Description
Barvrack House was completed in the 1980’s, its exterior appearance suggesting a home of an older period vintage. It is of white painted harled exterior with contrasting taupe coloured painted smooth ashlar at window mullions and doors, and all is under a slated roof.

Internally, the accommodation is presented in first class decorative order and condition, with apartments laid out over three light and bright and easily managed levels. There is good quality kitchen and bathroom ware with complementary coloured ceramics and there is excellent use of painted timber panelling to dado height in numerous rooms. Externally there are a range of convenient and flexible outhouses as well as a timber clad outbuilding which lends itself suitable for a number of uses. Barvrack House is set in well established, well maintained and colourful gardens and grounds which are protected by deer fencing and cattle grids. The house has a wonderfully private setting with no immediate neighbours. It enjoys all associated with rural living and yet is only a few short minutes from the range of everyday amenities at Inveraray.

Situation
Barvrack House is situated about 2 miles south of the Argyll & Bute Loch Fyne-side town of Inveraray.

The house enjoys a private elevated setting amid surrounding countryside, farmland and woodlands. The location and the general area can be easily described as a situation of great natural scenic beauty with its far reaching southerly and northerly views to Loch Fyne and the surrounding mountains and glens.

Inveraray is a classic 18th century planned town that was built on the site of an early fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. The town is known as the western gateway to the Highlands and Islands. There is a good range of local shops and provisions stores including a mid-size co-op. There are also boutique type specialist shops, cafés and restaurants including the Samphire Seafood restaurant which sells mainly locally sourced produce. The George Hotel has always drawn people to the area and has an enviable reputation for providing award winning food and drink as well as hosting regular live entertainment at the weekends. Loch Fyne Oysters is also a destination eatery located to the north of the town at the head of Loch Fyne.

Glasgow, about 63 miles away, offers a full range of higher and further education services, as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city. The A83 and A82 offer swift access to central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (25 miles) providing access to the main west coast line to Glasgow. Inveraray is also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban.

The locality of Loch Fyne-side offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits. The forest tracks around Barvrack House offer lovely country walks and safe off-road cycle routes.

Inveraray has a 9-hole golf course, the nearest 18 hole course is at Lochgilphead.

Mid-Argyll presents some of the most dramatic seascapes and landscapes on the West Coast of Scotland. Sea, river and loch fishing are easily available, as are a number of organised private and commercial low ground shoots as well as deer-stalking. There are excellent opportunities for boating/yachting on Loch Fyne, leading not only to the Clyde estuary but also to the Crinan Canal across the Mull of Kintyre to the Hebrides and the Atlantic.
