On approximately 1/4 acre of de-crofted freehold land, there is a sheltered safe chicken run with houses for up to 30 free range birds. A small vegetable patch could easily be extended by a keen gardener to give family self sufficiency.
None of this impacts on the garden grounds of the property which include a lawn area, patio for barbecues, pretty shrubs and picturesque burn with two wooden bridges.
The open plan front drive has been landscaped in the theme of a local beach and gives loads of parking space along with two small turf roofed traditional black house style peat storage sheds, all adding to the feel of a sea side crofting life.
Inside, the single story property has two full double bedrooms with built in wardrobes, open plan tiled kitchen/dining room, tiled hallway, bathroom, and spacious lounge. A loft conversion, done most likely in the 1960's, is set up as a double bedroom and has been used as such for many years on and off by previous owners. Although it does not comply with current building regulations, it is a light, airy, well insulated space. Outside this converted area, the loft has large areas of useful semi floored storage space.
There is ample scope for updating the loft conversion and extending the property.
