Description

The Old Drying Green is in a beautiful setting on the northeast side of Loch Ewe in the scattered crofting community of Mellon Charles, a short walk from Boom Beach. The nearby village of Aultbea lies on the west shore of the loch and has a good range of amenities including a village shop, doctor’s surgery, garage and a hotel and bar. There is a primary school at Bualnaluib, 1.5 miles from Mellon Charles, and secondary schooling is in Gairloch about 15 miles away and for which there is a free bus service. Further shops and amenities are available in Poolewe, Gairloch, Ullapool and Dingwall, with Inverness some 78 miles distant having all the facilities of a major city, including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.

The Old Drying Green is an architect-designed house, commissioned and built by the current owners, the build having commenced in 2010. Thoughtfully designed to combine energy efficiency and accessibility, and to take full advantage of spectacular setting. The clever use of glazing frames the views across the surrounding landscape, Loch Ewe and beyond, while also maximising the influx of the costal light and solar gain throughout the year. The property is energy efficient, having an air source heat pump, a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (MVHR) system, and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. A high standard of finish is evident throughout, with Siberian larch cladding externally, travertine floor tiling across the ground floor, oak flooring on the first floor, and quality bathroom and kitchen fittings. A key element of the architect’s brief was to create a home that would meet current accessibility needs. As a result, the property features accessible entrances, together with a substantial ground-floor bedroom suite comprising a generous bedroom, wet room, dressing room and sitting room/office. Seamlessly integrated into the main architectural design, this space has been thoughtfully planned so that it can be easily adapted to suit changing requirements in the future.
