Summary - 35, ACHNASHEEN, MELLON CHARLES, AULTBEA IV22 2JL
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Sunny garden, outbuildings and beach access for relaxed rural living.
2 double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
A charming two-bedroom detached cottage set in the crofting community of Mellon Charles, close to a sandy beach and dramatic loch and mountain scenery. The living room centres on a wood-burning stove beneath exposed beams, creating a warm, characterful main space for everyday life. The house occupies about 505 sq ft, suited to a couple or small family, second home, or retirement base.
Outside is a generous, well-fenced garden with perennial borders, fruit trees, a wildlife pond and a vegetable plot — excellent for gardeners and those seeking privacy. Two useful outbuildings include a summerhouse/office with its own wood burner and a second workshop/storage structure, offering flexible space for hobbies or working from home. Gated parking provides secure vehicle access.
Practicalities reflect the remote coastal location: broadband and mobile signals are average to limited, water is from a private shared supply, and the wider area is classified as very deprived with limited local services. The cottage is small and traditional in layout, so buyers should accept compact living and expect some maintenance or modest updating where preferred.
Overall, 35 Mellon Charles will suit someone prioritising peace, outdoor space and scenic Highland living over urban convenience — a comfortable retreat with potential as a holiday let, downsizing home, or rural full-time base.
