A charming coastal home with far reaching sea views to Knoydart.
Set in an exceptional elevated position on the Sleat peninsula, Ladhar Bheinn is a charming coastal home that makes the most of its dramatic Isle of Skye setting. The property is thoughtfully positioned to command far-reaching views across open water to its namesake Ladhar Bheinn, the highest mountain peak in the Knoydart peninsula.
The house offers generous, flexible accommodation across two floors, complemented by a detached studio, garage and shed. The accommodation is entered via a central vestibule which opens into a welcoming sitting room, an inviting principal reception space arranged around a central open fireplace with timber surround, creating a lovely natural focal point at the heart of the home.
Located to one side is a formal dining room, which in turn opens into a bright sunroom extending across the front of the property. The sunroom is a thoughtful addition to the house, created by the current owners to maximise the spectacular outlook and provide a peaceful, light filled space from which to admire the ever changing views across the coastline.
The breakfasting kitchen is a warm and characterful space, fitted with handcrafted timber cabinetry, generous storage, open shelving and a classic range cooker. A useful utility area lies off the kitchen and benefits from direct external access.
The ground floor further provides two spacious double bedrooms, one served by an en suite shower room and the other with access to a separate bathroom. On the first floor are two further en suite double bedrooms, along with an additional sitting room offering excellent flexibility as a study, home office, playroom or occasional bedroom.
In addition to the main house, the property is enhanced by a detached studio set in an elevated position behind the house to take full advantage of the setting. The studio provides open plan living and sleeping accommodation with kitchenette facilities, a separate shower room and access to a decked area, making it ideal for guest accommodation, home working or ancillary use. The property was formerly run as a successful B&B by previous owners and would easily lend itself to this configuration again.
A detached stone built garage provides further useful storage. The gardens are well maintained and predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a generous gravelled parking area and driveway.

What stood out to me about Ladhar Bheinn was both the setting and the flexibility, it’s a lovely well proportioned home with a useful separate studio in a strong coastal location.
