Summary - BALINOE FARMHOUSE, OBAN, KILMORE PA34 4QR
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Auction-led fixer in Oban — major renovation required, strong development upside.
Detached 3-bedroom bungalow with garage and garden
A rare vacant development plot in the Oban area — a detached 3-bedroom bungalow offered at auction and in need of full renovation. The single-storey layout includes a living room, kitchen-dining space, master bedroom with en suite, two further large bedrooms, garage and a garden. The lot is freehold and sits in a rural, remoter community setting with excellent mobile and fast broadband.
This property is offered without any planning permissions; any alteration or change of use (including serviced accommodation) would be subject to obtaining consents from the local council. The house requires comprehensive works throughout — structural, cosmetic and services — so it will suit builders, developers or investors prepared to manage a full refurbishment or rebuild project.
Location comparables in the area demonstrate strong upside for restored period properties, but note this lot is sold on an auction basis and is offered as seen. Practical positives include off-street parking and a garage, garden space and good connectivity for a rural site. Important negatives are the need for full renovation, no planning in place, higher-than-average council tax and the surrounding area’s high levels of deprivation, which may affect targeted rental yields or resale timescales.
For buyers seeking a project with development potential in a well-known coastal town, this property presents clear upside if planning and renovation budgets are managed. All planning enquiries must be directed to the local planning authority; purchasers should carry out full surveys and budget for major works and associated fees before bidding.
