Designed by Thomas Telford, the Category B listed former Waternish Parish church in the Isle of Skye has been transformed into two semi-detached homes.
While the original church was designed in 1829, the two homes which are now available offer the potential to enjoy modern family living in spaces that still retain a cosy sense of charm with features such as arched windows and exposed stone walls.
The two semi-detached homes could be used separately as a family home and a potential holiday let or there’s also scope to transform the properties into one large home subject to planning permission.
Currently, the first property has a spacious lounge and dining room with beautiful oak floors and a kitchen complete with lots of storage units. Upstairs, the landing is accented by a characterful stone wall where there’s space for a study area. The two bedrooms, one of which has its own ensuite, and a bathroom complete the accommodation. Similarly, the second house has a well-sized living and dining area as well as a spacious kitchen but boasts three double bedrooms on the first floor alongside a family bathroom.
Located along the Waternish Peninsula, Dunhallin is a crofting community and not too far away from the property there’s a local village, a primary school, secondary school, and the opportunity to embark on endless coastal and forest walks. Beautiful Skye sunsets can also be enjoyed regularly, and as the area is a designated dark sky area, the three dark sky viewing sites are perfect for taking in the wonders of the night sky.
