21 Habost is a beautifully renovated traditional Hebridean cottage that combines island heritage with contemporary comfort. Originally built in 1903 by Donald Morrison as a confectionery shop for his wife, Liza, the property has been part of the Habost community for more than a century. Following a comprehensive renovation in 2023, it now offers stylish, low-maintenance accommodation finished to an exceptional standard while retaining its unique character and charm. Presented in walk-in condition, the property features bright and welcoming accommodation enhanced by vaulted ceilings and triple-glazed, electrically operated Velux roof windows that flood the interior with natural light. The well-designed layout makes excellent use of the available space and includes a contemporary Howdens Witney Shaker kitchen with integrated appliances, an open-plan living and dining area, a modern shower room with rainfall shower, and a spacious king-sized bedroom. Heating is provided by Ecostrad Allora IQ Wi-Fi enabled designer electric radiators and a matching heated towel rail. Currently operating as a successful and fully licensed holiday let, 21 Habost represents an excellent lifestyle, investment, or business opportunity. The existing short-term letting licence is available for transfer, and all fixtures, fittings, furnishings, crockery, bedding, and consumables are included within the sale, allowing new owners to continue trading immediately or simply move straight in. The property achieves an EPC Rating of C. Externally, the cottage benefits from generous off-road parking, with a chipped driveway, additional parking area, and paved roadside frontage providing ample space for vehicles. To the rear, a fully enclosed outdoor seating area has been created with high-quality windbreak fencing, offering a private and sheltered space for relaxation and outdoor dining throughout the year. The area also incorporates attractive planters, storage facilities, secure bin storage, exterior lighting, and an outdoor water tap.
