There are some properties that require little imagination to see how you could live there.
But these ‘ready to move into’ homes don’t suit everyone. Some people, and I am one of them, like a challenge and the chance to put my stamp on a house.
I also like the idea of creating a new chapter in the life of a historic home. And that’s exactly what the new owners of this amazing Highland cottage will get if they pay the £125,000 asking price.
Bourblach Cottage is a unique and impressive home that is found in an equally one of a kind and superb setting.
Sitting in an elevated position near the banks of the River Morar, the cottage is 300 years old. From there, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
It will take someone with the vision to see how great this home could be. After some major renovation and modernisation, Bourblach Cottage could be the perfect rental home or Highland getaway.
While it does already have mains power, there is no internal plumbing – i.e. no bathroom – so included in the work needed would be the addition of mains water and drainage.
Inside there is a L-shaped living room with windows at the front and side – where you can sit and enjoy the picturesque views – and a cosy open fire for those colder months. There is also a built-in cupboard.
The bedroom has a similar L-shape, with windows at the front and side. Again there is an open fire and there is also a fitted window seat.
An entrance hallway leading you to the living area and bedroom completes what the home currently has.
Peacefully situated on the outskirts of Morar, widely regarded as one of the most scenic villages in the Western Highlands, the cottage is ideally placed from which to explore this extremely attractive part of Scotland.
An area of natural rugged beauty and abundant wildlife, the sale of this building offers the successful purchaser access to an excellent lifestyle choice.
The village itself has an hotel, primary school, church, with further facilities being available at Mallaig and Fort William – to which there is a link by both road and rail.
