Description
Camus House is an exceptional Victorian villa built in 1892 in the Arts and Crafts style. It is surrounded by carefully tended mature gardens which extend to around 1.3 acres and include lawns, woodland and a car park. There is also a substantial garage/outbuilding in the grounds.
Camus House has been sympathetically renovated by our clients with many 21st century alterations yet a wealth of original 19th century features have been carefully retained.
The accommodation on the ground floor begins with an entrance conservatory which leads to a grand reception hallway with magnificent antique panelling and a staircase with carved balustrade. A splendid period fireplace with open fire provides plenty of welcoming character upon entering the house.
The sitting room has wonderful views to the Morvern Peninsula framed by full height windows, and the formal dining room again enjoys open views and has a fireplace with marble surround. The fully fitted kitchen has been recently upgraded in a stylish and contemporary style and includes double induction hobs and two double ovens, solid oak work surfaces, central island and plenty of cabinets. Off the kitchen are the butler pantry, larder, boiler room and laundry room.
On the ground floor there are two double bedrooms, both with en suites, while upstairs are a further seven bedrooms, five of which include en suite facilities. There is also a bathroom and WC on this level.
Camus Houses’ flexible layout and stunning location means it has been enjoyed as a much loved family home and as a successful guest house by the current owners. The website is available to view at .
The business element can be purchased under separate negotiation; further information can be made available upon request.
Location
Camus House is situated in a beautiful elevated position overlooking the shores of Loch Linnhe, a west coast sea loch which ultimately feeds into the Atlantic Ocean. From both the house and gardens you can enjoy some of the finest views in Scotland overlooking Glencoe to the east, Ardgower and Morven in the west and also towards Ben More on Mull.
The picturesque and sought-after village of Onich is around 12 miles south of Fort William. More locally, Ballachulish offers amenities with a small supermarket, while Glencoe caters for further everyday essentials. Fort William and Oban are also within easy reach by road and both offer specialist shops, supermarkets, restaurants and a range of professional services, with railway stations providing regular services to Glasgow and a direct overnight sleeper service to London from Fort William. The surrounding area boasts a wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities including some of the best skiing, climbing, hillwalking, sailing, fishing and shooting in Scotland. Glencoe (around six miles) is a challenging skiing area with chair lifts to a range of slopes while the Nevis range around 7 miles north of Fort William offers gondola access to the skiing area adjacent to Ben Nevis.
