Glenmore Road, Oban PA34

Traditional detached period villa


Peacefully nestled on the popular Glenmore Road, in the West coast town of Oban, the subjects of sale form a most desirable traditional detached villa, set in elevated private garden grounds, with views towards the Isle and Sound of Kerrera. Ideally centrally located to take full advantage of the town’s facilities and amenities, Tigh an Duin offers spacious accommodation, conveniently arranged over two floors, comprising a formal lounge and separate dining room with bay windows and fireplaces, a generous kitchen/diner with utility room, and cloakroom all on the ground floor, whilst a bathroom, four bedrooms and a study/5th bedroom on the first floor, complete the accommodation.
