Set just a short drive from Port Askaig, this three‑bedroom semi‑detached cottage offers a practical family home on Islay with mature front and rear gardens and partial sea views across the Sound of Jura. The ground‑floor bedroom makes the layout adaptable for mobility needs, a home office, or intergenerational living. Light‑filled lounge and dining areas centre on an open‑grate fireplace; the kitchen is fitted for freestanding appliances and opens to the rear garden.
The first floor links two further double bedrooms that enjoy far‑reaching rural and partial coastal views. Heating is by oil boiler and the property has a single family bathroom with an electric shower; services include mains water, mains electricity and shared drainage. EPC rating D (64). Gas mains are not present and broadband speeds in the area are slow, although mobile signal is excellent.
Externally the mature, shrub‑planted gardens create a private, wildlife‑friendly setting with off‑street parking nearby. The location is handy for the Port Askaig ferry and local distilleries, while Bowmore and wider island amenities are a short drive away. This cottage will suit buyers seeking a peaceful island lifestyle with ready‑to‑live‑in accommodation and scope for cosmetic updating.
Notable drawbacks are the slow broadband, oil heating (ongoing fuel cost), shared drainage, limited bathroom provision and an EPC of D. The property sits within a remoter, ageing rural community and the surrounding area is marked as very deprived, factors to weigh for those reliant on fast connectivity, public services or rental income potential.
