Welcome to 17C Craft Village, Balnakeil, Durness a truly unique and exciting opportunity awaits you. Originally purchased as a larger detached unit, the current owners have transformed this property into a lucrative and popular cafe, complemented by a beautifully refurbished 3-bedroom semi-detached owner accommodation.
The semi-detached house section of the building has undergone a complete renovation, with meticulous attention to detail. Stripped down to the bare shell, it now features new stud work, joists, and floors. The roof is insulated with 150mm of Kingspan, while the walls boast 75mm of insulation, and the floor benefits from 50mm of Cooltherm insulation. A full rewire has been completed, along with the installation of a modern plumbing system with separate zones for the house and cafe. The house is further enhanced by the addition of new PVC windows and doors. Inside, corridors are adorned with oak doors and oak hardwood flooring, while the bathroom showcases natural slate flooring, and the living spaces are finished with 12mm laminate.
