House - Isle of Mull

Almost-completed renovated island croft. Torr na Locha is an extended former croft house in a remote area of the Isle of Mull.

It has open views of countryside and down to the stunning Burg Penisula and Loch Scridain.

The original property has been sympathetically renovated to create four bedrooms, a living room, cosy family dinining room/kitchen, office and bathroom and has planning approval for two holiday chalets to be built.

The extension is almost complete and has doubled the size of the property. It is block built with a traditional stone finish but needs plastering and electrical work finishing off, radiators installing and other work to complete.

The property sits within its own croft land with a small paddock, extending down to the shoreline and is three miles from the village of Bunessan.

Offers are invited over £155,000.

House - Picket Piece, Andover

Detached brick-built bungalow requiring complete renovation. Greencroft is in Picket Piece, on the outskirts of Andover - a decent-sized town with a fast train link to London (Waterloo, one hour) and easy access to the A34.
The house has parking, gardens, outbuildings and enough space to extend beyond its two bedrooms, two reception, bathroom and kitchen structure.
It's not the prettiest house in its current state but, with a guide price of £250,000/£275,000, has the potential to punch above its weight as a rebuilt country home for a London commuter.

Schoolhouse - Isle of Skye, Scotland

Island renovation project. The Old School and Schoolhouse at Drumfearn, on the beautiful Isle of Skye, is breathtaking - if only for the amount of work needed to turn this substantial wreck into a stunning home.

The stone-built building requires total refurbishment but, at offers around £75,000, there's plenty of scope for spending on the rebuild.

It's really two buildings stuck together - an open-plan school which once served 30 children, and the two-storey schoolhouse for the teacher. The building stood empty, at the mercy of the elements, for 60 years.

It comes with a generous third of an acre of land - marked by the original school railings and a burn, within a secluded island setting.
