Modern family home in stunning island setting.
Thorro House presents a very special opportunity to acquire a contemporary residence set against the stunning backdrop of the Scrannabhal and Roineabhal hills on the southeastern coast of Harris.
Constructed in 2005 by the current owners, Thorro House features a high-quality Scotframe structure, offering excellent insulation, double glazing and elegant engineered oak flooring throughout. This modern family home comprises, on the ground floor, a welcoming reception room with fireplace and log burner; a contemporary fitted kitchen with range cooker, island with breakfast bar and adjoining family/TV area; a separate dining room; and three thoughtfully designed bedrooms (one en suite), together with a family bathroom. While the principal living accommodation is located on the ground floor, the expansive first floor provides a highly versatile open-plan office, games room or studio space, along with an additional bedroom, offering excellent potential for reconfiguration, including the creation of a further en suite if desired.
The house sits within easily maintained grounds, which include a charming garden cabin and a practical workshop, ideal for a variety of uses. The setting is both private and scenic, with uninterrupted views of the surrounding hillscape, creating a peaceful and immersive environment.
The sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-appointed modern home in an exceptional Hebridean setting, combining high-quality construction, flexible living space and a truly outstanding natural backdrop, well suited to both permanent living or as a distinctive coastal retreat.

I’ve always felt that Harris is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets- the combination of dramatic landscapes, white sandy beaches and a slower pace of life makes this a truly special place to spend time.
