Foxholes, Lerags, Oban, Argyll And Bute

Former hotel with planning to be changed to residential

An exciting opportunity to acquire this substantial former hotel with planning already passed to convert to residential use, set within a private rural location just south of Oban.

Foxholes comprises a former nine-bedroom hotel, each bedroom benefitting from en-suite facilities, together with a dining room, lounge/bar, commercial kitchen, pantry and laundry room. In addition, the property includes a spacious four-bedroom apartment with office, sitting room, bathroom and en-suite shower room, providing flexible owner’s accommodation or further letting potential subject to consents. Adjacent to the main building is a timber-clad lodge featuring a double garage at ground level and well-presented studio accommodation above, including an open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining area, double bedroom and shower room. A further one-bedroom chalet is positioned near the lower boundary of the garden and remains incomplete internally, offering additional development scope. The property is still mixed use so rates and council tax apply. The application has been passed for a change of use from bed & breakfast/hotel to dwelling house, planning reference 23/01450/PP. The property is set within mature, well-established gardens with trees and herbaceous borders, and is accessed via a short private driveway leading from a privately owned tarmac road.
