We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Portsonachan is a picturesque lochside community scattered along the shores of Loch Awe, Scotland's longest fresh water loch and one of its most scenic with its many islands and wooded shores and which is noted for the quality of its game fishing.
The town of Inveraray is about 14 miles away and provides an excellent range of shops, restaurants and visitor attractions, with Glasgow Airport being around 70 miles away.
Little Scotland is an attractively presented timber lodge, situated at the far end of a small ribbon of similar properties on the shore side of Loch Awe.
Equally well suited as an easily managed compact personal holiday retreat or for holiday letting purposes the comfortable accommodation benefits from an effective LPG gas central heating system.
A particular feature of note is the combined sitting/kitchen/dining room with direct access to the wrap around balcony with glazed balustrade, giving superb elevated views over Loch Awe.
The lodge also benefits from access to the shore frontage giving the owner Riparian Rights to fish from the shoreline or by boat and also provides ideal access for other water pursuits such as wild swimming or paddle boarding, which all adds greatly to the desirability of this property.
