5 Minish is a traditional two bedroom former croft house which has been
extended over the years to include a self contained granny annex.
The original house is built of stone and had a thatched roof when it was
built. This has been replaced with a slate roof and a kitchen extension was
added to the rear and a bathroom extension to the front. A further self
contained two storey granny annex was also added and this has been used as a
holiday let in more recent times.
5 Minish is accessed via a croft access track taken from the township road. It
is set in an idyllic location right on the loch side with water on three
sides.
The property must be viewed to appreciate the location.
