This lochside Victorian Ice House is one of Scotland's most unique properties - and it could be yours

What could be one of Scotland's most unique properties has been put on the market.

Originally built to store ice in which salmon could be packed for market, the Victorian Ice House first featured in George Clarke’s TV show Restoration Man.

A quirky little building, it comes with incredible views across a beautiful sea loch.

Located on the shores of Loch Crinan in Kilmartin in Argyll and Bute, the partly converted build is ready for someone to take it on and realise its potential.

On the market with a guide price of £250,000, the building comes with planning permission and listed building consent for a two bedroom property with mezzanine floor, complete with dining kitchen, living area, bathroom and utility room.

Once finished, estate agents Galbraith's say the Ice House will make an "outstanding holiday home with excellent rental potential".

They add that it could also be out to use as a more permanent dwelling.

Built with sturdy stone walls and a turf roof, the previous owners have added a stunning frameless ice like ‘light loft’ to the southside of the building.

Made using bespoke, reinforced and heated glass walls, door and glass floor, the agents say it is "usable throughout the year".

Its location on an extensive stretch of private foreshore on the tidal estuary of the River Add fed by Loch Crinan offers direct water access and a superb launching area for a small boat, kayaks or canoes making it ideal for people who love watersports.
