Details

Beacon Light is a breathtaking, architecturally designed home spanning three levels, blending modern grandeur with innovative design situated on the Isle of North Uist. This masterpiece includes a remarkable glass and granite extension to an original Dualchas-designed structure, showcasing two glass walls and two granite walls inside, and corridors crowned with glass ceilings to bathe the spaces in natural light, accented by striking lighting fixtures. The seamless integration of the new with the original Dualchas house through a creative architectural approach is a standout feature, offering underfloor heating across all rooms decked in stone tiles or oak.

In the original section of the house, you'll find three bedrooms: one on the ground floor with a king-sized bed, built-in wardrobes, and a large ensuite walk-in shower room detailed with mosaic tiles from floor to ceiling. The first-floor bedroom offers a double bed, ensuite facilities and breathtaking views of both a sea loch and freshwater loch. The third bedroom, featuring a king-sized bed, is located on a minstrels’ gallery, offering open views to the lounge and the sea beyond. Comfort is paramount, with luxurious bed linen from The White Company, along with duck/goose down duvets and pillows and an ample supply of towels and handcrafted Hebridean soap.

The kitchen is a culinary dream with hand-built oak units topped with granite, featuring a central island, integrated appliances and a comprehensive collection of cooking tools and appliances for those passionate about cooking. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious dining area with oak table seating for eight, offering stunning loch views and access to the glass corridor leading to the granite and glass extension.

The living room, with its full house height ceiling, houses leather sofas, a Danish wood/peat burning stove and offers mesmerising views across the loch, alongside a library of 900 books and various artworks.

The property includes a large garage for storage, a meticulously maintained lawn, and premium teak garden furniture, with direct access to the water for canoeing or kayaking.

The granite and glass extension, a spectacle of Studio Hebrides’ architectural genius, features indoor and outdoor granite walls, glass ceilings and a lounge on the upper floor with panoramic sea views. Furnished with sofas, a wood/peat burning stove and electric skylights, it provides a tranquil space to observe wildlife. A luxurious bathroom with a large platinum bath and walk-in shower offers loch views, complemented by high-end fixtures and electric blinds for privacy. A bedroom with a super king bed, accessible via a glass-roofed staircase, opens to a large stone patio and another upper-floor patio, both offering sweeping views over the loch.
