Location:

The residential/crofting area of Harrapool sits on the outskirts of Broadford, the island’s second largest settlement, in the shadow of Beinn na Caillich (one of the Red Cuillins) on a beautiful, curved bay, with views over to the islands of Longay, Pabay and the Crowlins and out towards the hills of Wester Ross beyond. The village is only 7 miles north of the Skye Bridge and is an ideal base for hill walking, bird-watching and other outdoor activities, with two piers ideal for mooring a boat. Broadford also benefits from a good range of local amenities.

Accommodation:

Lion House is a detached one-and-a-half-storey property built circa 1970, extending to approximately 152m². The property benefits from double-glazed windows and doors, predominantly of uPVC construction. Heating is provided by an oil-fired Grant Vortex combination boiler serving radiators throughout the property and is supplemented by a multi-fuel stove in the lounge. The boiler was serviced in June 2025.

The Old Presbyterian Church was built around 1880 and is available by separate negotiation, should prospective buyers have an interest in purchasing the converted Church as well. The parking bay in front of Lion House belongs to the apartments located in the converted Church.
