Set on the shore in the sailing village of Tayvallich, this traditional stone cottage offers outstanding Loch Sween views and immediate access to the slipway. The semi-detached home blends original character with practical upgrades: double glazing, LPG central heating and a glazed sun porch that frames the water. A substantial stone outbuilding with power and plumbing is a major plus for boats, bikes or a workshop.
Arranged over two floors, the layout suits family life or a holiday base: open-plan kitchen/lounge, dining room, ground-floor double with en-suite, plus two first-floor doubles and a family bathroom. The tiered rear garden has two elevated seating areas for enjoying sunsets and is low-maintenance with planted beds and decking. Village amenities – pub, shop, café and primary school – are yards away, with Lochgilphead a short drive for wider services.
Important practical points: the property is small in overall floor area and uses LPG heating, and the EPC is F42 which indicates higher energy costs and scope for thermal improvements. Parking is on-street only. Broadband is average though mobile signal is excellent. Given its coastal location and village setting, routine maintenance and weatherproofing will be ongoing considerations.
For buyers drawn to coastal living and sailing, the cottage represents a rare combination of location, storage for marine gear and immediate shore access. It will particularly appeal to families or active retirees seeking a compact, characterful home they can personalise and improve to reduce running costs.
