Description

A well-presented four-bedroom detached bungalow, situated on approximately 3.4 acres of land in a stunning coastal setting on the sought-after Isle of Colonsay.

Situated in a picturesque coastal location, benefiting from far reaching coastal views, Baileiochdrach offers buyers an opportunity to acquire a well-presented four bedroom Doran bungalow, sitting with a sizable Land area extending to approximately 3.4 acres.

The property is entered from the front elevation, with vestibule leading through to a central hallway. To the right, the family lounge is located to the front of the house, perfectly positioned to capture the stunning coastal views. An open grate fire is set within a tiled surround, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. The lounge extends through to a dining room, large enough to accommodate a six-seater dining table.

Positioned to the rear of the property, a spacious kitchen features a range of gloss white base units, complimented by a roll top worktop. Various cupboards are built into the kitchen, offering pantry and storage space as required. A feature Rayburn stove sits within the kitchen, a focal point within the room. One of the cupboards houses the modern electrical fuse board.

A doorway to the rear of the kitchen leads through a boot room to an external lean-to, a newer extension to the original property, in turn, giving access to the rear gardens.

Accommodation is provided by way of four bedrooms, each located to the left of the hallway. All of the bedrooms enjoy individual decor, with coastal views available from each room.

A family bathroom is also accessed from the central hallway, featuring a white two-piece bathroom suite and walk-in shower design. The fourth bedroom is currently adapted for alternative use as a storeroom, also fitted with an additional WC.

Baileiochdrach has been a wonderful family home for many years. The site occupied an enviable elevated location on Colonsay, just a short distance from the shoreline. Interest is likely to be high, and early viewing is recommended.
