Island cottage with stylish interior and outstanding views.
Cill a’ Rubha occupies a remarkable position at Uragaig on the northwestern side of the Isle of Colonsay, commanding panoramic views across the sands of Kiloran Bay and the open Atlantic beyond. Set on an ancient raised beach platform approximately 100 feet above sea level, the house enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape towards Sgibinis and Balnahard, with distant outlooks to the Ross of Mull, the Torran Rocks and Dubh Hirteach Lighthouse.
Cill a’ Rubha is a modern, purpose-built cottage designed to take full advantage of its spectacular setting and as as such the property is filled with natural light. Extending to approximately 2,082 sq ft and arranged over three levels, 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 into a hall on the ground floor with a WC positioned nearby. The principal living space is an impressive open-plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen, extending across the rear of the house and arranged to maximise the outstanding coastal views. This bright and generous room benefits from large windows and doors opening directly onto an expansive balcony, which wraps around the rear elevation and provides an exceptional vantage point over Kiloran Bay, offering both sun and shelter throughout the day. Also on the ground floor is a further reception room, providing a more private sitting or study space.
A spiral staircase rises from the main living area to the first floor where there are two spacious bedrooms. Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 both feature fitted wardrobes and dormer windows framing the views. These rooms are served by a bathroom, together with a useful store.
From the ground floor a staircase descends to the lower ground floor, where there is a large games room, a utility room with laundry facilities and a shower room. A substantial cellar provides excellent additional storage.
Externally, a generous garden has been carefully managed to encourage native wildflowers, reflecting the ecological richness of the surrounding landscape. This natural setting can also be enjoyed from the open-air verandah created by the elevated balcony. The property benefits from ample parking space and an EV charger.

What struck me most about Cill a’ Rubha was the moment the view opened out over Kiloran Bay - the panorama is simply unforgettable.
