Property description

New to the market is this delightful and spacious traditional, white washed cottage on the charming Isle of Luing. The island is one of the famous slate isles where until 1965 slate quarrying had been a mainstay of the community for many years. Built over 150 years ago for a slate worker and his family, the cottage, which is located in the delightful village of Cullipool, is one of only a few benefiting from sea views. It also has the rare, added benefit of a wonderful, walled garden with uninterrupted views across the Sound of Luing to Mull. The cottage offers Total Control electric heating, a solid fuel stove and a spacious, developed loft area providing additional living accommodation or storage space. We understand some furniture will also be included in the sale. Due to the uniqueness of its location, we would advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
