The front gardens have been beautifully planted with an array of colourful flower beds and bushes, offering year-round interest, all bounded by a hedge. The paved pathway wraps around the extent of Creag Mhor to rear gardens which are laid mainly to lawn with a pathway that wends its way down to a pretty stream which brings a great sense of peace and tranquillity to the gardens; a timber footbridge crosses the stream to an area of wild garden which is further bounded by a stone wall.

Situation
Creag Mhor is a detached bungalow-type property which enjoys light and bright accommodation laid across one easily managed level. Externally the property is completed in a combination of pebble dash, with brick-built relief and contrasting larch cladding over the attached single garage, all neatly presented under a dark grey tiled roof.
The house enjoys a sheltered position from the minor, single track road that runs from the B8025, and from where there are partial aspects out across the pretty bay of Loch a’ Bhealaich. Lochgilphead, about 11.2 miles to the east, is the main town of the district.
Tayvallich is a picturesque fishing village situated on the shores of Loch Sween. It is a popular and sheltered yachting haven with its spectacular scenery and vibrant community which includes a restaurant, general store and shop along with many local artists. There is a beach just across at Carsaig Bay and many forestry walks in and around the peninsula. The village has its own primary school.
Crinan, with its little harbour, canal basin and anchorage, forms the western sea end of the Crinan Canal and in the summer months the canal is always a colourful spectacle with passing yachting, cruising and pleasure craft as they navigate the canal waterway to connect the inland sea lochs, the Clyde estuary and the Kyles of Bute with the more testing and scenically spectacular sailing waters of the Western Isles.
Lochgilphead (11.2 miles away, as mentioned) has a good range of local shops, a mid-sized Co-op supermarket and amenities that adequately cater for everyday needs and requirements. Further shopping facilities, including Tesco and M&S supermarkets, are available in Oban. It is possible to arrange grocery deliveries from both the Co-op and Tesco. Glasgow is the nearest major city and has a complete and extensive range of shopping, cultural, higher educational and leisure services normally associated with a major centre. Lochgilphead has both primary and secondary schooling with a school bus service which is also a service bus.
The area offers a fine range of relaxing outdoor pursuits with pleasant canal-side walks, cycle paths and more testing hill walks. Field sports are available in the area and include stalking, driven and walked up shooting as well as fishing, both sea and inland hill loch. The area is well known for its dramatic and natural scenic beauty, and this has always drawn people to the area, making it a popular tourist destination. The Mid-Argyll swimming pool is in Lochgilphead. There are hospitals in Lochgilphead – Mid Argyll Community Hospital and integrated Care Centre, and Oban – Lorne and Islands District General Hospital. A local bus service provides a local and city service, and the nearest main line rail station is at Oban.
