Compact detached cottage with countryside views, ideal for downsizers or a renovation project.
One-bedroom detached single-storey cottage with sunroom
Set in a quiet crofting settlement, this detached one-bedroom cottage offers a compact, single-storey layout that will suit someone looking to downsize or create a low-maintenance rural retreat. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and sunroom soak up countryside views; the lounge benefits from a feature wood-burning stove and dual-aspect windows. The property is freehold and has a wrap‑around garden with mature shrubs and a garden shed.
The cottage requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic and practical upgrades are needed to bring the accommodation up to contemporary standards. Heating is electric and the property uses a private water supply with septic tank drainage; double glazing is already installed. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal, which is important to factor into day-to-day living or remote-working plans.
Its remote location is both a strength and a constraint: Applecross and coastal attractions are within reach for leisure, but everyday services are limited locally and Lochcarron is about an hour’s drive for wider amenities. The Home Report valuation is listed at £145,000; the asking price is £100,000, reflecting the renovation requirement and rural setting.
This cottage will appeal to buyers seeking a peaceful, characterful home to personalise — ideal for downsizers, holiday-use buyers, or those wanting a Highlands base. Practical buyers should be prepared for renovation work, reliance on a private septic system, and poor connectivity.
