- Situation
- Description
Fearnoch View is situated on the northern shores of Loch Etive within the much sought-after village of North Connel. The property sits amongst properties of similar calibre and benefits from right of access over the field in front of the house to Loch Etive, enabling the owner to take full advantage of the loch and offering the possibility of laying a mooring.
Fearnoch View is a stunning, architect-designed, one and a half storey detached modern dwelling built in the Scottish vernacular with a pitched slate roof and a white rendered exterior. The front of the property faces south east, and commands beautiful views of Loch Etive and the surrounding hills. In addition, the property offers views of Connel Bridge and, as an added attraction, has its own waterfront access to the shore.
The countryside and mountains around Loch Etive are renowned for their beauty and diversity of wildlife. Loch Etive is not only famous for the Falls of Lora, which form an impressive entrance to the loch and can be viewed from the garden, but also the sea angling and game fishing in the rivers Awe and Orchy which drain into it.
Inside, the property is finished to an exceptionally high standard with modern, clean lines and neutral colours adding to the sense of spaciousness. Large windows, both standard and Velux, ensure that the property is light and airy, and offer unrestricted views of the spectacular scenery.
The mountains of Glencoe which are approximately one hour’s drive to the north provide exciting and enjoyable skiing.
The interior of the property offers maximum convenience for family life. There is a triple aspect lounge, which is bright and airy with a large, open fireplace. The kitchen/diner is open plan and beautifully-presented. The convenience factor is further enhanced by a shower room on the ground floor, in addition to a well-equipped utility room with washer and dryer. Upstairs, the bedrooms are all well proportioned with wonderful views and ample storage space. There is a modern family bathroom as well as an ensuite for one of the bedrooms. The interior requires floor coverings, but is otherwise in walk-in condition.
North Connel itself has no shops; however, an excellent hotel is situated approximately five minutes’ walk to the west of the house and general stores can be found in both Connel (1 mile) and Benderloch (2 miles). There is also a petrol filling station in Benderloch as well as a well respected primary school.
The town of Oban is located 5 miles away, and offers a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities. Oban also has a number of primary schools, a high school, a medical centre, a modern hospital, churches of various denominations and very good travel links by rail, bus, sea and air.
The garden has been newly-landscaped and is private, peaceful, and fenced all around, again making it ideal and safe for families with children. The property has extensive timber decking to the front, and this provides an extremely pleasant and sunny seating area, with views of the water and surrounding countryside.
Oban, known as the “Gateway to the Isles” is an expanding port with an attractive sea front and busy harbour from which the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries operate serving the Inner Hebrides and some of the Outer Hebrides.
The accommodation, with approximate sizes (for guidance purposes only) is as follows: The property is approached by steps up to timber decking. External fully-glazed double doors with 2 matching windows lead into a spacious entrance hallway.
