Tigh an Aighear, Arduaine, By Oban, PA34 4XQ

This delightful cottage is part of a hamlet of exclusive properties just off the A816 Oban to Lochgilphead road, between the picturesque villages of Kilmelford and Ardfern, with local services including a general store, primary school, hotels with restaurants and thriving community halls which are the focal point for many social activities. Within walking distance is the National Trust Arduaine Gardens, adjacent to the award winning Loch Melfort Hotel. The surrounding area abounds with outdoor sporting and leisure facilities and is renowned for its excellent sailing waters with yachting marinas at both Craobh Haven and Ardfern.

Tigh an Aighear is pleasantly situated on the fringe of the hamlet and by virtue of its slightly elevated position enjoys magnificent unobstructed views over Loch Melfort to the islands beyond. Currently successfully holiday let, the property is also extensively enjoyed as the owners second home and is equally suited for permanent occupancy. A particular feature of note is the large attic area, which, subject to the necessary consents, lends itself to be developed into further living space, which would add greatly to the versatility of the accommodation. In addition, the property benefits from a delightful, easily managed garden, which all adds to the amenity of this attractive cottage.
