Formerly the Waternish Parish Manse, the original part of this delightful ‘B’ listed property was designed in 1828 by the renowned architect, Thomas Telford. The entrance hall and lounge have beautiful wood panelling detail and this is continued up the attractive staircase to the landing and master bedroom. Many of the sash windows have internal wood shutters and other traditional features within the house include the 6 panel pine doors, dado rails and pine floors.
Although the property has been transformed over the years into a comfortable family home the property still retains a wonderful character and traditional feel. On the ground floor the hallway, lounge and dining room all have pine floors whilst in the family kitchen and utility area quarry tiles have been laid. In the kitchen the Aga is very much the focal point of the room, not only providing heat for cooking but providing a lovely ambiance to the room. The property is accessed through a pillared gateway with a gravelled driveway leading to the front of the house. The Manse is surrounded by a large attractive garden which is bordered by mature trees. To the rear of the property are a number of outbuildings which may be suitable for conversion to further living accommodation, subject to the usual planning consents.
The township of Hallin is located on the popular Waternish Peninsula on the North West coast of Skye.
Waternish lies some 25 miles north west of Portree, the principal town on the island. The area is renowned for its sunsets and the picturesque village of Stein, designated as a conservation area, which has a very popular pub and seafood restaurant. Other facilities available in the area include craft shops, a primary school and small post office. A wider range of facilities, including shops, restaurants, doctors and dentists surgeries are available in Dunvegan, approximately 5 miles away, whilst Portree offers secondary education, banks, a wide range of shops, sports facilities, hotels and restaurants.
