Ardeneden, Tighnabruaich, Argyll, PA21

Ardeneden is a substantial Victorian villa with eight bedrooms, accommodation across four levels and generous grounds in a distinctive coastal village setting. Its scale, period character and flexible layout offer a rare canvas to reshape as a large family home or another suitable use, subject to consents. The exterior shows deterioration around upper window openings and weathered entrance steps; the listing and Home Report describe significant work across the building and services, including potential damp, roof, walls, windows and heating. This is a full restoration project, not a cosmetic update.

The 39/100 E grade reflects limited evidence on value and renovation economics, alongside the scale of the work—not a finding that the price is dear. Floor area is missing from the valuation data, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The listing gives an approximate area of 380m², but the comparison still needs usable floor-area data. Although the listing mentions an auction date, no guide price is supplied here; if bidding takes the hammer above the stated £369,995 asking figure, the eventual purchase cost will be higher.
