Property description
This attractively presented and extremely well maintained Victorian villa enjoys an open outlook over parts of the village towards Loch Etive and Ben Cruachan from its elevated position.
Connel is a sought-after lochside village, noted for its landmark iron bridge which spans the tidal rapids known as the Falls Of Lora. Situated some five miles east of Oban, the principal town of the West Highlands, it offers an excellent range of village amenities and services which include a well stocked general store/post office, a modern medical centre, primary schooling in the nearby village of Benderloch, churches and two licensed hotels with restaurants. The village enjoys good transport links by road and rail to the central belt with Connel Station being a stop on the Oban to Glasgow line.
This attractively presented and extremely well maintained Victorian villa enjoys an open outlook over parts of the village towards Loch Etive and Ben Cruachan from its elevated position. Mount Pleasant has been extensively upgraded by the current owners, including the addition of a rear extension, whilst being mindful of retaining many of the fine original features associated with a property of this era. Of particular note is the impressive staircase which opens up to a galleried landing and the principal bedroom with full height windows allowing light to fill the room, with the added benefit of excellent storage throughout and an oil-fired heating system. The arrangement of the accommodation allows for versatile living with one of the four bedrooms being on the ground floor, which could easily be utilised as a study or second sitting room. The tiered garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped adds to the appeal of this charming home.
