Summary - LAROCH, OBAN, KILMELFORD PA34 4XA
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Six-bedroom single‑storey home with private beach and panoramic loch views..
Direct private shoreline and pebble beach access
Set on a private stretch of Loch Melfort shoreline, Laroch is a substantial single‑storey family home offering sweeping loch and hill views from generous, well‑screened grounds. The house is arranged on one level with six bedrooms, three bathrooms and two large reception rooms, making it well suited to multigenerational living, frequent entertaining or a large family seeking space and privacy.
Outside, the garden slopes gently to a pebble beach and includes a decking area, mature planting and large gravel forecourt with ample off‑street parking. There is an option, via the local mooring association, to lay a mooring in Kames Bay – a useful feature for boating enthusiasts. Practical extras include a utility, office space and plentiful storage throughout the footprint of the home.
Important considerations: the property carries an EPC rating of F and the council tax is described as quite expensive. The setting is rural and relatively remote — Kilmelford is about 2 miles away and Oban around 18 miles — and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect services and resale comparables. Despite this, there is excellent mobile signal and fast broadband at the site.
Overall, Laroch offers rare direct shore access, substantial accommodation and striking views. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a private coastal residence with scope to personalise or upgrade energy performance and internal finishes to modern standards.
