Summary - 8 CAIRNBAAN COTTAGES, CRINAN CANAL TOWPATH ROAD FROM LOCK 5 BRIDGE AND CONTINUATION TO ACCESS TO WOODGLEN PA31 8SJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact two-bedroom Victorian home with waterside views and private garden.
Canal-front cottage with direct towpath access and scenic views
Set directly by the Crinan Canal, this traditional two‑bedroom terraced cottage offers rare waterside charm and easy access to rural walking and cycling routes. The lounge enjoys dual views to the canal and a handsome multi‑fuel stove; an open plan stair links the ground floor living space to two double bedrooms above. A recently installed kitchen and modern bathroom with roll‑top bath bring practical comforts to the period interior.
Externally there is a private enclosed front garden, garden store and resident parking nearby, plus a small grass banking beyond the garden where residents sit to watch boats pass. The house is compact at around 55 sq.m (592 sq.ft) and laid out efficiently for comfortable everyday living or a holiday base. A short drive takes you to Lochgilphead for shops, health services and schooling.
Important practical notes: the EPC is E47 and heating is electric panel radiators (with the multi‑fuel stove as a useful supplemental heat source). Broadband speeds are reported slow and the wider area scores as very deprived, which may affect resale speed and some services. Overall, this is a characterful, affordable freehold cottage suited to buyers seeking a waterside retreat or starter home willing to accept modest energy performance and compact proportions.
