Lots of easy cycling miles on quiet side roads towards the sea and challenging tracks up into the nearby woods. Kilmartin Primary School is just down the back path through the trees.

    The accommodation on the ground floor comprises an entrance hallway that leads into the delightful South facing open plan living room with wooden floor, astragal sash window with a window seat a fireplace with woodburner and a kitchen off which has traditional wood cabinets and integral appliances. A half glass door leads onto a gravelled sitting area and on into the front garden overlooking the hamlet. On the upper floor there are two double bedrooms with fireplaces and a bathroom.

There is a log cabin/studio within the garden which comprises an open plan sitting room, fitted kitchen and shower room all with underfloor heating, and a bunk space on the upper level facing on to sheep pasture and over towards the ancient linear cemeteries in the valley below. The property has a parking space to the left hand side of the Terrace as you come up from the hamlet as well as space in the yard.
