4 bedroom house

*Closing Date set for Thursday 21st April at 12 noon* An elegant, stone-built four bedroom detached house, sitting in a wonderful rural setting on the fringe of the coastal village of Kilchoan.



Set in a wonderful rural setting on the fringe of the coastal village of Kilchoan, Tarmachain offers buyers an opportunity to acquire an elegant stone-built property, sitting under a traditional slate roof.

Constructed in 1876 and originally commissioned as the Free Church Manse, the property enjoys a wide range of traditional features including high ceilings, detailed ceiling cornices and open fireplaces.

The property is entered from the front, with an entrance vestibule leading through to a central hallway. To the left, a magnificent sitting room features a wood burning stove set on a slate hearth, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. To the right of the hallway, the drawing room is generously proportioned and offers open views across the front gardens towards the Sound of Mull.

A charming farmhouse style kitchen extends through to a dining room, warmed through by a feature solid fuel Rayburn stove, the beating heart of the house. The ground floor layout is completed by a functional utility room and boot room with WC, located to the rear of the property.

The staircase leads from the hallway to a spacious upper floor landing which, in turn, gives access to four bedrooms and a generously proportioned and stylish family bathroom. One of the bedrooms benefits from en-suite facilities, while an additional WC is also located within the first-floor layout.

Tarmachain sits peacefully within mature gardens, extending to around 0.6 Acres. A sweeping private driveway leads to parking for several vehicles before continuing to the house.

A lean-to extension sits against the east elevation, providing workshop and storage space, while a summer house is located to the west side of the garden. The gardens follow the contours of the hillside, extending up behind the house.

The property faces southeast, enjoying far reaching views across the local countryside to the coast, and beyond, to the Isle of Mull.

Tarmachain is located in the small West Coast village of Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula which boasts natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife. Kilchoan village has a shop with petrol station, a primary school and hotel. More extensive facilities are available in Fort William. In addition, there is a car
ferry link to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, 35 minute journey, regular crossings and good shopping.

The wider Ardnamurchan peninsula is renowned as the most westerly area of the British mainland. The peninsula is a wild and unspoilt area, particularly known for wildlife including Red Deer, pine martins, otters as well as both Golden and Sea Eagles. The area is steeped in history with Viking settlements and a number of castles including both Glenborrodale and the older and recently restored Mingary Castle. The peninsula is accessed via the Corran Ferry at Ardgour near Fort William in the east, from Lochaillort in the north, or by ferry from Isle of Mull.

Specifications include mains electricity, mains water, private drainage, oil fired central heating, solid fuel stoves, Wi-Fi and telephone connectivity.
