Detached house for sale in Kentallen, Appin PA38

Desirable detached dwellinghouse

The Old Post Office forms a most charming detached dwellinghouse, located in the popular coastal village of Kentallen, ideally positioned with stunning views over Loch Linnhe, to the mountains beyond. Set against a mountain backdrop in generous, well-maintained garden grounds with private parking, the setting is further complemented by the property itself, which dates back to around 1945, and extended in 1999. Upgrades in recent years include a new roof, windows and external doors, whilst the property is also freshly, neutrally decorated throughout and flooded with natural light. In excellent order and beautifully presented, The Old Post Office benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing, and enjoys bright, airy and comfortable rooms. The split-level dining sun room and lounge, with French doors to the patio area, and large kitchen & breakfast room, are most attractive features. The property's layout provides the owners with flexible accommodation, and offers an idyllic holiday home as currently used, however it would also be ideally suited as a superb permanent family home, or as an investment opportunity for self-catering accommodation in a very buoyant holiday letting market.

Kentallen is a small village set along the coastline of Loch Linnhe.
