An opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom detached property, set in an enviable coastal location within the community of Ardchatten, and benefitting from direct access to the shores of Loch Etive.
Situated in a glorious coastal setting within the welcoming community of North Connell, Tigh An T Siomain presents buyers with a rare opportunity to acquire a four bedroom detached coastal home, set along the beautiful shores of Loch Etive.
This characterful property is approached from the front elevation, where the main entrance opens into a bright glazed vestibule. From here, a ground floor bedroom
positioned to the front of the home
is conveniently accessed. A further door leads into a charming sitting room, where a multi fuel stove is set within an attractive stone fireplace, a focal point within the room.
From the sitting room, the layout extends through to a central hallway, which provides access to rooms situated to the rear of the house. To the left lies a spacious family lounge, enjoying dual aspect windows that fill the room with natural light, along with a glazed door opening directly onto the side gardens. A tiled fireplace houses a second multi fuel stove.
Two rear facing bedrooms benefit from built in wardrobe space and enjoy open coastal views. The hallway continues through to a third sea facing bedroom, while a hallway extension also provides access to the family bathroom.
To the right-hand side of the property, the hallway leads into a large kitchen, which similarly enjoys stunning coastal views. Adjacent to the kitchen is a shower room, and a rear doorway from the kitchen provides direct access to the attached garage, offering excellent potential for conversion, storage, or workshop use as required. A small utility room is accessed from the kitchen and, in turn, offers a convenient exit to the rear garden.
It should be noted that the property requires full renovation and modernisation throughout. The roof is in need of replacement, and a quotation for the works is available upon request from the selling agent.
The current internal layout, largely formed by partition walls and designed around the needs of the previous owners, offers excellent flexibility and could be readily reconfigured to suit the requirements and vision of new occupants.
Externally, the property is approached from the road via a pedestrian gate leading onto a gravel pathway. Off road parking is available directly in front of the garage. A stone wall forms the roadside boundary, while another stone wall defines the edge of the shore, where a gate provides pedestrian access down onto the shoreline, creating a truly unique coastal lifestyle opportunity.
