Description
Situated in the charming village of Ballygrant on the picturesque Isle of Islay, the properties at Craigard present a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a diverse portfolio, comprising a thriving café and tearoom, a three-bedroom letting flat, a partially converted one-bedroom letting flat, along with a three-bedroom owner’s residence.
This unique offering provides an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for those seeking to establish a presence on the island. The café and tearoom, popular with both locals and tourists, serves a wide selection of freshly prepared food, cakes, and local delicacies, available for dine-in or takeaway. A well-equipped back-of-house area includes kitchen and storage facilities, with a convenient loading entrance to the rear. A laundry room also sits to the rear.
The owner’s residence is accessed from the rear elevation and features a ground floor kitchen-diner, with stairs leading to the upper floor where a comfortable lounge, three bedrooms, and a shower room are located—ideal for family living or on-site management. This unit also offers scope for letting, if on-site accommodation is not required.
A separate three-bedroom letting property, arranged over three levels, generates a regular income and is a favourite among holidaymakers. The layout includes an entrance hall leading to a first-floor landing, accessing lounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, with two further bedrooms and a second bathroom located on the upper floor.
Also positioned within the building is a partially converted ground floor flat which will offer one-bedroom accommodation. This unit presents further potential for development and could be adapted for long-term rental or holiday letting.
Externally, the property enjoys a prime position within the village, perfectly located to capitalise on passing trade. The residence and one bedroom unit are accessed via a rear courtyard, attractively landscaped with a variety of shrubs and bushes that provide seasonal colour throughout the year.
Additionally, a large stone shed at the top of the garden currently serves as overflow storage for the business but offers exciting potential for conversion or leasing to a local enterprise.
Islay is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Known as “The Queen of the Hebrides”, it lies in Argyll just southwest of Jura and around 40 kilometres north of the Northern Irish coast.
The properties at Craigard are located centrally within popular village of Ballygrant on Islay, an ideal spot for the café to benefit from passing traffic. A number of tourists also stop for refreshments, many of which are visiting the various distilleries around the island.
Port Ellen is the principal fishing port and ferry terminal on the island with pontoons available for yachts. The other terminal is 18 miles away at Port Askaig. Port Ellen offers shopping facilities, hotels, restaurants, Post Office, Doctor’s surgery, playing fields and a primary school.
The world famous, challenging golf links at Machrie are a favourite for visitors, often arriving at the island’s small airport operating daily flights to Glasgow and Edinburgh. The island’s capital is Bowmore where there is the distinctive round Kilarrow Parish Church and a distillery.
Services include mains water, mains electricity, mains drainage, mains and air source heating, BT phone and internet connectivity.
Craigard is conveniently located in Ballygrant, a village on the main road across Islay, just 4.5 miles from Port Askaig. Parking is available on the street to the front of the property.
