitchen, utility and two large first-floor double bedrooms. Its character and outlook will suit buyers seeking a scenic, rural family home.
Practical features include double glazing, electric central heating and a private water supply with required UV filters already installed. The large gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking and the grounds are mostly lawn with a timber store. The property has been cared for by the current owners but the garden requires routine maintenance and the plot could suit further landscaping or small-scale development subject to consents.
Considerations for buyers: broadband speeds in the area are very slow and heating is electric, which may increase running costs compared with mains gas. The property sits in a very remote, very deprived area with limited local services; however mobile signal is excellent. Prospective purchasers should review the title to confirm the exact plot size and check any upkeep requirements for the private water supply.
Burnside Cottage will appeal to families or buyers seeking a quiet coastal lifestyle on Skye — those who value privacy, generous outdoor space and dramatic views over immediate proximity to urban conveniences. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the elevated setting and flexible accommodation layout.
