As beach properties go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Situated right next to one of Scotland's most beautiful coastlines, Suidheachan was built on the Isle of Barra in 1935 by Whisky Galore writer Sir Compton Mackenzie.
The category B listed villa is simply stunning on both the inside and outside, and with Barra airport nearby you can watch planes land from the comfort of your couch.
Part of the villa was once used as a cockle shell crushing factory before being restored back to a private residence.
In the late 1990s, Shakespearian actor Alan Howard - Compton Mackenzie's great-nephew - and his best selling novelist wife Sally Beauman bought Suidheachan and transformed it back into a wonderful, light and airy family home, according to estate agent Savills.
Aside from the location and interesting history, the property has an open plan L-shaped reception hallway, living room, formal dining room and a large dining kitchen.
The drawing and games room has white exposed timber beams and open views across the water.
And if the living space isn't enough, there's four large bedrooms and a master suit with en suite bathroom.
If a quiet, idyllic location, steeped in Scottish history, sounds right up your street, this property is on the market for offers over £325,000. A total steal if you ask us.
