Ardstruan, Croft Road, Oban, PA34 5JN

Oban, the principal tourist town of Argyll, supports a wide range of shops, restaurants, leisure and recreational facilities and professional services. There are primary schools, a high school, a leisure/sports centre and a general hospital as well as churches of various denominations. The thriving town has an attractive sea front and bustling harbour from which Caledonian MacBrayne ferries serve many of the Hebridean Islands. The town also enjoys good transport links to the central belt of Scotland by road and rail.

Ardstruan is a bright and spacious detached property situated on the fringe of the town with hillside to the rear affording a good degree of privacy, and from its elevated position enjoys excellent far reaching views to the front over the roof tops to the seascape beyond.
Having the advantage of six bedrooms, four of which have en-suite shower rooms, the property originally operated as a successful guest house and could easily be re-opened as such (subject to Argyll & Bute Council licensing) and also has the versatility of being an excellent family sized home with scope to have a self-contained annexe. Particular features of Ardstruan are the spacious living/dining room with direct access to the garden, the brand new contemporary kitchen with island unit and integrated appliances, together with brand new sanitary ware and flooring in most of the shower rooms. In addition, Ardstruan benefits from double glazed windows and external doors which were all replaced within the last 3 years, new carpeting fitted pre-marketing and an effective oil fired central heating system, together with a full fire alarm system should the purchaser wish to run the property as a guest house. The sizeable established garden with patio and large parking area, all adds to the appeal of this fine home.
