Ardlonan is a substantial detached family home set on an elevated plot within easy walking distance of Oban town centre. The house offers spacious, versatile rooms across two storeys, strong built‑in storage and generous front and rear gardens that provide privacy and scope for outdoor living or landscaping.
The property’s practical strengths include three bedrooms each with en‑suite shower rooms, a large bay‑front sitting room with period features, a dining kitchen and an effective gas‑fired central heating system. From upper rooms there are partial views across rooftops towards McCaig’s Tower — a pleasant town outlook from an established residential street.
Important negatives are clear and factual: the house needs upgrading and modernisation throughout, the EPC is D65, broadband speeds are average and the local area records high deprivation. Council Tax Band F means running costs are higher than average. Buyers should expect refurbishment work to modernise interiors, services and finishes to contemporary standards.
For families seeking space, character and a private garden close to town, Ardlonan offers strong improvement potential. It will particularly suit purchasers prepared to invest in updating to unlock value and adapt the home to modern family living, or those who value the plot, outlook and internal space and can accommodate a renovation programme.
