CKD Galbraith Reay House 17 Old Edinburgh Road Inverness IV2 3HF 01463 224343 [email protected] GENERAL No 8-11 Badralloch is set in the scattered crofting township of Badralloch on the north shores of Little Loch Broom on the west coast of Scotland. This unspoilt and traditional hamlet is reached by a single track road which passes through the parkland of Dundonnell Estate from where it climbs to higher ground giving magnificent views of the peninsula before dropping down to the fertile land of Badralloch.

Formerly a croft cottage, the property has been decrofted and extended and, although now in need of modernisation, offers the opportunity to acquire a traditional cottage in a spectacular setting. The mature grounds provide a wonderful backdrop for the cottage and are planted with coastal loving specimen shrubs and trees while timber bridges across the natural burns on the boundaries lead to the surrounding grazing land and the shores of the loch. Ideal as a second home or holiday let, the cottage retains many original features such as exposed beams and stone fireplaces, and the potential exists to create further accommodation in the generous floored loft area above the family room. In addition, to the west of the cottage is a stone and corrugated iron barn which is currently used as a general store but has the potential, subject to the necessary consents, for conversion to a residential property. The vendors have received a favourable pre-application assessment in relation to this and further information is available on request.

The west coast of Scotland is known for its mild climate and stunning coastline with sheltered sandy beaches and island views. The unspoilt countryside and traditional communities make this area popular with those seeking a change of lifestyle or a second home and 8-11 Badralloch is an excellent base from which to enjoy this region. The coast is famous for its sailing, while inland, mountains and moorlands offer spectacular scenery, hill walking, climbing and trout fishing on the hill lochs. A coastal path leads from the cottage along the lochside as far as the peninsula and Little Loch Broom is popular with divers for its clear waters and rich marine life.

DESCRIPTION The property is approached off the single track public road. There is pedestrian access from the main road via steps and a path from the north boundary.

GARDEN GROUNDS The grounds at Badralloch extend to approximately 1 acre and are fringed by mature woodland and shrubs with narrow burns that flow in to Little Loch Broom. To the front of the cottage is an area of rough grass which slopes down to the boundary fence. The raised garden to the rear is now overgrown, but still retains its framework of specimen trees and shrubs with mixed borders and vegetable beds. From the main drive, a track crosses a small burn and leads to the stone and corrugated iron barn set in an area of mature native woodland.

OUTBUILDINGS To the west of the cottage and with its own access is a stone and corrugated iron barn, currently used for storage. A favourable pre-application assessment – PLANNING REFERENCE 14/0632/PREAPP - has been received from the local planning authority with a summary stating that an application to develop the site is likely to be supported as long as all issues are fully addressed.
