| Rowan Cottage |
Sue and I have agreed that it is time to reduce our
workload. I am 66 now, and would quite like to take semi-retirement from my job
of managing our holiday cottages. We once had four holiday lets. We currently
have three, but by selling Rowan, we will be down to two – which we think will
be manageable by us for the foreseeable future.
Our plan is to use the proceeds from the sale to buy a
modern bungalow in Inverness which we will
long-let through a management company. The management company will do all the
work, and we will get a regular income from the rent – albeit a good deal less
than a holiday let might achieve…
A big bonus of selling Rowan will be to reduce the miles we
travel to service our properties. The biggest mistake we made when we started
our holiday cottage rental business was to buy cottages that were scattered
across the island – it is nearly an hour’s drive each way from our home to
Rowan, and that’s an awful lot of driving just to mow the lawn!
Rowan Cottage was the first property we bought on Skye, fourteen
years ago. It is a lovely little cottage, snuggled down on the shore above a
sea loch, with a wonderful view to the nearby island of Scalpay
The cottage is being marketed through Re/Max Skye, and is
available for offers over £185,000. To see the details - click this link .
