Tigh Mo Chridhe (Home of my heart) is a substantial detached 5 bedroom property set in its own private landscaped gardens and is surrounded by mature trees.
Whilst the property was only built around 40 years ago, it has been modernised and upgraded by the current owners to a high standard within the last three years and is presented in walk in condition.
The rooms within the house are bright and spacious and provide ample space for a growing family or for use as a bed & breakfast establishment.
The property benefits from oil fired central heating with an open fire in the sitting room and is fully double glazed.
Tigh Mo Chridhe sits in a generous landscaped garden extending to 0.5 of an acre or thereby (to be confirmed by Title Deed) and is bordered by a range of mature trees. There is a gravel driveway with ample parking for a number of vehicles. Within the garden is a block built garage which has an upper floor and offers the potential for conversion to provide additional accommodation subject to any necessary planning consent/building warrant.
Location:
Skeabost Bridge (Norse for protected land) is situated just a 10 minute drive from Portree the principal town on the island. Skeabost has a strong historical past being the location of The Battle of Trouternes which took place in 1539 between the MacDonalds and the MacLeods. The area is also home to an ancient chapel built on Saint Columba’s Island situated at the mouth of the River Snizort. The chapel was dedicated to St Columba who is said to have visited the island around 585AD and the remains of the chapel and graveyard are still visible today.
Portree offers a full range of facilities from shops, restaurants and bars to sporting facilities as well as secondary schooling, community swimming pool and library. Primary facilities are available at MacDiarmid Primary School at Skeabost.
