1 & 2 Beinn Tioraidh, Isle Of Coll, Argyll and Bute, PA78 6TE

Set in a wonderful, rural location and enjoying a desirable southeast-facing aspect, these two charming detached thatched cottages offer a peaceful setting with attractive far-reaching views. Built in traditional stone and thoughtfully refurbished, the cottages present a rare opportunity to acquire a pair of sympathetically modernised homes, each providing well-designed one-bedroom accommodation that blends character with comfort.

Access is taken directly from the main road via a hardcore track suitable for standard vehicles, leading to designated parking situated below the properties. From here, a stepped footpath rises gently to each cottage entrance.

Internally, both properties are arranged to maximise space and functionality, with an open-plan kitchen and living area forming the heart of the home, complemented by a double bedroom and a bathroom. The layout creates a compact yet highly practical living environment, ideal for a range of uses.

Externally, the cottages share a well-maintained grassed garden, enclosed by post and wire fencing, providing a pleasant outdoor area to enjoy the surrounding countryside. A detached timber shed, also shared, is equipped with electricity and currently serves as a useful utility room, offering additional storage and versatility.

It should be noted that the water supply serving 1 & 2 Beinn Tioraidh is sourced from a natural hill supply.

The Isle of Coll is renowned for its rugged natural beauty and abundant wildlife, with species such as corncrakes, geese, wading birds, seals, and otters all commonly found on or around the island. The surrounding waters frequently attract basking sharks, minke whales, and dolphins, making it a particularly appealing location for nature enthusiasts.

Designated as an official ‘Dark Sky’ island, Coll enjoys exceptionally low levels of light pollution and is widely celebrated for its peace and tranquillity.
