Summary - BISHOPS WELL, KEILS, ISLE OF JURA, CRAIGHOUSE PA60 7XG
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious detached home with annexe, planning permission and sweeping island views.
Detached four-bedroom house with three bathrooms and vaulted sitting room
Bishops Well is a spacious, well-equipped detached home on an elevated 1.3-acre plot with uninterrupted waterscape views across small isles to Gigha and Kintyre. The main house offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and bright, easily managed accommodation across two levels. Built for efficiency, the property includes underfloor heating, solar water heating and a mechanical heat recovery system, reducing running costs while retaining traditional cottage character.
The house layout suits principal family living — generous sitting room with vaulted ceiling and multi-fuel stove, an open-plan kitchen/dining area with pantry, ground-floor bedroom with en suite, and a master suite on the first floor. A self-contained annexe offers an extra bedroom, kitchen/living space and workshop, useful either for guests, staff or letting income. Detailed planning permission (ref: 20/02092/PP) has been approved to extend the property due north-east, increasing future living space or rental potential.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: drainage is to a private septic tank, tenure details are not specified, and the services listed have not been independently checked. The location is remote by nature — mobile signal is average although broadband speeds are reported as fast — and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect local services and resale dynamics. Council Tax is in Band E and above average for the island.
For investors or second‑home buyers the house offers strong holiday‑letting appeal given Jura’s events, beaches and wildlife draw. For a family seeking tranquillity and privacy it delivers large gardens, abundant wildlife, and easy access to Craighouse amenities, ferry links and seasonal seaplane services. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance of outbuildings, garden upkeep on the large plot, and confirm service/tenure details during due diligence.
