NEW TO MARKET OFFERS OVER £120k

SUMMER may be over but it gives a head start to those thinking of investing in a holiday home or letting investment for future summers … and The Bothy, on the scenic Isle of Jura, could be a prime candidate. Situated in the hamlet of Knockrome on the island’s west coast, a wild landscape renowned for its sea views, beaches, caves and wildlife (the island’s population of 200 is outnumbered by deer), the characterful stone-built property has a modern interior, making it suitable as a year-round family home.

The 23ft open-plan living/dining/kitchen area has solid wood flooring, an open fireplace and a high wood-clad ceiling. On the ground floor are a family bathroom and two bedrooms, the largest of which has an en-suite shower room. Upstairs is a 20ft attic room – currently used as a children’s playroom – and additional storage.

Set in almost half an acre of grounds, the cottage has a small garden to the front, overlooking the sea, plus a yard with a woodshed and parking.

A cosy home with oil-fired heating, private water supply and internet connection, The Bothy is three miles from Craighouse, which has a shop, bistro, hotel and primary school. The famous Paps of Jura are the main attraction for walkers – and George Orwell penned Nineteen Eighty-Four on the island. Bell Ingram in Oban is asking for offers over £120,000.

A THREE bedroomed luxury apartment newly on the market in the iconic Parklands Oval in Crookston is available now, unfurnished, for long-term rent at £850 per month. Set within extensive communal gardens, Parklands Oval offers excellent road and rail transport links – the building also has residents parking and security entry system. Internally, the first floor apartment comprises reception hall, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area – the latter fully fitted to include a central island/breakfast bar – master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms (both with fitted storage) and family bathroom with over-bath shower. Details are available from Clyde Property’s Clarkston office.
