Externally
The property sits in approximately 1 acre of ground surrounded by an abundance of wildlife, hillside, croftland, mountain scenery and takes in stunning views towards the Sound of Mull and the Isle of Coll.
A large wrap around garden sweeps the perimeter of the property. There is gated access to the front and rear of the main house and the annex entrance is to the side. The main house garden at the rear benefits from a large and newly laid patio, shed and woodstore.
A pathway leads to the rear of the property where a polytunnel is situated. The two glamping pods are currently unused. One of the pods is brand new whilst the other is not functional and therefore used for storage. The ground work has been prepared for a 2nd new pod. There is currently no electrical or plumbing supply to the existing pod although it is believed that electrical supply is available as the land was formerly a campsite with hook ups. The new glamping pod is available by separate negotiation.
A long access drive leads to off road parking for several vehicles and to the side, rear garden and to the glamping pod.
The front is predominately grass with a metal fence surrounding the boundary, there is plenty of space to sit or entertain and enjoy the outside space.
The location makes for a great holiday destination and the significant grounds have the potential to generate a significant income.
