Location

The Isle of Harris is part of the Outer Hebrides, an archipelago off the west coast of mainland Scotland.   Accessible by ferry from the port of Uig on the Isle of Skye (which can be reached by road bridge) and the mainland port of Ullapool or via flights to Stornoway (45 miles), Harris is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, including rugged mountains, rolling moorlands and stunning beaches.   Luskentyre and Seilebost are particularly renowned for their white sands and turquoise waters. Harris is the home of the world-famous Harris Tweed, a handwoven luxury fabric which is still produced on the island today.   Harris offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and wildlife watching, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts. The nearby village of Tarbert (9 miles) serves as a gateway between the islands of Harris and Lewis, and offers essential services such as a post office, bank, small shop and medical facilities. Tarbert also hosts one of the main ferry terminals on the island with regular services to Uig on the Isle of Skye.

Description

Thorro House and Rodel Valley Cabins present a very special opportunity to own a contemporary residence alongside a well-established holiday letting business, set against the stunning backdrop of the Scrannabhal and Roineabhal hills on the southeastern coast of Harris.

Constructed in 2005 by the current owners, Thorro House features a high-quality Scotframe structure, complete with excellent insulation, double glazing and elegant engineered oak flooring. This modern family home comprises on the ground floor a welcoming reception room with fireplace and log burner; contemporary fitted kitchen with range cooker, island with breakfast bar and family/TV area; a dining room and three thoughtfully designed bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom. While the main living accommodation is located on the ground floor, the expansive first floor offers a versatile open-plan office/games room/studio and an additional bedroom, with potential for reconfiguration to incorporate an en suite. The house is situated within just over half an acre of easily maintained grounds which also feature a charming garden cabin and a practical workshop.

The on-site eco-friendly holiday cabins, aptly named Roineabhal and Scrannabhal after the stunning backdrop, are both stylishly appointed, each with an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, two bedrooms, wood-burning stove, sauna, Jacuzzi, and Bose sound system, ensuring a luxurious experience for guests, whichever cabin is booked.

The sale of this property represents a hugely appealing opportunity in one of Scotland's most picturesque settings, combining as it does an attractive main home full of modern comforts, with a ready-made business.
