Picture: Savills

Suidheachan house -literally translated as ‘sitting down place’ - was built in 1935 by Sir Compton Mackenzie and is a Category B listed property which is located close to a beautiful white beach on the Isle of Barra. In the late 1990s, Shakespearian actor Alan Howard - Compton Mackenzie’s great-nephew - and his best selling novelist wife Sally Beauman bought Suidheachan and transformed it back into a wonderful, light and airy family home. With five bedrooms, an open plan living and games room and a stunning setting, this unique home is on the market for offers over £325,000 with Savills.

The house sits within walking distance of a beautiful, white sandy beach.

The drawing and games room share one big, open plan space making this an ideal family room.

The open plan living room has exposed timber beams and a feature fireplace.

The traditional style kitchen has a dining table and Aga.

As well as space to dine in the kitchen, there's a formal dining room.
