Firgrove, 8 Grosvenor Crescent, Connel, PA37 1PQ

Connel is a sought-after lochside village, noted for its landmark iron bridge which spans the tidal rapids known as the Falls Of Lora. Situated some five miles east of Oban, the principal town of the West Highlands, it offers a good range of village amenities and services which include a medical centre, primary schooling in the nearby village of Benderloch, churches and two licensed hotels with restaurants. The village also enjoys excellent transport links by road and rail to the central belt with Connel Station being a stop on the Oban to Glasgow line.

Firgrove is a substantial detached one and a half storey house situated on the fringe of the village, and from its elevated position enjoys splendid views over the roof tops towards Loch Etive. The impressive property offers extremely spacious and versatile accommodation and has recently undergone considerable modernisation and upgrading which includes a new roof with solar panel, replacement kitchen and bathrooms and in September 2024 a new external oil-fired boiler was installed. Firgrove also benefits from a sizeable garden with paved patio, which all adds to the appeal of this impressive home.
