Duart Cottage is a deceptively spacious stone-built cottage set in the tidal inlet of South Obbe, Kyleakin, with unrestricted elevated views across the Obbe. The property provides three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two floors, arranged for flexible living with a ground-floor bedroom and living space that suit multigenerational use or short‑let occupancy. Well-maintained interiors and integrated appliances are included, and the terraced, landscaped rear garden offers multiple private seating areas to enjoy the harbour aspect.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, off-street parking, mains services and an excellent mobile signal, with the Skye Bridge and local facilities less than a mile away. The cottage sits in a tight-knit coastal village with outdoor activities and basic amenities close by, making it attractive to families, purchasers seeking a lifestyle home, or buyers looking for an island investment.
Notable drawbacks are factual: broadband speeds are reported slow and the home's EPC is E. The wider area is classified as very deprived and remoter, which may affect services and long-term demand. Prospective buyers should note the property’s traditional construction and modest room sizes; while in good decorative order, purchasers should satisfy themselves on heating, electrical systems and energy efficiency before commitment.
Overall, Duart Cottage offers characterful seaside living with good presentation and garden appeal. It will suit buyers seeking an authentic Isle of Skye cottage with flexible accommodation and strong local appeal, provided they accept the island’s rural infrastructure limits.
