Rowan Cottage sits in the coastal village of Port Appin on the shores of Loch Linnhe, where white cottages, sea air and mountain backdrop combine to create one of Argyll’s most enduringly popular settings.
The village itself feels measured and welcoming, with a community shop, hotels, harbour views and a steady rhythm shaped by tide and season rather than traffic.
This three bedroom detached cottage has been sympathetically extended over time, retaining its original character while offering the flexibility required for modern living.
The sitting room holds a more intimate atmosphere, centred around a multi fuel stove and staircase that rises to the upper floor, giving the space a sense of warmth and enclosure.
In contrast, the kitchen and dining area open out more generously, with a fitted modern kitchen and Rayburn forming a natural gathering point for family meals and conversation.
The flow between these spaces allows the house to feel both cosy and connected, with the extension blending quietly into the original structure.
The bathroom sits on the ground floor and is arranged with both bath and separate shower, alongside practical utility space that supports daily life without demanding attention.
Upstairs, three bedrooms sit beneath coombed ceilings, each offering straightforward proportions and views towards the village and surrounding landscape.
Attached to the cottage is a stone built byre, currently used as a games and hobby room, providing a substantial additional space with mezzanine storage above.
This byre offers genuine versatility, whether as workshop, studio or further family room, subject to the necessary consents, and adds depth to the overall footprint of the property.
Outside, the mature level garden wraps around the cottage, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by low stone walls, shrubs and established planting that give privacy without closing the space in.
Gravel pathways and a parking area sit comfortably within the grounds, and timber stores add further practical storage.
Port Appin itself remains highly sought after, not only for its scenery but for its community life, village hall events and access to the wider West Highland towns of Oban and Fort William.
From here, ferries to Lismore, coastal walks and views across Loch Linnhe towards the mountains define daily experience in a way few locations can match.
Rowan Cottage represents a home that balances character and adaptability, offering a traditional Highland setting with space to shape life according to changing needs.
The property is being marketed by Dawsons Estate Agents, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
