About this property
Oban 1.6 miles. 3 Ure Gardens, a well-positioned, three-bedroom bungalow, rests on the outskirts of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. Enjoying views of the bay and neighbouring hills, 3 Ure Gardens offers a homely, conveniently set abode for a family of six looking to tour this beautiful part of the country. Park up on the private driveway, climbing the external steps to reach your elevated position, taking in the breathtaking scenery from the front garden. Head indoors to reach the sitting room with plenty of plush seating to sink into while the chef of your group becomes acquainted with the kitchen/diner, filled with all the necessities for a self-catered stay. Prepare meals to be enjoyed indoors, around the dining table, or head outdoors to the rear decked area as the wine is poured and conversations flow. Three well-appointed bedrooms are on offer, including two doubles and a twin, all serviced by a bathroom and a cloakroom. Once you're ready to venture beyond your abode, head into the town, where you'll find a wide selection of shops, eateries, and pubs, including The Olive Garden and BAAB, enjoying views of the marina.
