Moss Cottage, 1b Eorodale, Ness, Isle Of Lewis, Ross-Shire, HS2 0XJ

We are delighted to welcome to the market this beautifully presented former village bakery built in the 19th century. The three bedroom property was renovated between 2017 and 2022 when it was stripped back to the stone wall and restored with a timber kit construction, meeting with all building regulations. Located in a peaceful setting in the popular and scenic district of Ness near the Butt of Lewis the house has been thoughtfully designed, keeping a traditional feel with some modern touches blending contemporary comfort and timeless character.

The accommodation is both well proportioned and highly adaptable, offering a versatile layout suited to a variety of lifestyles. The ground floor opens into a welcoming hallway, providing access to a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot bath and separate shower enclosure. The principal reception room offers flexibility of use, whether as a sitting room, study or dining room. From here, the flow continues into the recently fitted kitchen/diner, a generous space ideal for family living and entertaining, with ample room for dining. A utility room to the rear provides practical storage solutions with a spacious drying area. Bedroom one is also located on the ground floor and is currently utilised as an art studio. On the first floor, a bright and airy lounge enjoys dual aspect windows and a charming multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. From this central space, there is access to the master bedroom with en-suite facilities, along with a further well-proportioned double bedroom.

The property is beautifully presented and is offered in immaculate order with a wealth of charming features which have been carefully incorporated throughout, these include exposed stonework, solid oak doors, vintage-style radiators, a multi-fuel cast iron stove in the upstairs lounge and fire surrounds in each bedroom.

Heating is provided via a Grant Vortex oil-fired boiler, and the property benefits from double glazed UPVC windows throughout.

Externally, the property benefits from an attached outbuilding extending to approximately 6.5m x 5m. With its own independent access and full electrical supply, the space offers excellent potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary local authority consents. It should be noted that the adjoining building to the rear is under separate ownership by the neighbouring property and does not form part of the sale.

There is a small garden to the front with a graveled seating area with a border of shrubs and herbaceous plants, the seating area is a sheltered sun trap in the warmer weather. There is a stone dyke wall surrounding the garden and some raised beds for vegetable growing to the side of the property. There is a generous area for off-road parking in front of the outbuilding with room for two cars to park comfortably.

The property is ideally located to take advantage of excellent local amenities, including breathtaking coastline and sandy beaches, a school, social club, hotel with local pub, a selection of shops, fuel station, launderette, charity shop, museum, cafes, leisure centre, swimming pool and even a two-lane bowling alley-making it a wonderful opportunity to enjoy island living at its finest. There is also a good bus service in the area.

A truly distinctive aspect of the property is its own unique tartan, a rare and characterful feature that beautifully reflects the heritage and identity of the Hebridean setting, adding an additional layer of individuality and charm to this already exceptional home.

The selling agents would strongly recommend prompt internal inspection to fully appreciate this beautiful property with its impressive outlook and surroundings.
