About this property

  • Far View Cottage is a fantastic detached villa, constructed of stone under a slate roof with the internal floor area totalling around 2885 sq ft. Over the years the original property has been greatly extended to offer a very versatile layout depending on an owner's needs. In its current configuration, Far View Cottage, in addition to the main home, offers a stylishly presented self-contained annexe apartment over two floors, with an open plan living area and kitchen on the ground floor and two en suite bedrooms on the first floor. This apartment could be used for short, or alternatively could be easily reincorporated into the original house if desired.

    The original portion of the property begins with an entrance vestibule which opens into a
    welcoming reception hallway with staircase leading up. There is a well-proportioned living room with woodburning stove and an internal hallway with storage off. This leads through into the well-appointed kitchen and dining area which includes contemporary fitted cabinetry, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances. Off here is a large plumbed utility area. Completing the ground floor of the main house is a double bedroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms (one with an en suite) and a bathroom.

    Externally the garden of Far View Cottage has been designed to take full advantage of the view over the Sound of Mull and out towards the Isle of Coll. To the rear of the property is a former campsite that still has four caravan pitches with electrical hook-ups and a separate camping pod. This could be expanded and developed by new owners.

The views are fantastic. I like that you could reinstate the campsite.

Local information

  • Far View Cottage is situated in the village of Kilchoan towards the western end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, the most westerly point on the British mainland. The area has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Scotland and includes rugged mountains, sea lochs and miles of coastline and sandy beaches.
  • The Ardnamurchan peninsula offers a wealth of activities for the outdoor enthusiast. The landscape is ideal for hill and coastal walking, with magnificent walks to the summit of Ben Hiant, the highest point on the peninsula. Other places of interest are the golden sands of Sanna Bay, the former crofting hamlet of Portuairk, the Ardnamurchan Point lighthouse, Mingary Castle dating back to the Spanish Armada and Kilchoan Old Kirk, which reputedly dates from the 12th/13th century.
  • The area is noted for being very unspoilt and undisturbed, and offers opportunities for stalking and fishing. Ardnamurchan is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, from golden eagles, otters and wildcat to whales and dolphins.
  • Kilchoan provides a good selection of local amenities including the Kilchoan Hotel, which has a restaurant and bar, a village shop and Post Office, a church and local community centre.
