Full Details for 2 Bedroom Detached for sale in Oban, PA34 :

This truly delightful property has successfully combined the traditional features of a charming cottage with the practical needs of contemporary living, to offer a most attractive, larger than average two bedroom home on the picturesque island of Luing. Originally built as a slate worker’s cottage more than 150 years ago, the property has been extended and extensively refurbished to provide spacious and practical accommodation, ideal for permanent living, or as a holiday home. The cottage is situated in the very pretty conservation village of Toberonochy with close access to the shore, making it an ideal location for boating, sailing and water sports enthusiasts. As well as two double bedrooms and a converted loft area - providing further living space - the cottage benefits from a wonderful and very large garden offering a wealth of features. As one of the famous slate isles of the inner Hebrides, Luing is a highly sort after location. The island, which has a primary school, shop, church and two village halls, is accessed by a regular ferry service and benefits from close proximity to Oban. Residents can enjoy all the delights of island living and yet are in easy reach of a major town with its wide range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. We anticipate significant interest in this property and would advise early viewing to avoid disappointment.
