Tigh na Chaorainn is a well-presented two-bedroom home set in a small crofting township, offering open views across Loch na Cairidh and generous garden grounds. Single-storey accommodation includes a sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, sunroom, kitchen/breakfast room, two bedrooms (one en-suite) and a main bathroom — suitable as a retirement base or low-maintenance family home.
Practical positives include chipped off-road parking for two cars and scope to extend parking or erect a garage (subject to planning). The house benefits from uPVC double glazing and partial heating via Electrorad instantaneous heaters, with mains water and electric to the property and drainage to a septic tank. Broadford’s amenities are about 4 miles south and Portree around 20 miles north.
Notable considerations: the property has an EPC rating of F and slow broadband speeds, which may affect running costs and remote working. Drainage is to a septic tank and will require routine maintenance. Built in the early 1900s and later extended, the bungalow may benefit from selective updating and energy-efficiency improvements. The site sits within a remoter, sparsely populated area and the wider locality records higher levels of deprivation, which can affect services and resale dynamics.
Overall, this cottage-style single-storey home will appeal to buyers seeking countryside privacy, outdoor space and straightforward accommodation close to Broadford. There is realistic potential to add a garage or refine the interior and services to improve comfort and efficiency.
