Farmhouse on Scottish island with 'untapped potential' on sale for just £250k
Farmhouse on Scottish island on sale for £250k

Cranslagmory Farmhouse, a three-bedroom home on the Isle of Bute, has been listed for sale with offers over £250,000. The sellers describe it as "an excellent platform from which to create a highly individual country home".

The property sits near the village of Port Bannatyne in a rural setting surrounded by rolling countryside. It is being marketed through estate agents Savills.

Accommodation and grounds

The farmhouse includes a living room, a dining kitchen, a utility room, a toilet, and three double bedrooms with en-suite facilities. The outdoor space covers 4.67 acres in total, including garden grounds around the main house.

Also included in the sale are various outbuildings, such as two large byres and two loose boxes, which Savills describes as "useful". The property would benefit from some upgrades and improvements, with the sellers noting its "untapped potential".

Local amenities and transport

Port Bannatyne offers a primary school, a bistro, an artisan bakery, a community pub, a gallery, and a golf course. The island's main town of Rothesay is about five minutes away by car and provides a larger selection of services.

Property agent Iona Conn commented: "The real attraction of Cranslagmory Farmhouse lies in its untapped potential. Opportunities to acquire a traditional farmhouse with a useful range of agricultural buildings and acreage are increasingly scarce, and this property offers an excellent platform from which to create a highly individual country home in a sought-after island setting."
