The living room
The living room is a captivating space featuring a double height vaulted ceiling. An impressive large viewing window floods the room with natural light. The room is vast yet with an open fire and warm wood accents it manages to retain a level of intimacy that makes it feel cosy and inviting – not cold and stark.
The bedrooms
A gallery landing provides another quirky dimension to the master bedroom.
The architect provides plenty of unique design features, such as the interestingly shaped windows. Interesting yes, but a nightmare to buy curtains for most likely.
The breathtaking views
The quirky house is situated on the northwest coast of the Isle of Mull, on the edge of the small hamlet of Ulva Ferry. Set on the shores of Loch Na Keal and overlooking the Isle of Ulva, the house takes in one of the most scenic settings on Mull.
This aerial shot helps appreciate the secluded setting. Approached by a private lane, this house is surrounded by 1.8 acres of private land.
