Summary - TIGH NA DROCHAID, ISLE OF SKYE, DUISDALE BEAG, ISLE ORNSAY IV43 8QU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Minimalist family home on half-acre plot with bright open-plan living and woodland privacy.
Designed by local architects Dualchas, sensitive croft-meets-modern design
Designed by local practice Dualchas, this four-bedroom detached house blends crofting traditions with pared-back Scandinavian minimalism. The well-considered open-plan ground floor, high ceilings and large glazed doors create a bright sociable hub that opens onto a timber deck and half-acre garden framed by a wooded burn.
Three bedrooms and a family bathroom are on the ground floor, with a loft-style double bedroom and shower room tucked under the roof. Practical touches include a boot/utility room, generous built-in storage and a wood-burning stove that anchors the living space — useful for chilly island winters.
The plot is a major asset: very large, largely natural and skirted by woodland and a burn, it offers excellent privacy, wildlife interest and clear sky views for stargazing or occasional Aurora. A practical shed and off-street parking complete the outdoor offering.
Be aware of material limitations for buyers who need fast connectivity or frequent mainland commutes. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. The property sits in a remote, very deprived area classification; everyday essentials are nearby in Isle Ornsay and Broadford, but some services and secondary schooling require a drive.
