For Sale

Carrick - The Blue House Posted on by  

Jonathan & Denise >

Carrick – The Blue House is soon to be offered For Sale. We’re working the preliminaries.

The house and garden are part of our croft – officially 11 Bun-a-Mhuillin, Eriskay, but for us it’s been The Big Garden Croft – when posting on our personal blog The Big Garden & Croft. There, you’ll find maps, detailed information, and lots of photos.

Because of the more complex issues involved in the sale of a croft, we’ve planned for a completion of the sale in October 2020. We’re not taking bookings after early October.

For more information about the sale of the property, you should contact the agents, as follows :

Lintols Aloft

Carrick - The Blue House Posted on by

Building of the new croft store / shed has reached an important milestone : the heavy lintols – weighing very nearly a tonne – have been raised aloft, over the big doorway. Soon we’ll be ready to raise up the roof! Perhaps we’ll be visited by a rainbow again, then.

The shed is being built on the concrete slab built last year, down in the depression down by the shore, and thereby will be substantially screened from view by the house ; and we’ll also be planting native shrubs and trees.
