3 Bed Detached House For Sale

An opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached island property, set in a wonderful, elevated location on the ever-popular Isle of Colonsay and benefitting from far-reaching coastal views.

Nestled on the edge of the charming coastal village of Scalasaig on the Isle of Colonsay, 5 Glassard presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained three-bedroom semi-detached home, boasting sweeping views across the sea to Islay and Jura.

The property is traditionally accessed via the side elevation, where French doors open into a stunning sunroom—an elegant, modern extension that captures the breathtaking coastal scenery. This inviting space is ideal for relaxation and could also serve as en-suite overflow accommodation, thanks to the linked ground-floor shower room.

To the rear of the home, the kitchen features sleek white wall and base units paired with a granite-effect worktop and comfortably accommodates a four-seater dining table—perfect for family dining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the spacious sitting room spans the full width of the property and is perfectly positioned to take in the ever-changing sea views. A multi-fuel stove set within a traditional fireplace adds warmth and character, complementing the electric storage heating system. Additional storage is provided by a storage cupboard in the sitting room and an under-stair cupboard accessed from the kitchen.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms. The larger bedroom offers access to a third bedroom at the rear of the house, ideal as a guest room, study, or nursery. A family bathroom completes the upper floor, featuring a full-sized bath with shower over, a classic white suite, and a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.


The Island of Colonsay is a remote Inner Hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland measuring approximately ten miles by two miles and has a population of around 120. It is a popular holiday destination and draws regular visitors back year after year. The island has long stretches of sandy beaches and an abundance of wildlife and plant life. Sailing, fishing cycling and walking are popular pursuits and there is a challenging 18-hole links golf course.





The property is surrounded by mature gardens to the front and side, thoughtfully planted with a variety of shrubs and bushes that provide vibrant, seasonal colour throughout the year. To the rear, an outbuilding and garden shed offer practical storage for tools and equipment.

5 Glassard enjoys a prime location within easy walking distance of local amenities, including the CalMac ferry terminal, doctor’s surgery, Post Office and shop, the Colonsay Pantry, hotel, and village hall—making it an ideal base for island living.


Upon disembarkation from the ferry, turn right onto B8087. Follow road for approximately 0.6 miles. The access track to the property is located on the right-hand side. Parking is available on the driveway.
