Millside Cottage is understood to date back to 1880 and is a traditional stone built Victorian cottage. In 1906, the property was in fact the telephone exchange for the area and adopted many guises before becoming a holiday cottage in the 1970s. The cottage has undergone a significant refurbishment in 2021. This included installation of an oil-fired central heating system, new kitchen and shower room, new walls and insulation. A new electric pump for the water supply was installed.

The principal rooms face the loch and are looking over land that is included in the sale. Benefiting from oil-fired central heating, the accommodation is over two storeys as follows:

Ground floor: entrance porch, sitting room (with wood burning stove), dining kitchen, shower room and utility room.

First floor: two double bedrooms.

Gardens and grounds
Millside sits within lovely private grounds. There is an enclosed area of garden to both the front and rear. Beyond there is a large area of grazing situated either side of the entrance drive which extends to about 3.42 acres. With livestock fencing, it could be used to create a couple of paddocks. The land is bordered to the north by an attractive burn and to the south by some mixed mature woodland. On the other side of the main road, there is an additional area of rough grazing and amenity woodland which extends to about 3.42 acres. There is also 118 metres of frontage to Loch Awe.
