Enjoying glorious views down Lerags glen to Loch Feochan, Penlarach is a charming, detached Dorran cottage that benefits from rural seclusion yet is only minutes from central Oban, and a short walk from an award-winning country pub. Set in an acre and a half of land, Penlarach has been lovingly modernised by its current owners, and includes Detailed Planning Permission to build a stunning architect-designed, 4-bedroom, eco-friendly modern home within the grounds.

Though now a family home, in recent years Penlarach earned £30,000 per year as a holiday rental. A new owner can therefore choose from a range of development options including living in one property while renting out the other, selling either, or retaining a single dwelling to maximize the grounds.

The property is in excellent decorative order, combining modern heating and hot water systems and double glazing with more traditional touches such as solid wooden flooring and a multi-fuel burning stove. Decorated in neutral colours and benefiting from superb 270 degree views, Penlarach receives hours of natural daylight and sunshine throughout the year, and is warm and bright.

Penlarach’s accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule with shower room off, an immaculate and recently modernised kitchen, a spacious lounge with multi-fuel burner and a sun room with large picture windows facing down the glen, conservatory, three bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom. Outside, there is a double garage to the rear, which includes a fully insulated and sound-proofed home office/music studio with a decked balcony accessed through French doors. Although located conveniently close to Oban, the entire property offers immediate access to outdoor pursuits such as walking, wildlife watching, mountain biking, kayaking and sailing.

A short drive away is the vibrant seaside town of Oban, which provides a comprehensive range of cultural and commercial services including a wide variety of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars and sporting facilities. Known as ‘The Seafood Capital of Scotland’, the town is also the Gateway to the Isles, with ferry, train and plane services linking the islands to the mainland and the central belt.
