2 bedroom detached house for sale

Ballimony cottage truly is a rural idyll, offering outstanding far reaching views and a high degree of privacy. Located on the The Rhinns of Islay it is an area of some of the most beautiful and picturesque villages of Islay as well as stunning bays and views over the Atlantic Ocean. Only by viewing this outstanding home can it be fully appreciated.

Ballimony Cottage is a stunning property located along a peaceful single track road, just under two miles from the Village of Portnahaven.  It is a truly lovely and pristine detached property, well worth viewing.  The house enjoys sweeping views from an elevated position over open moorland with ocean glimpse in the distance.  The gardens are large, extending to approximatly 2 acres or 0.81 of a hectare in total but are easily maintained with the immediate garden grounds laid to grass and colourful herbaceous shrubs and includes a useful timber shed all enclosed by a pretty dry stone wall whilst a far larger area of grassland offers a multitude of uses and is a haven for nature with boundaries of post and wire fencing.  A largely separate piece of ground which makes up just under an 1 acre of the grounds to the west of the immediate garden may be suitable for future development subject to all usual planning permissions being sought and granted and would not detract from the beauty of Ballimony Cottage.

Internally, the house is finished to a high standard and features a very spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room which offers  good range of modern wall and base units, gas hob and a large under stairs storage cupboard.  The attractive living room features a multi-fuel stove and enjoys a dual aspect to both the front and rear.  The ground floor accommodation is completed by a very useful rear hall with storage cupboard and a luxury shower room with Travertine tiling to both walls and floor.

A staircase from the large entrance hall leads up to the gallery landing, a perfect spot for some quiet time and to two double bedrooms, one of which has excellent built in storage.  All fitted carpets and floor coverings are included.
Properties of this calibre rarely come to the market and early viewing is highly recommended. Islay is the most southerly of Argyll’s islands and lies approximately 20 miles off the mainland of Scotland. The island enjoys a rich cultural heritage which it celebrates in the form of Feis Ile, the annual festival of malt and music, a summer jazz festival and the Cantilena Festival of chamber music and art. There are excellent opportunities for sporting activities such as walking, fishing, shooting, sailing and golf on the renowned 18 hole Machrie Golf Course. SERVICES:
