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
Stewart Balfour and Sutherland are delighted to bring to the market this superbly presented GROUND FLOOR FLAT which boast lovely period features throughout.
There is plenty of space for families and this would equally be ideal for those looking for the ease of living on the level. EARLY VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OF THIS QUALITY HOME.
This ground-floor property represents a rare opportunity to purchase a significant portion of a detached villa in the sought-after Manse Brae area of Lochgilphead.
Built around 1897, the villa remained within the same family for over sixty years before being divided into two separate dwellings around 40 years ago.
Today, it serves as a substantial family home that combines historical architecture with practical living spaces, including a kitchen, dining room, lounge, three bedrooms (with a master en-suite), a family bathroom, and an entrance porch.
The interior is notable for its well-preserved Victorian detail. The property retains all of its original features, including elaborate cornicing, ceiling roses, and deep skirting boards.
All internal doors are original wood, fitted with round brass knobs and ornate iron mongery.
Functionality meets history with the inclusion of original wooden window shutters that remain in full working order.
The entrance porch features original decorative tiling, and the large wooden front door still houses its original ornate glass panel.
For heating and efficiency, the home is equipped with oil-fired central heating throughout.
The living areas offer additional heat sources, including an open coal fire in the lounge and a wood burner in the dining room, providing a balance of modern utility and traditional atmosphere.
The exterior grounds are well-suited for gardening and storage. There is a shared driveway leading to the property, with generous garden areas located at both the front and the rear.
These outdoor spaces include a patio area and very useful outbuildings, providing ample space for outdoor maintenance and leisure.
From the front of the house, there are clear views overlooking the head of Loch Gilp and the hills situated above the Crinan Canal.
The property is conveniently located within Lochgilphead, a town that supports a wide range of local amenities.
Residents have access to independent shops, a post office, and several restaurants and bars.
Both the modern integrated health facility and the new school campus are within a ten-minute walk of the town centre.
For recreation, the area offers a golf course, swimming pool, sports centre, and all-weather football pitches, while the surrounding west coast countryside provides extensive options for outdoor activities.
