Set on the Windward coast of Waternish, this detached two-bedroom house commands uninterrupted sea views across the Minch and the Outer Isles. The property sits within generous, fully enclosed garden grounds with a gravel driveway, two timber sheds and private parking — a rare plot size for the area. Double glazing and a multi-fuel stove provide basic comfort while retaining scope for improvement.
Internally the accommodation is arranged over two levels: ground-floor entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, bedroom and shower room; upstairs a landing leads to a large double bedroom and second shower room. The living room’s large front window takes full advantage of the coastal outlook. Built-in storage is ample but many internal finishes are dated and will benefit from modernization.
The house is structurally sound from visible information but explicitly requires renovation and cosmetic upgrading. Buyers should budget for kitchen and bathroom refurbishment and potential internal redecoration. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for remote working — but its remoteness and the area’s higher deprivation level may limit local services and resale pool.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a peaceful coastal retreat with outstanding views who is prepared to invest in updating. It offers exceptional location value for Isle of Skye living: freehold tenure, sizable plot, off-street parking and immediate sea frontage — all with realistic renovation scope.
