3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Isle Of Lewis HS2

Set within extensive mature grounds and tucked away from the main road, 119 Newmarket is a charming and surprisingly secluded three-bedroom detached bungalow offering a rare combination of privacy, character and convenience. Approached via a private driveway and surrounded by established trees and shrubs, this hidden gem enjoys a wonderfully private setting while remaining within easy reach of Stornoway town centre, local amenities and transport links.

Lovingly built by the previous owners and having changed hands only once since construction, the property has been exceptionally well cared for and retains a wealth of original features that add warmth and character throughout. The welcoming accommodation comprises a utility room/scullery, kitchen/diner, spacious living room with multi-fuel stove, inner hallway, front porch, three bedrooms, bathroom and a generous floored attic space, offering excellent storage and potential for a variety of uses. Benefiting from oil-fired central heating, excellent insulation and well-maintained interiors, the property provides a comfortable family home in genuine walk-in condition.

A standout feature of 119 Newmarket is its impressive outdoor space. The beautifully maintained gardens have been thoughtfully designed for ease of upkeep and extend far beyond the immediate house grounds, creating a wonderful sense of seclusion rarely found so close to town. Extensive parking and turning areas are complemented by a substantial detached workshop with power supply and fitted workbenches, a timber shed, polycarbonate growing tunnel and established composting area. The workshop was formerly used as a vehicular garage and could be returned to that use if desired, while a hardstanding area to the front previously accommodated a holiday chalet.

The sheltered canopy to the rear of the house provides a practical and versatile outdoor area, offering space for bicycles, a clothes pulley and a comfortable seating area where the surrounding gardens can be enjoyed throughout the year. Beyond the main garden lies an additional area of land bordered by mature trees and shrubs, further enhancing privacy while also providing access to the track leading directly to the scenic Blackwater riverside walkway towards Tong.

Combining a peaceful setting, substantial grounds, useful outbuildings and direct access to outdoor recreation, 119 Newmarket presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home with land and facilities seldom available within two miles of Stornoway town centre. The nearby Newmarket play park further enhances the property’s appeal for families, making this an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a highly convenient location.
