5 bedroom detached house for sale

The beautiful Sleat peninsula is located in the south of Skye and is known as the Garden of Skye due to its abundance of trees that are largely absent in other areas on the island. The area is popular due to its spectacular scenery, the variety of walks in the area, its wildlife and its proximity to the Skye Bridge and the mainland. Access to the area has been improved with the completion of the double track road from Skulamus to Ardvasar in Spring 2005. There is also a regular all year ferry service from Mallaig to Armadale. Rail links to Inverness and Glasgow are available from Kyle of Lochalsh and Mallaig. Ardvasar is situated just a short drive from the Ferry terminal for the Armadale-Mallaig ferry. Facilities within the village itself include a small hotel and shop and in the wider surrounding area you will find a primary school, filling station, with post office and a number of craft outlets. Further facilities are available in both Broadford and Kyle of Lochalsh and a secondary school is located in Portree in the north of the island.

Homeleigh is an attractive detached property situated within the village of Ardvasar. Operated by the current owners as a B & B, the property is ideally located to take advantage of passing trade and since the current owners purchased the property approximately 3 years ago they have attracted a significant amount of repeat business. The accommodation within the property is spread over two floors with the owners utilising one of the bedrooms on the ground floor for themselves and letting out the three en-suite bedrooms for visitors. The property has been decorated to a high standard throughout with much attention to detail in the guest rooms, each of which has Sky TV, hospitality tray, hairdryers etc for the guests. Whilst the owners use the lounge and dining room themselves, their guests have the use of the conservatory with its wonderful views towards the mountains of Knoydart. People wishing to book a room at the B & B are able to do so on line by visiting the owners’ website at or simply by telephoning them directly. Although Homeleigh is currently operated as a B & B it would be equally suitable for those who are simply looking for a large family home.
