Situation

25 Breadalbane Street is situated within a pleasant mix of attractive residential properties in the upper part of Tobermory.  It enjoys far reaching views, particularly from the upper floor, towards Tobermory Bay and beyond down the Sound of Mull.  It is within easy walking distance of Tobermory’s bustling Main Street and its colourful harbour. 

The Isle of Mull

The second largest of the Inner Hebrides, Mull is a highly accessible island, being reached by a forty-five minute vehicular ferry from Oban.  Services from Lochaline on Morvern and Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula are also available.  There is a small airstrip at Glenforsa suitable for private aircraft and a main line train service from Glasgow to Oban with some trains connecting with the ferry. 

The colourful harbour town of Tobermory is a popular tourist destination and as such provides an excellent range of dining, cultural and shopping opportunities as well as standard services, including a medical centre, churches, a high school with a primary section, and good sports facilities including a scenic nine-hole golf course.  

Outside the buzz of Tobermory, the Isle of Mull boasts extraordinary and diverse scenery. From the dramatic Gribun cliffs and the shark-fin peak of Ben More to the white sands of Calgary Bay, Mull has undoubted appeal for all. A multitude of sea lochs give Mull over 500km of coastline to be explored by kayaks, yachts, divers or on land by foot or mountain bike. The awe-inspiring landscape is also a strong draw for artists of every discipline. 

Accompanying the varied scenery is a diverse range of wildlife. Mull is home to a variety of rare birds including golden eagles, white-tailed sea eagles and hen harriers. The island is famous for its roaming herds of red deer, and otters may be seen dining on wild brown trout on the Sound of Mull, or sea otters playing in secluded bays. Cetacean and shark-watching trips are a favourite with tourists, as are trips to the Treshnish Isles to visit the local puffin and seal populations or to Staffa to admire the stunning geology of Fingal’s Cave. 

Due to its size and diverse range of attractions, Mull has a longer tourist season than many of the other Hebridean islands, still receiving large numbers of visitors into October. The island also hosts a number of music and arts festivals throughout the year.

Description

No. 25 Breadalbane Street is a traditional property with an attractive cottage-style appearance with contrasting painted stonework and double glazed leaded windows.  It is stone built under a slate roof with a full width and full height pitched and slated roof extension at the rear.  

The layout of the accommodation is such that it could be adapted to suit a purchaser’s needs and it has, in the past, been operated as a small B & B.  The welcoming and bright entrance hall has doors off at either side leading to the sitting room and living room/dining room and a cloakroom situated under the stairs.  The staircase is a most attractive feature as it curves up to the first floor landing where a bedroom, bathroom and a shower room are situated within the rear extension.  The staircase continues to the upper landing where there are two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom all situated to the front and enjoying sea views.  The kitchen is located in the rear extension and is reached through the living room/dining room.  The kitchen has a dining area and a glazed door which opens to the very private patio and rear garden. 

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and is double glazed. 

The rear garden is very private with a paved patio flanked by stone walls.  The garden is attractively terraced with concrete steps to the different levels.  The mature garden has an abundance of flowering shrubs and plants and a grassed drying green. 

There is an outside tap and outside light, whilst at the  top of the garden at the rear lane there is a useful timber garden shed – one half of which is suitable for greenhouse use.  In addition, there is hard standing for one car.
