Kilchrenan is a small, picturesque village on the north side of Loch Awe, reached via a six-mile long section of the B845 road through Glen Nant from the A85 at Taynuilt. There is a thriving local community with the village hall and excellent inn () being the focal point of village activities and groups.  There is also a  church and two superb loch-side hotels nearby which are renowned for their cuisine. Loch Awe is Scotland’s longest fresh water loch and one of its most picturesque with wooded shores and numerous small islands which can be explored by boat. It is also noted for the quality of its trout fishing. The entire area is one of great natural beauty and provides almost unlimited scope for outdoor sporting and leisure pursuits. The nearby village of Taynuilt offers an extremely good range of amenities which includes shops, a post office, health centre, churches, primary school, tea room and a popular 9 hole golf course.  There is also a modern sports pavilion which host many team sporting events and clubs.  Taynuilt Railway Station is a stop on the Glasgow to Oban line and there is a regular bus service to the central belt.  The  principal West Highland town of Oban provides a more comprehensive selection of shops, leisure facilities and professional services and is around an 18 mile drive from Kilchrenan.


West Manse House is a charming traditional property, of considerable character, originally built in the nineteenth century as a church with attached manse.  It has undergone progressive restoration over the decades and has more recently been adapted to provide two separate apartments with external accesses, to accommodate the current owners requirements of a residential property on the ground floor, with separate studio, offices and small kitchen on the first floor.  However, it could easily be converted back to a more traditional layout with the re-instatement of the internal staircase, subject to application to Argyll & Bute Council.  Alternatively, the property could be utilised for extended family use or letting purposes.  


West Manse House is set on the edge of the village and from its elevated position enjoys delightful aspects of the surrounding countryside and is framed by mature gardens extending to over half an acre.  The property benefits from a biomass boiler system, augmented by an open fire and multi-fuel stove.   A particular feature of  note is the extremely well fitted kitchen, providing excellent storage, open plan to the dining and sitting room, which leads on to the large conservatory and in turn to the sunny terrace,  all adding to the appeal of this fine property which offers extremely versatile accommodation.
