Staffa, North Connel, By Oban, PA37 1RD

The scattered rural community of North Connel is a sought-after residential area extending along the northern shores of Loch Etive towards Bonawe. There is an excellent range of local services available in the nearby villages of Benderloch and Connel, with a more comprehensive range of shops, professional services, leisure and recreational facilities available in the principal town of Oban, some eight miles or so away.

Staffa is a substantial detached property with elegance and distinction, situated in a ribbon of other individual executive homes, enjoying fine views over Loch Etive to the countryside beyond. Offering generously proportioned and beautifully appointed accommodation, the layout is designed to take full advantage of the views across the fabulous garden to the loch beyond, with large picture windows and patio doors, creating a feeling of light and space throughout. Benefiting from an oil-fired central heating system, particular features of note are the impressive staircase with decorative wrought iron spindles, the lounge with focal point multi-fuel stove and wall panelling, together with a separate study area and the spacious kitchen with island unit. The principal bedroom has dual aspect windows and excellent storage, whilst the luxurious bathroom enjoys a free-standing bath and large shower enclosure. Staffa is set in glorious garden grounds of close to one acre, with a sweeping lawn to the front bounded by a fabulous display of mature shrubs, bushes and trees, with the approach along the driveway taking you to rear of the property and the large parking area with access to the double garage with electric roller door, which all adds to the appeal of this exceptional property.
