Occupying an outstanding elevated position, a stone's throw from the stunning
beach at Balephetrish Bay, and enjoying extensive, uninterrupted sea views
towards the Small Isles, the sale of Katie's Cottage forms a most attractive,
traditional detached dwellinghouse, set in generous garden grounds. Believed
to date back to around 1920, the property originally formed the farm house for
the neighbouring croft, and has been extensively and sympathetically renovated
over the years by the current owners. Located in a spectacular area of
Kenovay, a quiet residential and crofting township, the sale offers a very
rare and unique opportunity to purchase a coastal home on the 'Sunshine Isle'
of Tiree. Boasting many premium features including superb insulation,
resulting in an enviable low energy performance rating, an architect - designed,
larch - clad sun lounge with fully glazed sliding doors and marble flooring, a
large semi - open plan dual - aspect lounge with hardwood cedar flooring and an
Italian marble fireplace, double glazing with modern sash and case windows to
the ground floor, a Nest heat - link central heating system, a designer Italian
Arke staircase, and ground mounted solar photo voltaic array, to name but a
few. In excellent order and beautifully presented, this now - modern cottage
would be ideally suited as a permanent home, as an idyllic holiday retreat or
as an investment opportunity in a very buoyant self - catering market.
The Isle of Tiree is the most westerly of the Inner Hebrides. Relatively small
and very flat with only three small hills and no woodland, the island is
approx. 12 miles long by 3 miles wide. Known as the 'Sunshine Isle', Tiree
benefits from the warm Gulf Stream and enjoys a mild climate with some of the
highest levels of sunshine in the British Isles. Famed for it's beautiful
beaches, the island is host to the annual Tiree Wave Classic which attracts
some of the worlds best surfers, and the ever - popular Tiree Music Festival,
which attracts tourists in abundance. There is also a doctor's surgery,
veterinary surgery and garage on the island. The journey from Oban takes
around 3. 5 hours by boat, with regular flights available from Glasgow and
Connel airports taking approximately one hour.

Garden
The property benefits from garden grounds to both the front and rear, with
parking available to the front and side. The front garden is laid to lawn, and
features a superb paved patio area, taking in the best of the sea views. The
enclosed rear garden is also laid to lawn, offset with a raised wooden decking
area and a charming vegetable garden. Katie's Cottage has the added benefit of
a workshop, and shipping container to the side. The ground mounted solar
panels are also located to the side of the property.
Ground Mounted Solar Photo Voltaic Array
This provides a regular income through the feed in tariff scheme (fits). The
revenue from the fits payment is currently paid quarterly, is index linked,
has a further fifteen years of the twenty five year contract to run, and is
fully transferable to the new owner of the property. The solar array also
provides ancillary power to the premises, and any power consumed within the
premises also attracts an additional fits payment. Overall energy costs for
the property are therefore considerably reduced by the solar pv panels output.
Travel Directions
From the pier, proceed along Pier Road for half a mile, turning right at the
junction on to the B8068 road, and continue on this road for around 4 miles.
Do not turn left to Kenovay, instead continue ahead slightly until the road
splits in a 'Y'. Take the right hand track along to the property, which is
located first on the left.
