An extremely exciting and rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a Letting property known as a Bothy. Historically the Bothy culture embodied the lifestyle of many outdoor enthusiasts, a small shelter scattered across rural areas of Scotland offering shelter for those passing through sharing experiences and a place of sanctuary. The passion for such facilities still exists but owners are now providing a much higher level of accommodation incorporating toilets and showers, better sleeping arrangements and a form of heating. Uig sits around an inlet on the West Coast of Lewis and offers a range of refreshing opportunities and activities for those who come to explore. With its stretches of Atlantic coast bordered by windswept shifting sand dunes, pristine golden sandy beaches and dramatic hillsides, this enviable location never fails to impress irrespective of weather conditions making it a very popular area for visitors. The property occupies a stunning flexible site looking over the breath taking scenic beauty of Loch Roag on the Valtos peninsula. Character and charm are the hallmarks of this desirable quirky property which has managed to retain an appealing cosy ambience endorsed by original exposed stone walls, exposed beams within a vaulted ceiling, multi fuel cast iron stove with a stainless steel flue pipe, open plan layout , small mezzanine loft space and dining area patio doors looking over spectacular views. There is significant potential to upgrade or extend the existing property as it sits on a site of 185 sqm with the seller possibly willing to sell a bit more land as he is the tenant of the adjacent croft. However we would suggest that any upgrades or extension should be viewed sympathetically to the original features of the property. The existing accommodation comprises open plan kitchen/diner and living space/ sleeping space with a floor area of 5.70m x 3.33m. In addition to the cast iron multi fuel stove the open plan space also has a sink, some cupboards, storage area, mezzanine loft space, painted concrete floor, 2 windows and patio doors. Enclosed shower room with a 2 piece toilet suite measuring 1.96m x 1.59m. Local amenities include easy reach of the bone white Reef beach and other neighbouring beaches and breath-taking scenery, community shop, post office, school, community centre, churches, local historical landmarks and sites of archaeological interest are in fairly close proximity.
