KEYS TO KNOW

Where is it: Leim Farm, Isle of Gigha, Argyll. What is it: A restored and extended traditional coastal property, set close to a beach and an airstrip, with six bedrooms, five public rooms and a swimming pool, sauna, gym and home cinema. Good points: It has undergone an upgrading and is in tip top order. The views are spectacular, and being just about the most southerly house on the island, there must be a feeling of being lord of all you survey. Planning permission for two cottages. Bad points: It is a big house to fill for a family but would work very well as a holiday home or B&B. Price: Offers over £775,000. Contact: Strutt & Parker on 0131 225 2600.
