ARDNAHOE BOTHY
PORT ASKAIG
ISLE OF ISLAY
Idyllically situated only 3 miles from Port Askaig, in a completely secluded location on the banks of Loch Ardnahoe, this beautifully presented modern one and a half storey DETACHED DWELLINGHOUSE presents an opportunity to acquire a unique family home in a simply stunning position in a location which is a haven for native wildlife. The property is located at the north end of the island on the Bunnahabhain road, approximately 2 miles from the road end, just past Ardnahoe Distillery on the left hand side of the road.
The house itself was constructed 7 years ago to a high standard by local builder Colin Logan Builders, Bowmore, the kit being supplied by HebHomes, who specialise in eco-friendly designs inspired by traditional Hebridean architecture, implementing non-traditional building methods. The house exterior is Larch Clad and the property is constructed using SIP (Structurally Insulated Panels) which consist of two outer layers of OSB board, with a closed-cell insulation sandwiched in-between, and an insulated corrugated steel roof. Due to the non-standard nature of construction, a specialist lender may be required for secured lending over the property. The property has NHBC cover.
Ardnahoe Bothy benefits from a light and airy large open plan lounge/dining area/kitchen, ideal for family life, and four generous double bedrooms. A delightful addition to the property is a traditional Shepherd’s hut situated in the garden grounds, which the current owners let out on a self-catering basis. The Shepherd’s hut is beautifully presented with open plan living space and wc plus shower room. It is included fully furnished, therefore presenting an appealing opportunity for potential purchasers.
The property is heated by means of underfloor heating on both levels, generated by an Air Source Heat Pump, supplemented by a wood burner sitting on a slate hearth on the gable end of the open plan lounge/dining area/kitchen. Fully double glazed throughout, with all windows, tilt and turn French doors and sliding patio doors manufactured by Nordan, to withstand the West of Scotland elements. With the exception of the staircase and upper landing which are carpeted, all flooring throughout is Karndean luxury vinyl wood flooring. The luxury Pro-Norm kitchen features a range of integrated Miele appliances. Externally, the property is surrounded by lovely garden grounds, with parking for 4 cars.
There is a primary school 2 miles away at Keills, together with a hotel, shop and petrol pumps at Port Askaig, approximately 3 miles away. The 2 ferry terminals are located at Port Askaig and Port Ellen (23 miles), and the island’s airport is approximately 20 miles away at Glenegedale, Port Ellen.
