A beautiful former croft in the Scottish Highlands has been brought to the market.
Presented for sale by Goldsmith Estates, Barnhill is a delightful cottage and sits within a lovely one acre garden. Sitting in an elevated position within the landscaped grounds the property enjoys stunning views over the pond to the mountains beyond.
The cottage is located on the outskirts of the charming village of Glenelg and is within walking distance of the renowned Glenelg Inn, village shop and local amenities.
Inside Barnhill, which offers lots of space

With a further two bedrooms, cosy sitting room, kitchen/dining room and a downstairs bathroom, there is no shortage of space.

With the holiday letting potential and the possibility of converting the stone outbuilding into additional accommodation, this property has a lot to offer.
Glenelg is a picturesque village which until 200 years ago was the main crossing point to the Isle of Skye. A small ferry still makes the short crossing to Skye and is the only manual turntable commercial ferry in the world. The narrow strait has fierce currents but these make an ideal playground for numerous seals and otters which can easily been seen from the ferry.

It is a memorable drive to the ferry on either side with narrow winding roads reaching an impressive elevation on the mainland. The area around Glenelg is a walker’s paradise. Visitors can explore any or all of the Five Sisters of Kintail and for the really ambitious there is the Cluanie Ridge, which takes in no fewer than seven Munros in one long scenic hike. Alternatively, there is a great opportunity to keep a boat moored in the bay at Glenelg and use it to explore the many secret coves and sandy beaches nearby including Sandaig.
With great diving, sailing and kayaking opportunities, Glenelg is a haven for the intrepid adventurer.
The famous Glenelg Inn, described by Bill Bryson as an ‘outpost of comfort and graciousness’, is a mere half mile amble from the cottage and serves as an ideal pit stop to recharge the batteries after a long day exploring.
