KILMAHUMAIG FARMHOUSE
CRINAN
BY LOCHGILPHEAD
Overlooking the River Add Estuary this historic family home is situated within approximately 2 acres of beautifully maintained garden grounds surrounded by the enchanting Crinan Wood which is part of the Woodland Trust. The tranquil setting attracts many different species of wildlife including red squirrels, and the garden has been specifically designed with an abundance of varied pollinators which only enhance the natural beauty of their surroundings.
Situated within the grounds of Kilmahumaig , The Barn Building contains three self contained holiday cottages which, due to their idyllic setting and comfortable accommodation, are occupied on a regular basis and can provide a healthy second income. Other outbuildings include a large agricultural shed (10m x 8m), a substantial boat shed and a small summerhouse, from which there are glorious panoramic views
Full of character, the accommodation throughout the house is extremely well proportioned with many of the original features having been retained or lovingly restored, including the wooden window shutters. The entrance vestibule leads through to the main hall accessing a splendid sitting room with feature fireplace, an attractive sun room , cloakroom and family room which is on open plan with the dining room. Just off the Dining room, there is access to the kitchen which is well fitted, has an Aga, large pantry and adjoining utility room. A lovely addition to the property, the garden room, can be accessed from either the front or rear of the house.
The staircase leads to the first floor landing having a family bathroom, nursery, and three bright, airy bedrooms one of which has a superb spacious shower room with extensive dressing area. The staircase continues to two spacious bedrooms in the attic floor from which there are beautiful elevated views of the scenic surroundings.
Barn Cottages comprise three self-contained cottages in the Barn building; North Barn sleeps 2; Middle Barn sleeps 4; South Barn sleeps 2.
