The property is entered from the front, with the main entrance leading through to an entrance hall, opening through to an open plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen design features a range of light blue coloured, traditional wall and floor units, complimented by a solid wooden worktop. The design allows for a number of appliances including freestanding range cooker and tall fridge freezer.

To the left of the hallway, the family lounge spans the full width of the house, warmed through by a multi-fuel stove. French doors open to the rear garden, effortlessly opening up this welcoming space and flooding the room with natural daylight.

Also located on the ground floor, a double bedroom is located to the rear of the house, also benefitting from open views to the rear garden. An adjacent bathroom features a full-sized bath with separate shower cubicle.

The staircase leads from the hallway to give access to the first floor, where a further two bedrooms are located, each of which benefits from en-suite facilities. All of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobe space, with the first-floor bedrooms also enjoying far-reaching views across the local countryside.

The stairs continues to the top floor of the property where two attic rooms are located, one of which houses the water storage tanks. Natural light floods the attic space, offering scope for use as a home office, studio or ancillary accommodation.

The gardens surrounding Hawthorn House extend to an area of approximately 0.22 acres, partly bordered by dry stone walls. Raised flower beds are positioned to the front, with a fruit garden and gravel garden positioned to the rear.

Also located within the grounds, a garden shed houses the pumping system for the rainwater harvesting system.

Parking is available to the side of the house, large enough to accommodate several vehicles.

Hawthorn House is located centrally on the popular Scottish island of Lismore. The island harbour serves the car ferry between Lismore and Oban. The Isle of Lismore, a fertile and historic limestone island which has supported a population since Neolithic times, is one of the least explored of the Inner Hebrides.

Lismore has a well-respected primary school, village hall, general store, post office and heritage centre with café. The island has a thriving community, situated as it is a short distance from the mainland at Port Appin and accessed by a regular passenger ferry with a vehicular ferry operating daily services from Oban to the village of Achnacroish.

If travelling by ferry from Oban, exit the ferry and follow the road up the hill to the T junction, joining the main island road. Turn right, following the road past the island store and heritage centre.

Hawthorn House can be found on the left-hand side, approximately 200 yards past the Church. Parking is available to the side of the property.

If travelling by passenger ferry from Port Appin, the property is approximately 2.7 miles by bike or walk from the ferry terminal ferry. An island taxi service is available by prior booking.
