Single‑level bungalow with sea views, garden, and garage-conversion potential..
South‑westerly waterside views toward Gigha and surrounding islands
Achintien is a detached, single-level bungalow set on the fringe of Tayinloan with elevated, south‑westerly views over the Sound of Gigha. The principal rooms are bright and face the water, and extensive oak flooring, moulded coving and a neutral décor give the house a comfortable, well‑kept feel. The garden is mature and private, with patios, lawns and practical outbuildings including a summer house and stores.
The former garage has already been converted to flexible workshop/store space and, subject to planning permission, could be reconfigured to provide additional bedroom and en suite accommodation—offering straightforward scope to increase living space or rental income. The property is on one easily managed level, making it attractive to downsizers or buyers seeking step‑free living. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and there is off‑street parking and generous vehicle turning space.
Buyers should note some practical factors: heating is by electric night storage with an open fire and back boiler, drainage is to a private septic tank, and council tax sits in band E (above average). The location is remote: mobile signal is average and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local services and resale dynamics. Despite this, the setting in an Area of Panoramic Quality and proximity to ferries, beaches and renowned golf links make the property appealing as a principal residence, holiday home or self‑catering investment.
