SITUATION
Seashell Cottage is situated in Glen Kyles on the outskirts of Leverburgh, a small village on the southern tip of Harris. The property is in a sheltered setting, surrounded on three sides by neighbouring woodland. Local amenities in Leverburgh approximately one mile distant include a primary school, a community shop with 24/7 fuel service, a community hub, a village hall, and Leverburgh pier where the Harris Brewery serving food and beverages can be found and where a car ferry runs to and from Berneray on North Uist. The island of Lewis and Harris is in the Outer Hebrides and is the largest island in Scotland. A place of diverse landscapes, fascinating history and a strong cultural heritage, the island is the ultimate get away from it all destination. The Harris coastline is dotted with beaches ranging in size from the small to the 3 miles wide Luskentyre and Scarista beaches, all with stunning views over clear blue seas to the neighbouring islands of the Outer Hebrides. Walks to the beaches are along the paths and tracks that crisscross the machair, the fertile low-lying ground along the coast which is abundant in wildflowers and birdlife.

Seashell Cottage is a delightful, detached property, with a beautifully designed interior, sure to appeal to a range of purchasers. A comfortable sitting room and two of the three bedrooms can be found on the ground floor with both bedrooms having fitted wardrobes, and with wood panelled walls enhancing the cottage aesthetic. The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard with wall tiling, a roll top free-standing bath and a shower cubicle. The kitchen provides space for dining and the blue cabinetry brings a seaside feel. The adjacent utility room, again with wood panelled walls, provides a useful space for white goods and somewhere to store cloaks and boots. The principal bedroom continues the theme of the lower floor bedrooms along with its stylish en-suite shower room encompasses the entire first floor. The property could however easily be reconfigured to two bedrooms and two reception rooms. The property is currently run as a successful holiday let, managed through the owner’s website and has a short term letting licence (STLL) awarded, expiring in September 2026.
