Spacious eco-built home near Portree with generous private garden and parking.
R‑House design built 2014, modern finishes throughout
Applegate is a contemporary R‑House design built in 2014, offered freehold and presented in walk‑in condition. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows and an open‑plan ground floor make the most of the elevated outlook across the Trotternish Ridge and the Old Man of Storr. The home combines modern finishes — Karndean flooring, Nordan double glazing and electric central heating — with a wood burning stove for character and warmth.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a ground‑floor primary bedroom and Jack & Jill bathroom, plus two double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. A practical utility with side access and a powered garden shed add useful storage and laundry options; the shed currently houses a tumble dryer. The house sits on a large, fully enclosed garden plot (circa 0.25 acres) with a gravel driveway providing off‑street parking.
Buyers should note material location and services facts: the property lies in a remoter community with very slow broadband speeds and only average mobile signal, and the wider area is classified as very deprived. Council tax is above average. These factors may affect remote working, streaming and some service access despite the home’s strong on‑site features.
This will suit buyers seeking a modern, low‑maintenance family home or a peaceful Highland retreat close to Portree. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, internal light and the extensive garden grounds; the property is sold fully furnished apart from personal items.
