Edinburgh property: Inside the coastal three bedroom house cheaper than a city flat

A three-bedroom home on the Isle of Lewis has gone on the market for a lower price than a typical one-bedroom Edinburgh flat.

The property, available for offers over £105,000, is on School Brae in North Shawbost, a large village on the West Side of the Isle. It includes a school, community centre, beach, and Harris Tweed mill.

The village has a population of approximately 500 and is around 20 miles west of Lewis's capital Stornoway. It could offer a perfect retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

The listing states: "We bring to the market this traditionally built detached three-bedroom property located on the Atlantic west coast of Lewis, some 16 miles from Stornoway. The deceptively spacious family accommodation has been freshly re-decorated including some new floor coverings.

"This typical crofting township is in close proximity to many archaeological sites of interest, white sand and pebble stone beaches and situated adjacent to the school, community centre and fitness suite with swimming pool facilities.

"Accommodation comprises ground floor kitchen/ diner, lounge, porch, utility, bathroom, bedroom, inner hall and stairway. First Floor comprises two bedrooms and top landing."

It continues: "Fitted floor and wall units with integrated stainless-steel sink, hob, oven and extractor fan. Space for fridge and built in cupboard housing oil boiler.

The kitchen features wood panelling (Western Isles Properties)

"Lounge has a focal open marble fireplace. Bathroom has a three-piece bathroom suite with shower mixer tap facility.

"Utility porch leads to inner hall and onto stairway. Ground floor bedroom is very spacious.

The living room has plenty of room for entertaining (Western Isles Properties)

The kitchen-slash-diner on the ground floor comes with fitted units, with integrated stainless-steel sink, four-ring electric hob, electric oven, and extractor hood, as well as space for a fridge. There is also one double radiator and fitted vinyl flooring.
