Take the right signposted Easdale and Isle of Seil onto the B844 and continue for 6 miles, crossing the Bridge over the Atlantic. Pass through the village of Clachan Seil and take the right signposted Ardencaple. Callanish is the first house on the left hand side at the top of the hill. Situation Callanish sits in an elevated and extremely private setting on the edge of the hamlet of Clachan Seil. The property has stunning views over Balvicar Bay towards the island of Shuna, with the peaks of Scarba and Jura visible in the distance. The closest of the southern Inner Hebrides and the only one accessible by bridge, Seil retains all the characteristics of the island heritage of the West Highlands. Located 12 miles south of Oban, the diamond-shaped island nestles close into the mainland, separated only by a narrow sound, over which spans the famous Bridge over the Atlantic. Built in the late 18th century and covered by fairy foxgloves in spring, the bridge remains the island s link to the outside world. Close by the west end of the bridge stands the Tigh an Truish, the House of the Trousers, now an inn. After the rebellion of 1745, when the wearing of the kilt was banned, islanders would change here into trews (trousers) before wading to the mainland. The pub remains the centre of many island activities and serves excellent locally sourced seafood. Balvicar, in the centre of the island, has an excellent local grocery store, post office, professional boatyard and the nine hole Isle of Seil Golf Course. To the south is the village of Ellenabeich, gateway to another small island, Easdale, reached by a passenger ferry. Both have pubs (The Oyster Bar and The Puffer respectively). North Cuan, a couple of miles to the southeast, is the terminal for the car ferry to Luing. There is a primary school at Ellenabeich and secondary schooling is at Oban High School. A school bus service operates. Local wildlife includes seals, otters, roe deer, herons, buzzards, swans, seabirds, occasional eagles and many colourful smaller bird species as well as pheasants. Porpoises, dolphins, basking sharks and Minke whales are all seen regularly in the surrounding waters. Divers find some of the clearest waters in the UK off the shores of Seil and the Garvellachs. Seil has excellent facilities for yachtsmen, both local and visiting, with anchorages providing shelter on passage from Crinan to the Sound of Mull. There is a variety of boat excursions, based at Seil Sound and Ellenabeich. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the Inner Hebridean climate can often be several degrees warmer than the mainland and it seldom freezes or snows in winter.
Description Callanish is a detached home situated in a much sought after elevated spot above Balvicar Bay. The property is very secluded and almost hidden from the roadside, yet has the most fantastic views over the bay towards the islands of Shuna and Scarba and Jura beyond. The house has been extended over time and offers the potential to split the property into two, as can be seen in the floorplan. The property is presented in excellent order with the accommodation set over one level. The main reception rooms are to the rear of the property to maximise the views. A welcoming entrance vestibule and hallway lead to the main living accommodation. Some of the finest views can be enjoyed from the drawing room which has an expanse of glass and a door which opens onto a wonderful terrace. Off the hallway is a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, which leads to a further sitting room. The main bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and breathtaking views, as does the adjacent study/bedroom. There is a family bathroom, wet room and utility room. A cloakroom leads into the extension, which has a further sitting/dining room with sliding glass doors onto a decked patio area with views, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower. This section of the house has its own access and could be used as independent accommodation. Gardens and grounds The gardens have been cleverly landscaped and are over a number of different levels. A series of gravel pathways meander through the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and bushes offering privacy, with a stone dyke along the western boundary. Two terraces, one stone and the other timber decked, are wonderful spots from which to enjoy the views, and offer plenty of space for a table and chairs. A private gated driveway leads from the road to the house, where there is ample room for parking. There is further parking available at the section of garden which is at road level.
