FOR SALE TATTIE HOUSE, ISLE OF RUM Offers over £40,000 The Tattie House is situated on the north side of Kinloch Village, Isle of Rum and enjoys a slightly elevated southerly exposure overlooking Loch Scresort. (Grid ref: NM403999). Kinloch village has a shop, community hall and a primary school. The community has recently taken ownership of land in the village and plans to develop a new shop and tearoom incorporating visitor facilities on the south side of the village as well as plans for holiday letting homes and newly created crofts. A second phase transfer of land and assets next year will see the community taking ownership of almost the entire village and infrastructure. The building is of rendered solid brick construction with a hipped corrugated asbestos roof. It formerly constituted a 1½-storey block of 2 semi-detached houses, each of 3 rooms, (2 at ground floor level and one attic room). The building is structurally sound but is in need of extensive renovation. The Tattie House includes around a quarter acre of land and has the prospect of being a very attractive home. Electrical and water services can readily be accessed and are currently supplied by Scottish Natural Heritage but will in future be community owned and managed. Sewerage is to a septic tank. For more information please email: info@isleofrum.com.
