Off-street parking and immediate access to coastal countryside

Located in a remote, very deprived area; nearest village facilities several miles away
Set in the remote hamlet of Toscaig on the Applecross peninsula, this traditional three-bedroom cottage offers a genuine Highland retreat and strong holiday-let potential. The stone-built property has classic character: slate roof, dormer windows, double glazing, a wood-burning stove in the lounge and an enclosed garden that sits amid unspoiled countryside.
Accommodation is practical and straightforward: lounge with wood panelling and stove, a compact dated kitchen, ground-floor bedroom/sitting room with an open fire, two first-floor bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a bathroom with electric shower over the bath. There is a covered storage area and powered shed to the rear plus off-street parking to the front.
Buyers should note the cottage’s limitations as well as its strengths. The property has electric heating throughout and a dated kitchen that will need modernising; some cosmetic and functional updating is likely required. There is no mobile signal and broadband speeds are very slow — important for anyone needing reliable connectivity.
This is a property for someone seeking peace, coastal scenery and the lifestyle of a remoter community rather than convenience. It will suit buyers looking for a weekend/holiday bolthole, a characterful family home in a stunning location, or an investor targeting short-term lets (subject to local demand and regulations). Viewing is the only way to appreciate the setting and the practical potential on offer.
