Description

Welcome to the enchanting village of Idrigill, nestled in the heart of Uig on the beautiful Isle Of Skye. A place where tradition and nature seamlessly intertwine, providing the ideal backdrop for your dream country home. There's something truly magical about this corner of the world, where the pressures of modern life seem to drift away with the tide.

The property we have here is a charming two-bedroom former croft house, exuding traditional character while promising modern comfort. This delightful home is situated in a peaceful and picturesque setting, offering astonishing sea views over Uig Bay and the tranquil harbor. This unique opportunity is perfect for those looking for a blend between rustic charm and serene surroundings.

Living in Idrigill is all about embracing the slower pace of life. The village itself is small and tight-knit, where a friendly community spirit thrives. You'll find that the local people are warm and welcoming, making it an eye-opening place for newcomers from various corners of the world. The calm of the countryside is a welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of city living, and the scenery is simply breath-taking—imagine waking up each morning to the stunning vista of the bay.

Now, imagine yourself entering this lovely two-bedroom croft house. The ground floor greets you with an entrance porch where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views as you sip your morning coffee. The hallway feels inviting, leading you into a cozy lounge fitted with an original open fireplace. It's a spot where you can practically hear the crackle of a roaring fire, making it the perfect haven during the cooler months. The lounge maintains its character with traditional v-lining on the walls and carpet underfoot.

The dining room offers another opportunity to enjoy those captivating views—just picture family gatherings while enjoying the charm of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen, though compact, comes with wall and floor units just waiting to cook up hearty meals. The rear lobby leads to both the kitchen and store room, which could easily serve as a study or library, with views that could inspire your next big project.
