With no phone, no TV, no fridge and no internet, stepping through the front door of artist Tom Hickman’s restored island croft is like taking a giant leap back in time.
Jam-packed with quirky antiques and historic artefacts, the property in New Tolsta, 12 miles from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, is one of the most beguiling and unique houses ever to feature on Scotland’s Home of the Year.
The 1930s croft is Tom’s haven from the modern world where he can create his art undisturbed.
