Description

An opportunity to acquire a charming three-bedroom detached cottage, set in a rural location on the fringe of the coastal village of Bunessan on the ever-popular Isle of Mull

Nestled in a tranquil, rural setting just a short distance from the popular coastal village of Bunessan, Shepherds Cottage presents a unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, detached three-bedroom property. This charming croft cottage boasts far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and a short walk from two secluded white sandy beaches at Scoor and Kilvickeon.

The property is accessed from the front, with the main entrance leading into a boot room, perfect for storing outdoor clothing and footwear. From here, a doorway opens into an internal hall. To the right, a combined kitchen and dining room offers open views to the front. The fitted kitchen features a range of wooden wall and floor units, complemented by a contrasting worktop.The kitchen benefits from a modern wall mounted wood burner and there are a range of white goods including a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine.

To the left of the hall, a family lounge provides a comfortable space to relax with family and friends. This cosy living area is warmed by an open grate fire set within a stone fireplace. Exposed roof beams add character, perfectly complementing the stylish décor.

A shower room is also accessed from the hall, featuring a glazed shower and a white two-piece bathroom suite. The understairs area, accessible from the shower room, offers additional storage.

Accommodation is provided by three bedrooms, all located on the upper floor. The two largest bedrooms span the width of the property, while a smaller single room could also serve as a home office or study.

The property is presently operated as a licensed holiday let and currently benefits from small business full rates relief. It has been run successfully as a holiday let for many years and is popular with guests as evidenced by many repeat bookings.

Shepherds Cottage is accessed from the main road via a combination of road and shared private track, serving a cluster of nearby properties. A gated parking area to the side offers space for two vehicles.

The property is set within mature gardens, fenced along all boundaries. The front garden features a walled lawn area, and a wooden shed provides storage for outdoor equipment and machinery.

The local village of Bunessan boasts a thriving communty, with amenities including general store, hotel and village hall. The ferry to Iona, a popular tourist destination is just 15 minutes’ drive from the village centre.
