Situation

Carna is situated within a pleasant mix of similar residential and holiday let properties in the upper part of Tobermory.  It enjoys an open, south-westerly aspect with glimpses of Tobermory Bay to the rear.  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

Carna is a detached bungalow of timber construction with a pitched, tiled roof.  In good order both externally and internally, the property sits in a sunny plot with good views to the rear, and benefits from double glazing and electric heating. 

Inside the accommodation is well laid out and would make an ideal permanent home, second home or holiday let. 

The lounge is a bright room with north-west facing windows and French doors which lead out into the rear garden from which can be glimpsed views of Tobermory Bay.  There are natural wood finishes, neutral décor and a fitted carpet.

Leading from the lounge, the fully fitted kitchen is bright and modern with an ample array of beech-effect floor and wall units, a high-gloss worksurface and stainless steel fittings.  Three windows above the sink offer a pleasant view across the decking, rear garden and towards Tobermory Bay, and the room is warm and bright with white tiling to the upstands, downlights and neutral décor.

Each of the bedrooms face towards the front of the property and have space for a double bed, as well as fresh décor, fitted carpets and natural wood finishes.  Bedroom 2, accessed from the lounge, has a television point and wooden display shelves.

The shower room has white sanitary ware and a standalone shower cabinet with a Respatex wall covering and an electric shower.  There is a shaver light and socket, a heated towel rail and a wall mounted vanity cabinet with mirrored door.  A large frosted glass window faces south east and there is a tile-effect laminate floor.

Outside, the property sits in a sizeable, elevated south-east facing plot with lovely views to the rear across pleasant gardens down towards Tobermory Bay.  Laid to grass and bordered by post and rail fencing, the garden is easily maintained and has a patio, an area of decking on which to sit and admire the view, a garden shed and a covered car port for off street parking.
