Charming detached cottage
*** reduced guide price - £20,000 below home report valuation ***
Enjoying an elevated position, with stunning sea views towards the Small Isles of the Inner Hebrides, the subjects of sale form a charming, detached cottage, located in the popular, fishing port of Mallaig. Offering flexible accommodation, conveniently arranged over two floors, Gillies Cottage benefits from double glazing, electric heating, and is in very good order. The bright, dual aspect, conservatory, enjoying the best of the views, and French doors to the garden, is a most attractive feature. Due to the size and location, the property would be ideally suited to as a permanent family home as currently used, as an idyllic holiday retreat or as an investment opportunity for the very buoyant self-catering market. Please note, blinds and lights fittings are included in the sale, however curtains and curtain rails/poles are not.
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.

Garden
Ghillies Cottage is approached by a shared lane, leading to ample off-street parking, both by the side of the property, and directly across the lane. Benefiting from a deceptively large, elevated garden, laid to a mixture of mainly lawn and gravel, the rear opens up, providing spectacular sea views, and featuring matures shrubs and bushes. The side area is laid to concrete, for ease of maintenance, leading to the two garden sheds, both with light and power. A further, very small shed is included in the sale. Water and electric points are located outside the property.
Travel Directions
Travelling from Fort William on the A830 road, proceed for around 40 miles to the village of Mallaig. On entering the village, turn right on the roundabout on to the B8008. When entering the village, turn right at the roundabout, past the Co-op and turn right on to Davies Brae. Follow this road up, and round to the left. At the Church of Scotland, turn left then immediately right up the hill (not ahead to the school). Ghillies Cottage is the first property located on the left hand side. There is ample, private off-street parking, across from the property on the right hand side of the lane.
