Description
Located off the main road between Shader and Borve on the west side of the Isle of Lewis, this deceptively spacious detached property enjoys a peaceful rural setting with beautiful sea views to the rear and views towards a nearby loch to the side. Surrounded by generous wrap-around gardens and accompanied by croft land extending to approximately 3.76 acres, the property offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking space and tranquility .
The accommodation is flexible and well laid out. Entry can be made via the front vestibule or the side doors, which leads into the porch and utility area. The welcoming kitchen forms the heart of the home and provides access to the dining room/utility space which is open plan to the utility, creating a bright and sociable area ideal for family living or entertaining. A cosy lounge is accessed from the kitchen and leads into the front vestibule and front hallway, where two bedrooms and the bathroom are located. From the hallway, a staircase leads to the landing where you access the shower room, bedroom three and the master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazed windows and doors throughout.
Externally, the property is surrounded by large gardens laid mainly to grass, with pathways leading to both the front and side gates. A substantial outbuilding to the side provides excellent storage space and benefits from an electricity supply, offering potential for additional appliances or workshop use. To the rear, a secure enclosed garden area with high fencing provides privacy and shelter. Off-road parking is available to the side of the property, with further space available to the front if required.
The sale also includes Croft 49 Fivepenny, extending to approximately 3.76 acres. The croft is split across two areas: one situated directly behind the house and another further down in the village, which includes an outbuilding.
Borve is located approximately 16 miles from Stornoway, the main town on the Isle of Lewis, and offers convenient access to local amenities including a mini market, doctor's surgery and a hotel with bar and restaurant.
This spacious home, with its generous accommodation, attractive setting and included croft land, presents a rare opportunity. Early internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this property has to offer.
The property is initially entered from the side via UPVC door into utility room.
