Summary - FERRY HOUSE, OBAN, BONAWE PA37 1RL
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Newly renovated coastal home with planning consents and strong holiday-let income.
Waterfront plot with private foreshore and panoramic Loch Etive views
Set on the north shore of Loch Etive, Ferry House is a newly renovated four-bedroom detached home occupying a secluded waterfront plot. The house has been comprehensively upgraded with new insulated timber walls, larch cladding, double glazing, full rewiring and replumbing, a new kitchen and bathroom, and tasteful redecoration throughout. Renewable systems include air-source underfloor heating, a 4kW solar array with battery storage and an EV charging point, reducing running costs and supporting all-year occupancy.
The layout is welcoming and light, with an entrance porch and WC leading to a spacious kitchen and an open-plan living/dining area with a wood-burning stove. Four double bedrooms and a family bathroom provide comfortable sleeping capacity; many rooms enjoy panoramic views across the loch. The property has been used successfully as a holiday let, producing weekly income between £850 and £1,500 in the past year.
Outside, expansive decking and lawn lead down to private foreshore and direct shoreline access. The adjacent slipway provides a right to launch a boat (the slipway itself is not owned). Within the grounds sits a traditional stone byre with planning consent to convert to a three-bedroom house, and separate consent exists to build a new three-bedroom dwelling to the east; both consents are granted in perpetuity, enhancing development potential. An additional 5.53 acres with further shore frontage is available to purchase separately.
Practical considerations: the location is remote with very slow broadband and lies in a sparsely served, very deprived rural area, which may limit full-time working-from-home convenience. The house has a single family bathroom for four bedrooms and access/topography could restrict some development or large-vehicle movement. Overall, Ferry House offers rare waterfront seclusion, renewable running-cost advantages, and clear scope for additional residential development on the estate.
