Tigh an Duin, Glenmore Road, Oban, PA34 4PG

TRADITIONAL DETACHED PERIOD VILLA

Peacefully nestled on the popular Glenmore Road, in the West coast town of Oban, the subjects of sale form a most desirable traditional detached villa, set in elevated private garden grounds, with views towards the Isle and Sound of Kerrera. Ideally centrally located to take full advantage of the town's facilities and amenities, Tigh an Duin offers spacious accommodation, conveniently arranged over two floors, comprising a formal lounge and separate dining room with bay windows and fireplaces, a generous kitchen/diner with utility room, and cloakroom all on the ground floor, whilst a bathroom, four bedrooms and a study/5th bedroom on the first floor, complete the accommodation. Boasting many original features including a grand carved wooden entrance door, pitch pine staircase, panelled internal doors, plaster cornicing, ceiling roses, and high ceilings, Tigh an Duin would make a fantastic family home, idyllic holiday retreat, or investment opportunity in a buoyant rental market, however upgrading and modernisation would be advantageous.

The town boasts a wide variety of businesses, offices, shops, restaurants, cafes and bars while sporting and other facilities can be enjoyed at the Atlantis Leisure Centre. Known as "The Seafood Capital of Scotland", the town is also the Gateway to the Isles, with ferry, train and air services linking the islands to the mainland and central belt.
