Description

Situation
Duisdale is well-known locally and occupies a convenient location close to the local facilities and amenities of Lochgilphead and within reasonable driving distance of the popular seaside town of Oban to the north and the fishing village of Tarbert to the south. The property is private and peaceful and benefits from a large paddock to the front and sits alongside the Cuil ar stich Burn.

Lochgilphead provides a Co-op Supermarket along with a range of smaller, independent shops, providing the majority of everyday requirements. The town has a new hospital and new primary and secondary school as well as being the location for the headquarters of Argyll and Bute Council.

Within a 20 mile radius of the property are marinas at Craobh Haven, Ardfern and Crinan and the Crinan Canal passes by within metres of the house. This quiet corner of Argyll is steeped in history and substantial Neolithic and Megalithic remains at nearby Kilmartin. The countryside around Lochgilphead is perfect for outdoor pursuits ranging from walking and mountain biking through to more challenging activities.

Oban, approximately 37 miles to the north, is one of the principal towns on the West Coast and is renowned for its attractive sea front and busy harbour and its marvellous sailing waters. It is also well-known as the "Gateway to the Isles" with the Cal-Mac ferry terminal serving the Inner Hebrides as well as Barra and South Uist and is connected by rail to Glasgow. The town has a wide range of shops, leisure facilities and professional offices along with a medical centre and a general hospital.

Directions
Arriving in Lochgilphead from Oban, do not go into the town centre but follow the A816 south towards Ardrishaig and Campbeltown. Duisdale is the last house on the left before the roundabout. If arriving via the A83, continue through the town centre, again following signs for Ardrishaig and Campbeltown, cross the bridge over the Badden Burn and turn right at the roundabout towards Oban. Duisdale is the first house on the right hand side, clearly visible from the road.

Description
Duisdale is a locally admired, attractive, period, detached villa dating from 1948 and incorporating various Arts & Crafts style features. Well known in the area as the 'Vet's house', it offers substantial and comfortable accommodation, together with a large garden, adjacent paddock and useful attached office/workshop/studio space that could be adapted for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents.

Entering at the front via a glazed porch into a broad, welcoming hallway, the ground floor accommodation extends to a large, dual aspect lounge with an attractive, brick fireplace with Jetmaster grate and parquet floor. Also off the hallway is a large study with views over the back garden and with potential as a downstairs bedroom. To the front of the house is a bright, formal dining room with bay window.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a well-proportioned family bathroom with white, three piece suite together with a separate shower stall, and a fully equipped kitchen with a range of fitted base and wall units with roll top work surface and inset stainless steel sink and drainer and an electric cooker. A door from the kitchen leads to the rear utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, and access to the boiler/drying room and a separate office, and to the gardens.

A carpeted stair leads from the hallway to the first floor landing, off which are four good sized bedrooms, the master bedroom being triple aspect and benefitting from an en-suite dressing room and with each of the remaining bedrooms having fitted wardrobes. Along with additional cupboards on the landing and with a fully floored attic, the house benefits from excellent storage. Also at first floor is an additional half-bathroom with two piece white sanitary suite, and which would be large enough for a shower.

External
The property occupies a significant plot with landscaped, terraced gardens and a large, tarmacadam driveway and turning area at the rear. The gardens are easily maintained, enclosed on two sides by a magnificent beech hedge and largely laid to grass. To the front of the property is a 0.85 acre paddock, that incorporates a productive vegetable patch close to the house, and which could be put to a variety of uses.

Office/Studio/Workshop
Formerly the vet's surgery, these rooms could be adapted to a variety of potential alternative uses, subject to all necessary consents.
