Summary - 8, HERBUSTA, OSMIGARRY - PEINGOWN - HERIBUSTA - KILMUIR ROAD IV51 9YX
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Charming island home with large garden and walking distance to Uig ferry.
Sea views towards the Little Minch and Western Isles
Set on the north coast of Skye, 8 Herbusta is a charming whitewashed two‑bedroom cottage with wide sea views towards the Little Minch and the Western Isles. The house retains traditional character—v‑lined walls, quarter‑panel doors, wooden floors and a slate‑hearth log burner—while offering modern comforts including UPVC double glazing, oil central heating and an Aga in the farmhouse kitchen. The cottage is presented in walk‑in condition and benefits from ample built‑in storage and a usable attic dormer.
The plot is a strong selling point: mature, well maintained lawns, flowering borders and useful garden sheds sit on a large plot relative to the house footprint. Off‑street parking is available, but the garden is accessed via several steps from the parking area, which may affect accessibility. The property sits in a quiet rural setting a short drive from Uig, which provides basic services and the ferry link to the Outer Hebrides.
This property works well as a primary family home for those seeking island life, or as a holiday let/countryside retreat thanks to the coastal outlook and generous outdoor space. Practical considerations: mobile signal is average, broadband is fast, and there is no identified flood risk. The local area is remote and rates as very deprived, so buyers should be comfortable with limited local services and travel distances for wider amenities.
Buyers should note the cottage’s modest internal room sizes and relatively low to standard ceiling heights in places. While generally well maintained, the house is a traditional build—any purchaser should verify particulars in a full home report and budgeting for routine maintenance typical of older rural properties.
