LOT 1 – Beinn Alligin
DESCRIPTION
Beinn Alligin is a modern architect designed family home, built to a high standard and designed to comfortably sit in the landscape and take advantage of the stunning south facing views to the sea loch. Built in a traditional style, the house has a white rendered exterior, slate roof, and astragal windows with stone facings, while it benefits from modern building techniques including excellent insulation, double glazing and solar water heating.
The focal point of the house is the welcoming open plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen with double sided wood burning stove, and snug with wood burning stove. While the bedrooms over both floors are bright and comfortable and the generous family bathroom is very well appointed. There is oak flooring and oak doors throughout.

LOT 2 – Croft 8
DESCRIPTION
Croft 8 is a tenanted croft (reference C5731 =C5731) of approximately 7.7 acres lying adjacent to Beinn Alligin. The croft, which extends to the shores of Upper Loch Torridon, comprises extensive native broadleaved woodland and semi-improved grazing/meadow pastures. The c.150m of shoreline creates the opportunity to lay a mooring, subject to the necessary consents. In 2017 there was planning permission in principle granted for the erection of house on the croft, south east of the existing property on Lot 1. This planning permission has since lapsed (Ref: 17/03334/PIP). A stone barn in the croft falls within the Highland Council Settlement Development Area boundary and offers the potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

The National Trust for Scotland is the landlord of the croft and the purchasers of the croft tenancy will have to satisfy the Crofting Commission as to their suitability as tenants. Further information is available from the Crofting Commission
