Gramayre Cottage is an immaculately presented 1.5‑storey stone cottage in elevated Peinchorran, with sweeping, unrestricted views across the Inner Sound to Raasay and the mainland. The property is in excellent order throughout, occupies generous well‑maintained garden grounds, and extends to around 77 m² with two bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen/dining and shower/bathroom. It has a track record as a successful holiday let and retains an STL licence, offering immediate short‑term rental potential.
Practical positives include uPVC double glazing, electric storage and panel heating, mains electricity and water, and an attached corrugated shed plus a small timber shed. Full planning permission was granted on 10 March 2025 (Highland Council REF 24/04789/FUL) for the formation of a parking space, valid for three years — a material enhancement in a location where roadside parking is currently limited.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks alongside the strengths: the EPC rating is very low (G, 17), broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. Drainage is to a septic tank and the property is in a remoter, very deprived area, which may limit year‑round rental demand and resale comparables. Council tax is currently commercially rated. Overall, this cottage suits buyers seeking a scenic holiday income property or a character rural home, willing to accept/upgrade energy performance and connectivity to maximise future return.
