5 bedroom detached house for sale

Connel is a sought-after loch side village, noted for its landmark iron bridge which spans the tidal rapids known as the Falls Of Lora. Situated some five miles from Oban, the principal town of the West Highlands, it offers a good range of amenities and services which include a medical centre, community hall, a church and two hotels with restaurants.  Primary schooling is in the nearby village of Benderloch, with a bus service provided.  The village also enjoys good transport links by road and rail to the central belt with Connel Station being a stop on the Oban to Glasgow line.


Situated a short drive from the village on a single track road that loops back to Oban and accessed off a track shared with other properties, this exceptional new home, built by a highly regarded local builder, enjoys expansive countryside views from its elevated position.  The generously proportioned accommodation has been built to a high level of specification and benefits from an energy efficient air source heating/hot water system with under-floor heating throughout.  A particular feature of note is the kitchen which is fitted with a stylish  arrangement  of contemporary units, opening up to the dining area with large picture window that fully captures the view and French doors giving access to the decked seating area.  Offering versatile living space, one of the five bedrooms is on the ground floor, together with a large utility room, with a study and store room located on the upper floor. The lounge, with multi-fuel stove and engineered oak flooring, opens out to a sun room, filling the room with light.  The grounds, extending to just under half an acre, with an additional area of croft ground extending to just under 2 acres available, whilst uncultivated, provide a blank canvas to create a delightful landscaped garden and currently benefits from a gravel driveway and decked seating area, together with an attached garage.
