Set directly above Port Righ bay with private, a few-feet beach access, this substantial traditional home plus attached cottage offers rare coastal living and strong rental or multi-generation potential. The main house is a stone-built, 2½-storey dwelling with five bedrooms (two en-suites), a spacious lounge, dining room and music room; the adjoining cottage provides a ground-floor living/kitchen, three bedrooms and useful attached sheds. Solar panels and air-source heating have been fitted to the cottage, while the main house uses oil-fired central heating. The plot includes a lawned garden with views to Carradale Forest and generous gravelled off-street parking at front, side and rear.
Key practical strengths are the direct waterfront position, excellent mobile signal, Chain Free sale and the properties being offered together — a configuration suited to a family needing space, a coastal holiday business, or an investor looking for dual accommodation. The houses were recently featured on television, underlining the location’s scenic appeal and public interest.
Be candid about constraints: the location sits in a remote, very deprived area with very slow broadband, which will affect home working and streaming. Council Tax is high for the main house (Band F) and utilities differ between the two properties (oil heating in the main house; air source plus solar in the cottage). The accommodation is largely traditional in finish with original features and working stoves but will suit buyers prepared to maintain or update parts of the fabric and services.
Overall, this chain-free coastal pair represents a distinctive opportunity for buyers seeking spacious seaside property with views and parking, but it is best suited to those who accept rural limitations, lower connectivity and the need for some ongoing upkeep.
