The Old Byre Inverie, Knoydart, Mallaig, PH41 4PL

The Old Byre, Inverie rests on Knoydart, a secluded peninsula where rugged mountains embrace the sea. With no roads leading in, you arrive by boat or on foot, and once you arrive, time seems to pause.

Knoydart is not just a place to buy a house; it is a place where you embrace an entirely new way of life.

The Old Byre, with its origins stretching back around 130 years, has been transformed into a charming stone-built, single-storey home. Inside, you will find a spacious reception room with a log burner and exposed stone walls, a generous kitchen perfect for dining and breakfast, a walk-in boiler room, a utility room with appliances, a welcoming hallway, five double bedrooms, and three shower rooms featuring oversized shower cabinets.

The house has double glazing and oil fired central heating (under floor). 

A loft room, accessed from outside, offers excellent storage space for all your needs.

Expansive private gardens stretch out at the front, lush with lawn, while a decked terrace at the rear invites you to relax with woodland as your backdrop.

An open garage shelters the trailer and rib, and also offers practical storage for logs, sports gear, and garden tools.

A spacious driveway ensures ample parking for several vehicles.

To the front, breathtaking views of the sea and mountains greet you each day.

It should be noted that the following items can form part of the sale:

1. A private parking space at Malliag proximate to the ferry.
2. A Land Rover Defender 
3. A private mooring opposite The Old Forge pub and ferry pier.
4. A trailer and rib with engine 
5. All appliances and furniture within the house
6. All bedding, towels, crockery, cutlery etc.

This is a rare chance to secure a full-time residence, a holiday retreat, or even a potential business venture. Inverie, the main settlement, is home to around 120 residents. The Old Forge pub proudly holds a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most remote pub in mainland UK.

Knoydart, as noted earlier, is separated from the UK mainland’s road network. Most visitors arrive by ferry from Mallaig or embark on a 14-mile trek across wild terrain. The dramatic, untamed landscape is a major draw, with four Munros and countless Corbetts waiting to be explored.
