3 bedroom detached house for sale

Oban, the principal tourist town of Argyll, supports a wide range of shops, restaurants, leisure and recreational facilities and professional services. There are primary schools, a high school, a leisure/sports centre and a general hospital as well as churches of various denominations. The thriving town has an attractive sea front and bustling harbour from which Caledonian MacBrayne ferries serve many of the Hebridean Islands. The town enjoys good transport links to the central belt of Scotland by road and rail.  The surrounding area, steeped in history with an abundance of flora and fauna, abounds with outdoor sporting and leisure facilities including fishing and hill walking and is renowned for it’s outstanding sailing waters.  


The community of Kilmore is located some 5 miles south of Oban, with Knipochmore situated on the A816 Oban to Lochgilphead road and enjoying excellent views over Loch Feochan to the hills and countryside beyond.  This quaint traditional cottage, with extension to the rear, still retains much of its original charm and character, but also benefits from an effective LPG gas central heating system and offers deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation.  The established garden is sloping to rear and laid to grass, interspersed with an interesting variety of mature trees and shrubs together with a burn running through, all adding to the appeal of this cottage which would be equally suitable as a permanent home or as a holiday retreat.
