Rowan Cottage is a charming, traditional cottage which has been extended to provide comfortable family accommodation. The property is tastefully decorated throughout and has been very well maintained. It is fully double glazed. Accessed via a footpath from the parking area, Rowan Cottage is a charming traditional property believed to date from the 1880s and thought to have originally served as a shepherd's cottage on the former Macleod Estate. Over the years it has been sympathetically upgraded and extended, while retaining much of its original character and appeal. Entering through the front conservatory, which enjoys lovely views over the surrounding landscape, a door opens into the central hallway. From here, doors lead to the principal rooms of the original cottage. The hallway retains the cottage's traditional character with natural slate flooring, painted tongue and groove wall finishes and exposed timber detailing. To one side is a comfortable double bedroom, a bright and welcoming room featuring exposed ceiling joists and traditional cottage finishes. The family bathroom is also located off the hall and is fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC, together with a useful laundry cupboard. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and sitting room. This characterful space benefits from a vaulted ceiling, an exposed stone gable wall and a multi-fuel stove which creates a cosy focal point. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units with granite effect worksurface. There is a built-in electric oven with four ring hob, and there is ample space for dining and relaxation while enjoying views of the surrounding scenery. A doorway through the original gable wall leads into the extension, where a second double bedroom provides generous accommodation. This attractive room features a vaulted ceiling, oak flooring and French doors opening to the garden. The bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a corner bath, wash hand basin and WC. A further door leads to the rear conservatory, creating an ideal spot to sit and appreciate the peaceful setting. Outside, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful grounds extending to approximately 0.408 of an acre and enjoys an exceptional setting with uninterrupted views towards the Black Cuillin mountains and the sea. There is an orchard which is planted with Heritage variety fruit trees. The location offers a remarkable sense of peace and seclusion, with abundant wildlife regularly seen in the area. Further features include a useful utility and storage area, a substantial detached outbuilding and a number of significant improvements carried out by the current owner, including a replacement roof, upgraded septic tank and soakaway, and the installation of a water collection and treatment system. Rowan Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Highland home in a truly spectacular Skye location. *
