Please click here for Property Schedule for full details.

Occupying an exceptional waterfront setting in the heart of Great Bernera, The Manse is a rare Hebridean home combining character, privacy and modern comfort. Dating from the 1930s and having been in the ownership of just two families since its construction, this former Church of Scotland Manse enjoys approximately 65 metres of private loch frontage, extensive enclosed garden grounds, a private jetty and mooring, and stunning views across the surrounding landscape.

Offering spacious family accommodation over two floors, the property retains much of its original charm with high ceilings, generous proportions and period features throughout. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, inner porch, central hallway, two reception rooms, formal dining room, recently renovated kitchen overlooking the loch, utility room/rear porch and cloakroom WC. The first floor offers four bedrooms, a shower room and a library, which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom, home office or hobby room. Three working open fireplaces create welcoming focal points within the home, while double-glazed uPVC windows and doors, oil-fired central heating with a modern combi boiler and superfast fibre broadband provide modern convenience.

A particular highlight is the property’s direct access to the shoreline. A pathway with vehicular access leads to the water’s edge, where a private jetty, mooring and sheltered boat launching area provide an ideal base for boating and watersports enthusiasts. The surrounding glebe land, used solely for grazing, enhances the property’s privacy and protects the outstanding open outlook.

Situated within walking distance of the village shop, café, community centre and doctor’s surgery, The Manse enjoys a peaceful yet accessible location, the island having been joined to the mainland of Lewis since the 1970s by bridge.

Great Bernera is celebrated for its dramatic coastline, white sand beaches, rich heritage and strong community spirit, while the surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for sailing, fishing, kayaking, wildlife watching, shooting, stalking and hill walking.

Combining historic character, generous accommodation, private waterfront access and a highly desirable setting, The Manse represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the Western Isles’ most distinctive homes.
