Pretty refurbished lock keeper’s cottage on the Crinan Canal.

Description

Ardmaleish House is a former lock keeper’s cottage on the bank of the Crinan Canal. It dates from the early 19th century and has been the subject of a full architectural renovation and extension by the current owner via Dualchas, award-winning architects.

The detached cottage has a beautifully presented, modern interior presented over two levels. The stylish contemporary kitchen has a large island with in-built hob, a range of other integrated appliances and extensive worktop space and cabinetry, with a triple skylight above ensuring this is a light and bright space. Off the kitchen there is a small internal hall with a handy WC and a utility room benefitting from an expanse of high and low fitted storage.

The sitting room is dual aspect with a woodburning stove. Off the living room there is a double bedroom with en suite shower room and double full height windows bathing the room in natural light and framing views over the canal.

Upstairs, accessed by a staircase from the dining area, there are two front facing double bedrooms. The first floor is completed with a fully tiled spacious shower room.

The house has been re-reroofed with Ballachulish slate and as part of the considerable renovation the property benefits from new wiring, plumbing and flooring. The fenced front garden has been carefully landscaped and is laid to lawn, with a stone slabbed path leading from the gravelled drive along the front of the house, leading to a detached stone-built outbuilding.

Location

Opened in 1801, the Crinan canal stretches nine miles, from Ardrishaig on Loch Fyne to Crinan on the Sound of Jura, and provides a shortcut from the Firth of Clyde to the Western Isles.

Moorings are offered on the canal and the established boating centres of Crinan, Tayvallich, Ardfern and Craobh Haven are all within easy reach. Cairnbaan is not only notable for its breathtaking scenery but also for the Cairnbaan Hotel and Crinan Hotel which take full advantage of the wonderful setting.

Lochgilphead is the main centre of mid-Argyll and offers a variety of amenities and shops including a sports centre, hospital, library and the main primary and secondary schools. The headquarters of Argyll and Bute Council are also in Lochgilphead. The surrounding area offers some of Scotland’s prettiest walks, prehistoric sites in Kilmartin Glen, challenging climbing, excellent fishing and, of course, testing sailing waters.
