An idyllic working croft with 3 properties set in approximately 30 acres enjoying picturesque coastal and mountain views across Clashnessie Bay to the spectacular Sutherland hills of Quinag, Ben Stack, Arkle and Foinaven.

Laid is the collective name for this magnificent working croft located in a stunning part of the North West Highlands of Scotland renowned for its rugged coastline, mountains and sea views. Occupying an unspoilt and secluded position, the croft includes 3 properties and approximately 30 acres.

The current owners have been custodians of Laid and have owned the croft for the last 20 years. Over that period, they have carried out a significant number of improvements and sympathetic renovations.

The kitchen features a wide range of fitted wall and base cabinetry, storage, complete with dual sinks, double ovens and a range with 5-burner hob. The utility room with larder opens into the central hallway, which leads to a study, a bathroom with separate bathtub and walk-in shower and an adjacent bedroom with a sliding fitted wardrobe.

On the first floor is the expansive sitting room with its elevated aspects, wealth of natural light, freestanding log-burning stove and double doors flowing to the balcony with commanding mountain views. Completing the floor is the principal bedroom suite and shower room.

The Old Croft House has been renovated to an impressive specification and is adjacent to the main house. The porch leads to a characterful open-plan living area with feature fireplaces to either end, an in-keeping and well-appointed kitchen, mezzanine, a utility and WC. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the first floor, with the principal benefiting from an en suite shower room. There is underfloor heating downstairs.
