3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Aird, Uig HS2

4 Westpoint is a charming and unusual wood-clad bungalow, situated in a private position beyond the former RAF camp at Gallan Head, Aird Uig. The property is a 1954 prefabricated house which, according to the current owner, was shipped from Canada by the Ministry of Defence and is believed to be one of only three examples still in residential use. The property has been in the same ownership for over 30 years, during which time considerable effort has been made to preserve and protect the structure, including the installation of a replacement roof system designed to provide long-term weather protection.

The property enjoys panoramic views over dramatic sea cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean. It is an attractive house, with an appealing character, retaining a number of original features, including some of the original internal doors and ironmongery, decorative valances and sections of original v-lined wall panelling. The house offers scope for further modernisation and enhancement.

The accommodation consists of an entrance porch, inner hallway, WC and separate two-piece bathroom suite, three bedrooms, a living room, small dining room and a kitchen with small utility / pantry cupboard.

Externally, the garden plot is a generous 0.24 acres, and includes two outdoor seating areas, and three outbuildings, including a detached garage/workshop with vehicular access and mains electricity supply.

Just along the road is The Edge Cafe; and stunning walks around Gallan Head or down to Aird’s beautiful rocky beach, are right on your doorstep. The surrounding area of Uig is a vibrant community with an amazingly well-stocked community owned shop, community centre, doctors surgery, school and a restaurant with 2 aa rosettes, and countless world-class white sand beaches.
