Summary - GARTNATRA COTTAGE, ISLE OF ISLAY, GARTNATRA PA43 7LN
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Large garden, parking and major refurbishment potential near Bowmore.
Coastal and beach views from the garden and some rooms
Gartnatra Cottage is a traditional two-bedroom stone cottage on Islay with panoramic coastal and beach views. Set in a large rectangular garden and just over a mile from Bowmore, the property offers rare scope to create a bespoke island home or holiday let. The current layout includes a kitchen/diner with feature fireplace, a generous living room with open hearth, a ground-floor bathroom and two double bedrooms upstairs.
The house requires full refurbishment throughout: windows, internal finishes and services will need attention, and the building presents typical older-cottage features such as low ceilings and relatively small room proportions. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is only average. Tenure is not specified and any extension or development would be subject to planning consent.
Strengths are clear: strong coastal outlook, large garden with room for landscaping or possible expansion (subject to consent), private off-street parking, and proximity to Bowmore’s amenities and distilleries. Note the property sits in a very deprived area and will suit buyers prepared for a hands-on renovation or investors looking to add value in a scenic location.
This is a practical opportunity for someone seeking a characterful renovation project on Islay — whether to create a family retreat, holiday home, or rental — but buyers should budget for comprehensive works and check tenure and planning options before committing.
