To the right of the hallway, a versatile workroom is ooded with natural light from dual aspect windows, currently used as a home oce, but equally well-suited as a study, studio or additional, ground-oor, bedroom. A pantry/store room and a utility/drying room are also accessed from the hallway, along
with a separate w.c., and a boot room and secondary entrance to the rear.

Upstairs, the spacious rst-oor landing is ooded with natural light from a combination of ve Velux roof windows. This space leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom features an en-suite shower room, with w.c and wash basin, and direct access to the conservatory gallery, providing extensive views of the croft. A family bathroom is also accessed from the landing, serving the remaining bedrooms.

The Croft
The croft itself spans both sides of the island road (the U50) and boasts a strong history of quality livestock production. Separate grazing paddocks have been supplied with livestock drinking troughs, fed from the private water supply.

A substantial agricultural shed provides ample dry storage and shelter for animals and benets from the installation of a sheep-handling fank and cattle penning.

Adjacent to the home, a dedicated area has been cultivated for home-grown produce - an enclosed garden that perfectly complements the crofting lifestyle.

4 Craignich is located centrally on the Scottish Isle of Lismore, a fertile and historically significant limestone island which has supported a population since neolithic times. This magical island is one of the least explored of the Inner Hebrides.

Lismore has a well-respected primary school, public hall, general store and post office, and a heritage centre with museum and cafe. The island has a thriving resident community, situated, as it is, a short distance from the mainland at Port Appin, and accessed via a frequent foot passenger ferry. Alternatively, a vehicular ferry provides a daily timetabled service from Oban to the Lismore settlement of Achnacroish (about a mile from Craignich).

Specications for the property include private water supply and drainage, an oil-red Aga cooker with water heating, a multi-fuel stove and a mechanical ventilation system with heat-recovery.
