Description

Cuil Cottage is a picturesque cottage dating back to the 16th century, set back from the banks of Loch Awe.

The accommodation on the ground floor begins with the entrance hall with sitting room, kitchen and main bathroom off. The cosy sitting room has a wood burning stove and full height patio doors leading out to the gardens.

The light and bright kitchen is well equipped with a range of high and low level cabinetry, along with a Rayburn range cooker and space for dining table. Stairs lead from the kitchen up to two charming double bedrooms. Each bedroom has vaulted ceilings, windows overlooking the gardens and access to in-built storage.

A one bedroom annexe adjoins the main accommodation, complete with shower room and utility space. Ladder steps lead to a floored attic room offering flexible space which is currently set up as an office.

Cuil Cottage sits within its own gardens, mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs and with a pretty stepping stone pathway and paved patio with outside table and chairs. Around the side of the property there is an elevated deck offering further opportunity to relax amongst the peaceful surroundings, and an additional garden shed and separate wood store. On the other side of the road is handy parking space for multiple vehicles.

Cuil Cottage has access rights to Loch Awe through the neighbouring land to launch a boat. There is an additional boat, trailer and outboard engine available by further negotiation.
