DirectionsFrom Glasgow follow the M8 westbound and take the cut off for the Erskine Bridge. Cross the bridge and filter left (A82) signposted Crianlarich, following signs for Loch Lomond on the right hand side and continue to Tarbet. Turn right at Tarbet onto the A82 and on reaching Crianlarich turn left onto the A85 and continue to Oban. On entering Oban continue onto Dunollie Road and turn left into Deanery Brae. Turn right into Dalriach Road and continue beyond the leisure centre/swimming pool. Beyond the junction with Albert Road The Drury is on the right hand side.

SituationThe Drury occupies a prime elevated position with beautiful open views over Oban, the Sound of Mull and beyond to the Isles of Kerrera and Mull.

The town of Oban is the largest port in the west of Scotland and the main ferry terminus for the Hebrides. Ferries from Oban serve Mull and many of the inner Hebridean islands as well as Barra and South Uist in the Western Isles. Oban (meaning ‘little bay’ in Gaelic) is known as ‘The Gateway to the Isles’. It originally existed as a small fishing and trading village until the steamers of the late Victorian era started arriving in greater numbers. The arrival of the railway in 1880 confirmed its growing status. The most outstanding feature in Oban is McCaig’s Tower which is also known as McCaig’s Folly. The tower is clearly visible from The Drury.

Oban is also arguably the centre for the west coast sailing scene and still retains a large fishing fleet.

Oban boasts a wide variety of shops, sporting and transport facilities. Restaurants, cafés and bars abound, many hosting live bands and ceilidhs and, for the energetic, swimming and other sports can be enjoyed at the Atlantis Leisure Centre.

DescriptionThe Drury is an elegant, distinguished Victorian mansion designed to take full advantage of the panoramic views to Oban Harbour, the Sound of Mull and the islands beyond, with bay windows further emphasising the views. Over the last few years, the present owner has comprehensively upgraded the property’s interior to the highest of standards, with the second floor recently undergoing a complete transformation. The specification is similar to a luxury new home but yet retaining the character of its Victorian heritage. En suite facilities have been added to most of the main bedrooms with fittings from the Philippe Starck Duravit range, with underfloor heating and power showers. The Drury also has a substantial modern kitchen and period features include original shutters, ornate plaster cornicing, beautiful fire surrounds, hardwood flooring and wall panelling. The period detailing is particularly apparent on the upper landing which is further enhanced by columns and a cupola which allows natural light to flood the stairwell and ground floor below. The surrounding gardens are mainly lawned, with several patio areas, BBQ area and fire pit. A former garage has been converted into a games room.

The Drury is currently run as a successful 5 – star holiday let. The property sleeps 22 and full details can be obtained from the selling agents.

The ground floor comprises: entrance porch with mosaic tile flooring, grand reception hallway with oak flooring, cloakroom/WC, beautiful drawing room, formal dining room, butler’s pantry, contemporary fitted dining sized kitchen, utility room, sitting room with bay window to side and several stores including boiler house. Bedroom 1 is on the ground floor and has recently been refurbished. The first floor accommodation comprises: seven spacious double sized bedrooms, four of which have en suite shower rooms or bathrooms with an additional family bathroom on the first floor. The second floor accommodation has been fully renovated within the last 3 years and comprises: three magnificent double sized bedrooms with two wet rooms, box room and linen store.
