Set on Scotland's wild west coast, this architect-designed cottage offers a unique escape inspired by the natural curves of a seashell. Nestled on the banks of Loch Sunart, it provides a secluded retreat where you can immerse yourself in the stunning local scenery. Spend your days exploring the breathtaking landscapes, indulging in long walks with marvellous views, and return to the comfort of your cottage to unwind by the open fire.
Step inside this harmonious hideaway, where the interior seamlessly blends with the surrounding woodlands through its turf roof and walls of local timber and stone. The open-plan living and sleeping space is bathed in natural light, thanks to the south-facing windows that follow the cottage's curved design. Relax in the lounge area with its comfortable armchairs and sofa, perfect for curling up with a book. The open fire and underfloor heating ensure warmth even on the coldest Highland days. The kitchen and dining area, complete with a table for two by the window, invites you to enjoy cosy meals. A double bed offers a restful night's sleep, while a spa bath adds a touch of romance. The separate bathroom features a rainfall shower and WC. Outside, the terrace with views over the loch is furnished with outdoor seating and a stone-built BBQ, ideal for al fresco dining in the summer months.
