Minch View is a traditional 1¾‑storey former croft house set in an elevated spot on the Trotternish peninsula with sweeping views across croft land and across the Minch. The property’s period details—cast‑iron fireplaces, wooden floorboards and high ceilings—give immediate character, while the workshop offers scope to create additional living space subject to consents.
The house offers two double bedrooms on the first floor (plus a box room) and flexible ground‑floor accommodation with a living room that could be repurposed. The mature garden (about 0.1 acre) and single off‑street parking space suit buyers who value outdoor space and privacy in a rural seaside setting.
The property requires a clear programme of modernisation and upgrading: the Home Report energy rating is G, services discharge to a septic tank, and interior fixtures are basic. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. The location is remote — local amenities are limited in nearby Staffin and Uig, with full services in Portree — so factor travel distances when considering schooling or regular shopping.
This is a good opportunity for someone seeking a characterful Skye croft house with sea views and renovation potential. The listing is offered as Offers Over £185,000 and is described as £20,000 below valuation, reflecting the scope to add value through refurbishment and sympathetic updating.
