A rare and unique opportunity has arisen to purchase a 160-year-old Blackhouse situated only across from one of Scotland’s most outstanding prehistoric site, the magnificent and world famous Callanish Standing Stones. The Stones are a complex approximately 5000-year-old megalithic monument where many visitors are present throughout the year. The design of the Black House originates back several thousand years as does the constructional methods. The building consists of two concentric dry-stone walls with a gap between them filled with earth or peat. The previous thatched roof was constructed upon a timber frame that can be redeveloped. The frame itself was supported by the inner wall which gave it the characteristic look of a shelf around the outside of the building. A storm in 2010 together with natural deterioration caused the thatched roof to fall. The property has a functional chimney stack and previously held a toilet facility, kitchen, reception, and an open plan sitting area. This immediately impressive and remarkable part of local history is undoubtedly a restoration project to bring the property back to its former glory and offers the potential for alternative uses such as a successful tourist accommodation. Close proximity to the Callanish Stones allows the property to ensure exclusivity. All services available to site and the building has been made safe and secured in preparation for renovation in accordance with listed building consent and building warrant regulations. An Ideal opportunity to renovate and bring the building back to full potential with equal possibility to restore into accommodation for use in the holiday let industry. Grade B listed building.
