3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Narrachan Cottage, Lochavich PA35

Charming detached cottage


Peacefully positioned in a tranquil countryside setting on the shores of beautiful Lochavich, Narrachan Cottage is a charming detached bungalow enjoying a wonderfully secluded location surrounded by Argyll's spectacular natural scenery. Dating back to the 1700s and the oldest dwelling in the Glen, the property offers deceptively spacious, single-level accommodation comprising an entrance sun room, hallway, an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room with triple-aspect windows framing the surrounding countryside, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Benefiting from double glazing throughout, the cottage would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and upgrading, providing an excellent opportunity for purchasers to create a delightful home tailored to their own taste and requirements. The sale also includes a traditional ruinous stone byre, offering further appeal and potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents and permissions where required. Combining generous accommodation with an exceptional rural setting, Narrachan Cottage would make an idyllic permanent residence, a peaceful holiday retreat, or an investment opportunity in Argyll's established self-catering holiday market, following works.

Enjoying an enviable position overlooking Lochavich, with breath-taking views across the surrounding countryside and water, the property lies approximately 6 miles from the picturesque village of Kilmelford and around 15 miles south of Oban. Kilmelford has a welcoming community and offers amenities including the Cuilfail Hotel with its popular bar and restaurant, community village hall, the nearby Gunpowder Kitchen & Bar at Melfort Village, and a marina. The well-regarded Kilninver Primary School is approximately 7 miles to the north, with school transport available from the area. The surrounding landscape provides exceptional opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including walking, hiking, cycling, kayaking, boating, fishing and wildlife watching. The bustling harbour town of Oban, around 20 miles away, offers an extensive range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities, healthcare services, schools, rail connections and ferry links to the Inner and Outer Hebrides, making Narrachan Cottage an ideal base from which to enjoy both the tranquility of rural Argyll and the convenience of a thriving coastal town.
