A charming off-grid lochside house tucked away on the shores of Loch Bay, Scotland, is for sale for £435,000.
Built in the late 18th century as part of the Waternish Estate, The Boathouse has characterful interiors and plenty of original features peppered throughout. Thanks to lots of TLC from previous owners, it's now the perfect place for a new family to move into right away.
Step inside and you'll discover two spacious reception rooms, one bathroom, a log-burning fireplace, stone walls, high ceilings, wooden beams, recently-replaced windows, spectacular coastal views and a sheltered harbour, too. If you're on the hunt for a home away from the crowds, then this could be just the ticket.
While some of the rooms could do with a little modernising (notably the tartan carpet in the dining room), the furnishing style reflects the owners interest in the Arts and Crafts movement, with much of the furniture dating from the early 1900s.
The main pull here is the property's peaceful and unspoilt setting. New owners can expect regular wildlife sightings, glistening sea views, Cuillin mountains in the backdrop and a waterfall to the rear of the home. Make sure not to forget your binoculars, as you won't want to miss this.
It's also worth knowing that the house is currently a successful holiday let, managed through the owner's website. Whether you want to live here yourself or rent it out to holidaymakers, it really does tick all the right boxes.
The Boathouse is currently for sale for £435,000 with Galbraith via OnTheMarket.
