Property description
Benview is a single storey, 4-bedroom villa comprising two linked pavilions situated on the Atlantic seaboard of Kintyre, Argyll, with panoramic views of the Western Isles.
It is set in an acclaimed two-acre garden which could be opened to the public. The main pavilion is an
architect-designed eco-house, super-insulated, with ground source underfloor heating; it has an open-plan, full-height (24’) living area under its pyramidal glass cupola providing a breathtakingly spacious and bright interior. Quality finishes create an ambience of understated contemporary luxury. The linked smaller pavilion, completely upgraded, and with LPG heating, offers a
versatility of use from ‘granny flat’ to letting cottage for garden lovers.
The single-storey villa, which is currently in use as a single house, is situated 15 miles from Tarbert and 22 miles from Campbeltown. It offers the following accommodation: entrance (with cloak/plant room off), leading to, in the main pavilion: hallway, bathroom, reading area, master bedroom with ensuite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, study/studio/bedroom, dining area, sitting area, and dining kitchen; and, in the smaller pavilion: utility room/kitchen, sitting/dining room, hall, bedroom, study/bedroom, and bathroom. Broadband speed throughout the property is approximately 5mbs.
Transport links are by road, sea and air, with Campbeltown/Machrihanish airport only 20 miles away.
