A keenly priced three-bedroom semi-detached villa on the Island of Seil, offered as a renovation project with clear potential to add value. The property occupies a sought-after setting in Balvicar with sizable front and rear gardens that, once cleared and landscaped, would provide useful outdoor space and improve kerb appeal. The building is a non-traditional mid-20th century “Cruden” steel-frame construction and will need a comprehensive programme of upgrading throughout.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a spacious lounge, kitchen, utility room and ground-floor shower room, plus three first-floor bedrooms. The living room retains character features such as a fireplace and wood flooring but many internal finishes are dated and there is visible wear; the house requires modernisation and refurbishment to meet contemporary standards. Services have not been tested and purchasers should allow for remedial works and surveys where necessary.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal and no recorded flood risk. Broadband is slow in the area and the property sits within a remoter, established farming community; travel to Oban (about 14 miles) is needed for wider services and hospital facilities. The sale will be by auction and buyers should note associated fees and the need to satisfy auction conditions when bidding.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a DIY buyer, small building firm or investor looking for a renovation project in a desirable coastal village. Be clear-eyed about the work required: this is a refurbishment/development proposition rather than a move-in-ready home.
