House For Sale £125,000
We are delighted to offer to auction this assignation of croft tenancy, complete with a four bedroom detached bungalow, enjoying idyllic location in the scattered rural settlement of Sponish on the outskirts of the village of Lochmaddy, North Uist.
The bungalow offers spacious accommodation comprising lounge, kitchen/diner, four bedrooms, wet room and rear entrance porch. With the croft extending to approximately 16.7 hectares (41.2 acres) including areas of forestry, peat production and with borders onto Loch na Buaile and a number of other bodies of water offering the possibility of seaweed harvesting. Further benefits include oil fired heating system, double glazing, a block built store/workshop, small polytunnel/greenhouse and solar panel installation.
We understand that an annual rental of £14 per annum is payable to the landlord - North Uist Estate Trust – and that a local rental arrangement of approximately £150 per annum is in place to allow for sheep grazing on the croft. Both these sums and arrangements should be clarified as part of a buyer’s due diligence.
