GROUND FLOOR

Sitting room

This is a spacious, light and comfortable room which provides a panorama of Argyll scenery from its east and south-facing windows. These were designed with low sills, to take advantage of the splendid outlook.

There are two sofas, two arm chairs and a fitted window seat across the full width of the room. The open fireplace was built by an Argyll craftsman in the soft-colour, local Bonawe granite, and this is flanked by two glass-topped coffee tables.

The bookcase contains a fine range of Scottish books, covering history, archaeology, literature, wildlife, flowers and sea life. On the window seat there is an extensive collection of maps and guide books for the area, and a pair of binoculars for spotting wildlife from the sitting room. In addition there is a good selection of games, television set and DVD player.

Kitchen/dining room

This is a splendid large room, overlooking the loch, with a breakfast bar dividing the dining room from the kitchen. The beautiful maple kitchen was hand-built by Cotteswood, and features Spanish Pueblo handmade tile. It is excellently equipped, with a De Dietrich double oven, Neff ceramic hob, microwave with grill, freezer, fridge and dishwasher. French windows lead from the dining room onto the sheltered terrace and garden.

Leading off the kitchen, and adjacent to the back door and back lobby area, this is equipped with a washing machine, tumble drier, iron and ironing board. Its furnishing matches that of the kitchen.
