3 Charming Homes - £845,000
WATERNISH, ISLE OF SKYE
This incredible group of three houses is found on the Isle of Skye’s beautiful, dramatic north-western coastline. Comprising a Croft House, a Blackhouse and a recently completed black corrugated metal-clad Bothy, as well as useful outbuildings. The current owners, a professional builder and designer, have carefully restored the two older houses over the years of their custodianship, researching traditional construction techniques and doing much of the work themselves.
The Blackhouse, built in circa 1800, would have been the original home for the crofters, which they would have shared with their animals. Adjacent would have been a hayloft, now united with the Blackhouse to form a lovely one-bedroom home. The turf roof is dug from the surrounding land and has orchids and bluebells growing on it at different times of the year. The Croft House, built in 1934 from village stone, replaced the Blackhouse as the family home.
