Glen Cottage, Mallaig, PH41 4QN

Charming Detached Traditional Cottage

Occupying a prime, elevated position, located on the edge of the coastal village of Mallaig with its bustling port, Glen Cottage forms a most impressive and charming, detached cottage, set in its own generous grounds. Boasting spectacular, uninterrupted sea views towards the Isle of Skye, the property is an excellent example of a traditional build, which has been upgraded and modernised throughout in recent years. Offering deceptively spacious accommodation, conveniently arranged over two levels, the property comprises a bright dual-aspect lounge/diner with feature multi-fuel stove and patio doors, a striking, modern quality-fitted Wren kitchen with integral appliances, a newly installed utility/cloakroom, with entrance porch and hallway all on the ground floor, whilst two double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room complete the accommodation on the upper floor. Benefiting from double glazing and an electric wet heating system, the owner has created a very comfortable home, in walk-in condition with neutral decor, and would be ideally suited as a permanent family home, an idyllic holiday retreat, or an investment opportunity in a buoyant self-catering market.    

Mallaig is a popular west coast village, situated at the end of the "Road to the Isles" from Fort William to Mallaig. With its coastal situation, it is an ideal location from which to explore this extremely attractive part of the Highlands. Ferries operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and Western Isles Cruises sail from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, and the Isles of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, and Canna. The village itself has hotels, restaurants, shops, superb bakery, gallery, primary and secondary schools, while further facilities are available in Fort William, to which there is a link by both road and rail, including the Jacobite Steam Train.
