Description

An immaculately presented five-bedroom detached property, a wonderful family home set within mature gardens extending to approximately 1.7 acres, located on the fringe of the picturesque village of Kilninver

Situated in an elevated position and benefitting from panoramic countryside views, Kickshaws offers buyers an opportunity to acquire an immaculately presented five-bedroom detached property, a wonderful family home set within mature gardens extending to approximately 1.7 acres.

The property is accessed from the parking area, with the main entrance door leading into a vestibule/boot room, before extending through to a central hallway. To the left of the hallway, a combined kitchen and dining room is positioned to the rear of the property, a glorious space in which to entertain family and friends.

The kitchen design features a range of fitted wall and floor cabinets, complimented by a contrasting solid wooden worktop. An island unit sits centrally within the kitchen, featuring twin sinks set within a stainless worktop. A glazed brick wall divides the kitchen from the hallway, one of many stunning features throughout this architect designed property. A door to the rear of the kitchen gives access to a utility room, which, in turn, gives access to the rear garden.

Glazed doors link the hallway to the lounge, which is located to the front of the house, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning far-reaching views. A multi-fuel stove sits within the fireplace, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. Triple aspect windows give the room a bright and airy feel, with patio doors opening to an external terrace, expanding the living space to the outdoors, perfect for al-fresco dining. The property benefits from Junckers solid beech flooring, running throughout the kitchen, living room and hallway.

A quirky curved corridor leads from the central hallway, giving access to two ground-floor bedrooms, the largest of which features an en-suite bathroom and walk-through dressing room. Also accessed from the hallway, a home design office offers a creative space in which to work, also offering alternative use as a craft room or overflow accommodation, as required. A stylish family bathroom is also located on the ground floor, well specified with Jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower.

Further accommodation is provided on the upper floor, where three sizeable bedrooms are located. Velux windows are fitted within a coombed ceiling design, flooding the rooms with natural daylight, giving the upper floor a bright and airy feel. A family shower room is also located on the upper floor, accessed from the landing area. The landing is also large enough to accommodate a futon, offering overflow accommodation.

Much thought has been given to the interior architecture and bespoke design of this unique property, resulting in a truly stunning living space.

Kickshaws is accessed from the road by a gated, private driveway, rising to give access to a large gravel parking area to the left-side of the house. The property sits within welltended grounds, extending to approximately 1.7 acres in total.

Exposed bedrock creates a natural feature within the gardens. A wide variety of mature shrubs, bushes and trees offer a seasonal display throughout the year, creating a relaxing space in which to walk, with a meandering path leading down to a pond and burn, which runs along the boundary.

Beyond the gardens lies a paddock, in which chickens roam freely. A sizeable storage shed houses the garden machinery, also offering workshop space as required. A polytunnel is also positioned within the paddock, offering a wide variety of homegrown produce. A woodshed, greenhouse and storage shed are located to the rear of the property.

Kickshaws is located just 11 miles south of Oban in a quiet and peaceful rural location, with far-reaching views along Scammadale Glen.

Within commuting distance of both Oban and Lochgilphead, the property provides an ideal opportunity to enjoy a rural existence with stunning scenery and an abundance of wildlife – with regular sightings of deer and birds of prey – as well as the benefits of town amenities, just a short drive away.

It is also well-known as the "Gateway to the Isles" with the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry terminal which serves the Inner Hebrides as well as Barra and South Uist. The town has a wide range of shops, leisure facilities, bars, restaurants and professional offices, with links to Glasgow by a rail.
