Description

The Hebridean Estate Agency are delighted to welcome to the market this B listed semi-detached period property, located in the highly sought-after and rarely available area of James Street, on the outskirts of Stornoway town centre.

This spacious and characterful home offers generous family accommodation arranged over three levels. The ground floor comprises an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming hallway with a sweeping feature staircase, a bright lounge with large front-facing bay window on open plan to the dining room, and a fully fitted dining kitchen with access to the rear courtyard and garden.

The first floor landing is light and airy and provides access to three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC. The staircase continues to the second floor, where a fourth bedroom and an attic space are located.

While the property requires renovation throughout, it retains many appealing period features, including a stained-glass window on the staircase, a stained-glass skylight on the first-floor landing, high ceilings, and feature fireplaces in the lounge and two of the bedrooms. The front boundary is defined by cast-iron railings set atop a stone wall, adding to the property's traditional charm. As the property is located within a designated conservation area some remedial works will need approved by the local authority.

Heating is provided by a mains gas boiler located in bedroom one, supplying radiators throughout the home. All windows are double glazed.

To the rear, the kitchen door opens into a courtyard giving access to the garage, an outdoor WC, and steps leading up to the garden. The garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by a high wall, offering excellent privacy. A pathway leads to two stone outbuildings at the top of the garden, with mature trees and shrubs adding to the appeal of the space. There is room for off-road parking in front of the garage.

Conveniently situated close to all town amenities, this property presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a distinctive period home with significant potential.

Viewing is strongly encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity this attractive property offers.
