Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Incredible and rare Opportunity to Own Part of the Beautiful Isle of Skye
  • Potential for Use as Holiday Cabin in Gorgeous Island Village
  • Stunning Views
FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION THURSDAY 5TH OCTOBER AT 9.00AM. Former telephone exchange on the picturesque Isle of Skye, located on the coastal road from Portree to Edinbane with stunning sea views. Incredible opportunity for a characterful holiday let (STP) on one of Scotland's most famous isles.

Online Property Auctions Scotland are delighted to present this rare and fantastic opportunity to purchase part of the island of Skye, in the form of a decommissioned telephone exchange. Circa 555 sq ft (including grounds).

The property is of brick construction, and requires a degree of renovation work. Internal pictures to follow. There is potential to use the property as an unconventional holiday let/cabin (STP). This would be the ideal building for a holiday bolt hole or cosy island retreat, and would make a desirable picturesque holiday let/AirBnB, subject to planning permission.

The exchange measures 2.4m wide and 4.5m long.

Edinbane is a village in the north-east of Skye, roughly 13 miles from Skye's largest town, Portree, which is a popular tourist destination attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. A December 2018 report recommended Portree as "Skye's best home base" for visitors", since it has "a few hotels, hostels and bed-and-breakfasts in town, while more B&Bs line the roads into and out of town". Edinbane itself offers multiple amenities, including restaurants, a hotel, and characterful shops selling pottery and sheepskin and wool products. Skye is the largest of the Inner Hebrides, and one of Scotland's most popular islands, accessible by ferry or by the Skye bridge which joins onto the mainland.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on September 1, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
