Island home overlooking Port Mór with spectacular views.
Longfield occupies a superb position on the west coast of the Isle of Colonsay, overlooking Port Mór and the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Set beneath the slopes of Meall a’ Chaise, the house enjoys uninterrupted coastal views and spectacular evening sunsets across the water. The setting offers dramatic scenery while remaining within easy reach of island walks, beaches and the harbour village of Scalasaig. Longfield offers exceptional access to some of the island’s most scenic landscapes and there are excellent walks along the sea cliffs and across the inland hills, while nearby Loch Fada offers trout fishing. The coastal area of Ardskenish provides dramatic scenery and is home to colonies of Atlantic grey seals. The surrounding landscape supports a wide variety of wildlife including barnacle geese, guillemots, corncrakes, herons, peregrine falcon and chough, making the area particularly appealing for nature enthusiasts.
Longfield is a well-proportioned three-bedroom house extending to approximately 1,605 sq ft and arranged over two floors. The accommodation is thoughtfully laid out, providing flexible family living with the added benefit of a ground floor bedroom suite, ideal for guests or multi-generational occupation. The property offers exceptional flexibility of use, ideally suited to full-time residential occupation, private family enjoyment as a second home, or commercial operation as a self-catering holiday let on a year-round basis.
The house is entered via a vestibule leading into a central hall. The sitting room is a generous reception space positioned to the west of the house, with large windows framing the stunning sea views and sunsets over the Atlantic. The dining room lies adjacent and provides an excellent space for family dining and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances including an electric induction hob, double electric oven, microwave, fridge, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A utility room and separate WC are located nearby, providing practical day-to-day functionality. Also on the ground floor is a comfortable double bedroom with en suite shower room, offering particularly convenient single-level accommodation. Stairs rise to the first floor where there are two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom, together with a useful store room providing additional storage.
Longfield is set within a peaceful setting with an extensive grassy paddock to the front of the house which enhances the open aspect and far-reaching sea views. To the rear is a secluded walled garden, sheltered and well positioned to capture the warmth of the evening sun. A detached garage provides additional storage for vehicles and outdoor equipment.

What I love most about Longfield is the way it sits quietly beneath the hillside, looking out over Port Mór. The sunsets here are unforgettable.
