Taigh Tearlach

About this property

This semi-detached, two-bedroom property sits in the village of Kyleakin, on the scenic east coast of the Isle of Skye. Wonderfully presented throughout with off-road parking and enclosed garden, Taigh Tearlach welcomes families of three looking to spend some time exploring the Cuillin mountains and the surrounding countryside. After a day of fell walking, kick back in the lounge and make yourself comfortable on the settee, warming up beside the woodburner and thinking about the next adventure. Move into the kitchen and get to work on a hearty dish, making use of the electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, with a dishwasher to assist with the cleaning up! Venture to the rear enclosed garden and enjoy a seat with a favourite tipple in hand. Back inside, freshen up in the bathroom before heading upstairs and drifting off in either the double or single bedroom. When you’re ready to explore, brush up on your local history with a visit to the Gavin Maxwell Museum and Eilean Ban, home to an exhibition on the remarkable Scotsman and celebrated writer, Gavin Maxwell, before exploring the 14th century Castle Moil located near to the attractive harbour. Head across the bridge to Kyle of Lochalsh, offering a convenience store and a handful of restaurants where you can treat the group to a meal out. One of Scotland's most well-known and visited sites is close by at Eilean Donan Castle, which is positioned at the end of a stone causeway on the banks of Loch Duich. For nature lovers and keen walkers, the Kyle and Lochalsh community parkland is a haven for wildlife and is perfect for a family picnic on the meadows. Escape to Taigh Tearlach and uncover this rural part of Scotland. EPC Rating: Band D. Licence number: HI-30079-F

Once a busy ferry station for passengers arriving on the Isle of Skye, Kyleakin is now a peaceful fishing community with views of the mainland over a small body of water thanks to the Skye Bridge. Kyleakin is home to a thriving local business district, hotels, and the Bright Water Visitor Center, which honours the history and fauna of the area around Eilean Ban, where Gavin Maxwell, a well-known novelist and naturalist best remembered for his book "The Ring of Brightwater," formerly resided. The Skye Bridge now uses the Isle as a stepping stone. From Kyleakin, buses frequently travel over the bridge to the bustling community of Kyle of Lochalsh.
