Star Brae Cottage, Star Brae, Oban, PA34 4NX

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 enjoys good transport links to the central belt of Scotland by road and rail.

Located within a short walking distance of the town centre and all transport links, Star Brae Cottage is a truly unique town house which has been taken back to the external walls and then sympathetically remodelled by a well respected local builder, to include a new roof, insulation, re-wiring, new plumbing, replacement staircases, windows and doors, whilst still retaining much of its charm and character. The exquisitely presented accommodation is arranged over three floors and has been designed to allow for the ground floor to be utilised as a self-contained one bedroomed unit, ideal for letting purposes, subject to the necessary consents. A particularly outstanding feature of the property is the top floor open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with high beamed ceiling and large windows filling the room with natural light and providing an excellent space for entertaining. The property benefits from a Dimplex electric heating system, augmented by a stove effect gas fire in the sitting area, together with high quality wood effect laminate throughout, giving a seamless flow. In addition the work room is a useful storage space for bikes or other sporting equipment, which all adds to the appeal of this exceptional home.
