Summary - Bornisketaig, Kilmuir, Isle of Skye, IV51 9YS IV51 9YS
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Generous 4-bed croft house with garage, garden and B&B potential in elevated Skye setting.
Stunning unrestricted views of Loch Snizort, The Minch and the Cuillin Mountains
Tigh Mhartainn is a generously proportioned 4-bedroom stone croft house set on an elevated plot on the Trotternish peninsula. The property is offered in walk-in condition and benefits from generous living rooms, log burners and a detached single garage. From the house you have unrestricted views over Loch Snizort and The Minch and the Cuillin Mountains, a rare selling point for a family home or rural holiday-let on Skye.
The current layout includes a ground-floor annex and approved planning to incorporate that annex via a single-storey rear extension — a practical route to increase living space or create a self-contained unit for B&B or holiday lets. The garden grounds, private gated access and off-street parking support flexible use, and extras such as a sauna and some integrated appliances are included in the sale.
Practical considerations: the house dates from c.1860 and has an EPC rating of F (30), oil-fired central heating and drainage to a septic tank. These factors mean energy performance and some services may need upgrading. The location is tranquil and remote — beautiful but with limited local amenities (nearest main village Uig about 5 miles; Portree 19 miles) and average mobile/broadband reception.
This is a good opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious family home with business potential or a peaceful crofting property with exceptional views. Buyers should factor in energy-improvement works, septic tank maintenance and the rural travel distances when considering the purchase.
