Summary - GLEN NAIRN, ACHNASHEEN, POOLEWE IV22 2LD
1 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Secluded coastal opportunity near Inverewe Gardens and local facilities.
Price £75,000 freehold — low entry cost
Described as 1 bedroom; alternative listing text references 2 bedrooms
Non-traditional timber construction; property needs significant renovation
Open fireplace with back boiler; electric storage and panel heaters present
Single-glazed windows throughout — likely requires replacement for efficiency
Small, private overgrown garden plus timber summer house and side store
Excellent mobile signal but slow broadband; remote rural location
Very low council tax band; no flood risk
Set deep in a peaceful Wester Ross village, this compact timber bungalow offers a low-cost entry to coastal Highland property ownership. The plot is private and wooded, with close access to Inverewe Gardens, local amenities, an indoor pool and outdoor pursuits — attractive for a holiday let or a buy-to-let summer retreat.
The property is in need of significant refurbishment and is of non-traditional timber construction. Heating is by an open fire with back boiler and electric storage/panel heaters; windows are single-glazed. A timber summer house and small, overgrown gardens increase usable external space but will need landscaping.
Given the condition and construction type, this home suits a cash buyer, an investor prepared to renovate, or someone seeking a project in a secluded coastal location. The freehold tenure, very low council tax band and no flood risk are practical positives, while slow broadband and the remote setting should be factored into plans.
If you are evaluating potential to add value through upgrading insulation, replacing windows and modernising services, this cottage provides affordable acquisition cost and strong location pull for short-term holiday lets or a modest permanent bolthole.
