Overview
Fabulous breathtaking panoramic views of The Minch and the Isles of Skye, Harris and Lewis are enjoyed from this 2 bedroom two storey Architect designed croft house conversion situated in a peaceful remote location in Melvaig on the coast of Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands.
The home is full of charm and character and has been thoughtfully converted to seamlessly blend the original stone built croft house with the new extension creating a modern rustic style with exposed stone, wooden beams, oak doors, oak flooring and slate.
A ground source heat pump provides under floor heating and there are two multi-fuel stoves for cosy nights in. It also benefits from solar panels.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance vestibule, with bench seating, coat hooks and slate flooring, which opens into the open plan dining room/family room with multi-fuel stove, exposed wooden beams, oak flooring and picture windows enjoying the views, with patio doors opening onto a decking area, ideal for al fresco dining.
The lounge, contained within the original house, has been tastefully revamped with a cathedral ceiling reaching up to a mezzanine, exposed stone work, slate flooring and tongue and groove panelling. This bright and spacious lounge has two windows and a door to the garden, enjoying the views across The Minch. This room also has two skylight windows providing an abundance of natural light.
The kitchen, accessed from the open plan area, is a culinary delight. It has a Rangemaster, wall mounted and base units with a preparation area with stainless steel sink and an Island unit with sink and cupboards below. Wooden beams and slate flooring add to the cosy and inviting ambiance of this room. Leading off the kitchen there is a porch opening onto the rear garden.
There is a shower room off the open plan area and a bespoke wooden staircase leads up to the mezzanine, which is used for office space for working from home.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

Important Information for Prospective Purchasers
This schedule is intended only to help you decide whether to view the property. We always recommend you view the property personally.
The information is believed to be correct, but it is not warranted and is not to form part of any contract of sale. All dates, distances, areas and room sizes noted are approximate and for use as a general guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the working condition or otherwise of any equipment such as central heating or kitchen appliances.
This schedule should not be taken as a comment on the condition of the property. This is a matter for your surveyor and we recommend that once you have found a property you are interested in, you obtain a survey report. We can provide details of surveyors if required.
Interested parties are advised to note their interest through their solicitor as soon as possible so that they can be informed if a closing date is fixed. Noting interest does not place any obligation on the seller to set a closing date or to give any noted interests the opportunity to offer. Whilst every effort will be made to advise noted interests of any closing date set, this cannot be guaranteed.
No responsibility will be accepted for expenses incurred by parties who have noted interest but do not get an opportunity to offer, or for any expenses incurred traveling to properties which have been sold or withdrawn.
Susan Breen (Property Manager) and Andrea Ross (Senior Associate) at Harper Macleod, Inverness, did a wonderful job successfully guiding and supporting my wife and me through the process of selling our home and buying a new one. It was as seamless a process as I can ever imagine. It was a real pleasure to deal with two professionals happy to make themselves and their expertise available to us. I should mention that a key aspect of HM’s service stood out for me: Both Susan and Andrea were proactive in helping drive the sale and purchase processes through to completion. They helped make things happen rather than waiting for things to happen. We can’t recommend Harper Macleod, and in particular, Susan and Andrea, highly enough.
