Designed by local architects Dualchas, this wonderfully conceived four-bedroom house stands on the Sleat peninsula, within the Isle of Skye's southern fringe. Its hardy rendered façades are set in artful contrast with light, crisp interiors spanning some 1,338 sq ft. Source materials for its design include warm and traditional Scottish crofts, along with the minimalist appeal of modernist Scandinavian styles. Outside, the house has a peaceful garden of around half an acre, which is in turn bounded by an embracing wooded burn.
