Tigh DarachDrimnin, Oban, Highland, PA80 5XZ

Tigh Darach occupies a remarkable position on the Morvern peninsula, approached via a private road and set within approximately seven acres of gardens and ancient woodland. Standing on an escarpment above Drimnin Bay, the house enjoys an ever-changing outlook across the water to the Isle of Mull, while below lie the historic stone pier and sheltered bay.

Designed to respond sensitively to its coastal surroundings, Tigh Darach is a striking oak-framed house of considerable architectural quality. The exposed timber structure forms a defining feature throughout the interior, combining traditional craftsmanship with light-filled contemporary living spaces. The principal accommodation is arranged around a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living area which forms the heart of the house. Double-height in scale and flooded with natural light, the space showcases substantial oak beams and glazed elevations that frame views of the surrounding gardens and water beyond, with wood-burning stove provides a natural focal point within the sitting area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous utility room with external access, providing excellent day-to-day practicality and additional storage.

In total, the house provides four bedrooms, including two en suites. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with the entire first floor devoted to the superb principal bedroom suite and main bathroom elevated above the rest of the house. The layout is ideally suited to family occupation, hosting guests, or use as a second home or lifestyle retreat. Amongst the most charming features is a concealed bookcase door leading from one of the bedrooms to a hidden twin room, creating a delightful space for children and guests alike and reflecting the individuality that characterises the house.

Outside, Tigh Darach benefits from an east and west veranda which provide sheltered places from which to enjoy the surrounding scenery and follow the sun throughout the day. The grounds extend to approximately seven acres and include sweeping lawns merge into areas of meadow and ancient woodland, creating a diverse and attractive landscape. Within the grounds are two traditional barns which offer excellent ancillary space and significant future potential, subject to the necessary consents, which lend itself particularly well to conversion into separate guest accommodation, a studio, home office or holiday letting unit, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents. A short term letting licence is already in place, offering potential for continued holiday letting should a purchaser wish to do so. Tigh Darach is available individually or as part of a wider portfolio opportunity. Associated properties include Tigh Na Mara and Druim Na Cracaig, both located nearby.
