The Schoolhouse, Kilmelford, By Oban, PA34 4XA

The picturesque, rural village of Kilmelford is scattered around the shores of Loch Na Cille, situated on the A816 between the towns of Oban (about 15 miles) and Lochgilphead (about 21 miles) and enjoys a thriving community life with local services including a village hall which is the focal point for many activities, groups and functions, a hotel, restaurant, parish church and boatyard. Primary schooling is provided in the nearby village of Kilninver and secondary education in Oban, with a bus service providing transport to both. The nearby village of Ardfern has an extremely well stocked shop with post office, a cafe and a hotel with pub and restaurant. The surrounding area is steeped in history with an abundance of flora and fauna and abounds with outdoor sporting and leisure opportunities including shooting, fishing and hill walking and is particularly renowned for its excellent sailing waters, with the yachting marinas of Ardfern and Craobh Haven close by.

The Schoolhouse is a most appealing property with character and charm in abundance and from its elevated position on the fringe of the village, commands most pleasant far reaching countryside views combined with an excellent degree of privacy. The property was originally the village school with head teacher's accommodation, and has been sympathetically converted with the school room itself now providing an impressive and spacious sitting/dining room with large windows and high ceiling, filling the room with natural light and with the multi-fuel stove being the focal point. Linked by a good sized entrance hall, the kitchen and further accommodation provide an interesting contrast with a more traditional cottage style feel, retaining much of the original features. The delightful established garden surrounding The Schoolhouse adds greatly to the amenity of this unique and most desirable home.
