Summary - TIGH-AN-DUIN, GLENMORE ROAD, OBAN PA34 4PG
5 bed 2 bath Character Property
Spacious family home with elevated garden and parking rights.
Prominent Victorian villa with original period features throughout
Tigh an Duin is a substantial Victorian villa set on about 0.3 acres in an elevated position with partial sea views towards the Isle of Kerrera. The house retains many original features — carved wooden entrance door, pitch pine staircase, plaster cornicing and bay windows — offering strong character and immediate curb appeal. Generous reception rooms, five bedrooms (including a study/5th bedroom) and off-street prescriptive parking make it well suited to a family home or a holiday-let/investment opportunity.
The property requires upgrading and modernisation to reach its potential; heating is electric and the EPC is rated G (20). Internally the layout is traditional and spacious, but dated bathrooms, kitchen finishes and some general wear mean refurbishment will be necessary. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal; purchasers should factor in costs for modern heating, insulation and connectivity improvements.
Outside, mature trees, established hedging and a paved front patio create privacy and attractive outdoor space. The elevated garden and parking area below are practical assets for town living with a semi-rural feel. Access rights for parking are included, easing a common town-centre parking constraint.
This villa suits buyers seeking a character home with scope to modernise, families wanting space close to Oban’s amenities, or investors targeting short‑term holiday lets in a buoyant local market. Important negatives are the low EPC rating, need for renovation, and slow broadband; these are offset by the size, character features and desirable elevated setting.
