The Pier House, Balvicar, By Oban, PA34 4TF

The delightful former slate mining village of Balvicar is situated around Balvicar Bay on the Island of Seil, which is connected to the mainland by the famous ‘Bridge over the Atlantic', in an area renowned for its outstanding natural beauty with excellent sailing, fishing and diving, being just a few of the interests that can be enjoyed in the area. Local services on the island include an excellent village store/post office and 9 hole golf course, both of which are within a short walking distance of the property, a doctors surgery, village hall, primary school, a boatyard and two pubs with restaurants, The Oyster Bar at Ellenabeich and the Tigh An Truish, at Clachan Seil. The town of Oban, some 14 miles to the north, supports a wide variety of shops, leisure facilities, recreational and professional services and a general hospital.

The Pier House is a delightful semi-detached one and a half storey home situated in an exceptional position on the shores of Balvicar Bay and enjoying fabulous unobstructed views over the bay to the hills beyond. The beautifully presented accommodation benefits from an oil-fired central heating system with external boiler, augmented by a multi-fuel stove in the lounge. Taking full advantage of the views the lounge has patio doors opening out to a raised decked seating area and of particular note is the impressive principal bedroom with large sea facing Velux windows and in addition to the en-suite shower room has two walk-in wardrobes. The kitchen is of a modern design with integrated appliances and an AEG induction hob. The easily managed garden, laid mainly to grass and terraced down to the shoreline adds to the appeal of this most desirable waterside home.
