Ardreoch, Kilchrenan, By Taynuilt, PA35

Kilchrenan is a small, picturesque village on the north side of Loch Awe, reached via a six-mile long section of the B845 road through Glen Nant from the A85 at Taynuilt. There is a thriving local community with the village hall and excellent inn ( being the focal point of village activities and groups. There is also a church and two superb loch-side hotels nearby which are renowned for their cuisine. Loch Awe is Scotland's longest fresh water loch and one of its most picturesque with wooded shores and numerous small islands which can be explored by boat. It is also noted for the quality of its trout fishing. The entire area is one of great natural beauty and provides almost unlimited scope for outdoor sporting and leisure pursuits. The nearby village of Taynuilt offers an extremely good range of amenities which includes shops, a post office, health centre, churches, primary school, tea room and a popular 9 hole golf course. There is also a modern sports pavilion which hosts many team sporting events and clubs. Taynuilt Railway Station is a stop on the Glasgow to Oban line and there is a regular bus service to the central belt. The principal West Highland town of Oban provides a more comprehensive selection of shops, leisure facilities and professional services and is around an 18 mile drive from Kilchrenan.

Ardreoch is an impressive double bay fronted Victorian property of grand proportions which is situated along the single track road that skirts the shores of Loch Awe and is sufficiently elevated to command far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and towards the loch. Enjoying elegantly proportioned and extremely versatile accommodation, the current owner has sympathetically modernised the property, whilst still retaining many of the original characteristics associated with a property of its time, including ornate ceiling roses and cornicing, and it now presents as a most stylish and exquisite home with an abundance of elegance and charm.

The amenity of Ardreoch is most pleasantly enhanced by its glorious mature garden, extending to around one acre, which has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide areas of lawn interspersed with an interesting variety of plants, shrubs and bushes, together with a further area of woodland ground, which all adds to the appeal of this exceptional home.
