A sweeping driveway leads up to the side of the house where the main door is located. The front of the property is particularly striking, with its pretty painted wrought iron verandah with balcony above, creating a welcoming front façade and the perfect seating area to enjoy the far reaching views.

Off the hallway to the right is the formal drawing room which boasts expansive triple picture windows that frame sweeping bay vistas, complemented by a traditional fireplace that adds warmth and character. Adjacent is the elegant dining room, adorned with rich oak panelling, dual aspect windows, and a fine fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings and special occasions. An inner hallway leads to the family sitting room to the rear and the breakfasting kitchen which has floor and wall units with room for a small table. There is also a generously sized utility room and WC which complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor offers five bedrooms, including a principal suite featuring an en suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe with its own separate entrance, and stunning dual-aspect views. There is a family bathroom on a split level which has a shower room and main room with bath.

The property is set in an elevated position with panoramic views across Oban Bay, and stone steps leading down into the gardens. The gardens are well maintained and mainly laid to lawn at both front and back, surrounded by hedging which gives a sense of privacy. There is a detached double garage positioned at the back of the property, providing practical parking and storage.
