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.
