Situation

Number 25 St Conan’s Road is a charming semi-detached cottage situated at the end of the development benefiting from no passing traffic in an elevated position set back from the A85 Glasgow/Oban road, enjoying southerly views over Loch Awe. 

It is well-located on the fringe of a small development of similar type properties in the heart of the village.  The properties were originally built to house the workers employed by Hydro Electric.  However, the majority of the houses are now privately owned and the area of St Conan’s Road has proved equally popular with families seeking a permanent home and those seeking a second home/holiday retreat.

Loch Awe is one of Scotland’s largest and most picturesque freshwater lochs with its wooded shores and scattered small islands.  It attracts numerous visitors to the area, renowned for its salmon and trout fishing, as well as enticing climbers and walkers drawn to the Cruachan and Ben Lui mountain ranges.  There is a village store/post office, public house and a hotel all within easy walking distance of St Conan’s Road.  It has a village hall and a travelling bank calls twice a week with regular calls by a fishmonger and a library.  Lochawe has its own railway station and there is a school bus service to the high school at Oban and to the primary school at nearby Dalmally. 

The village of Dalmally is approximately 2 miles away and has a hotel, shop, health centre, pharmacy and a post office.  It also has a police station, a fire station and a scenic 9-hole golf course. 

From Oban and the north, take the A85 and continue through the villages of Connel and Taynuilt and into Lochawe village.  St Conan’s Road is on the left hand side of the road, just before St Conan’s Kirk which is on the right.  Follow directions above.
