Property Description

The main accommodation is currently divided into two self-contained, two-bedroom cottages (ideal for holiday lets or independent living – but could easily be converted back into one dwelling if desired). The house offers flexible and versatile accommodation, formed over a two-storey layout. In essence, the front of the property belies the spacious accommodation internally. Although the house is very much a traditional home, it has a comfortable feel and benefits from outstanding views towards the Holy Isle and the Firth of Clyde. With mature trees and shrubs in the garden, red squirrels and a host of wild birds, this is a secluded haven !
The traditional building offers fantastic and flexible accommodation, which only a viewing will qualify. The interior offers flexible living space, which is inherent with a home of this age and character. The property is surrounded by grounds of (circa) three-quarters of an acre, with a wide variety of mature plants and trees and offers views of the ever-changing waters and the Holy Isle - which is the perfect spot to spend a lazy summer's day entertaining friends and family and has been used for this purpose on many an occasion ! The gardens provide seasonal colour and allow for access to amazing woodland walks. The gardens come complete with a detached workshop, poly-tunnels, greenhouse and various other out-buildings. There is also the welcome addition of a private driveway providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles.

The property requires a considerable level of internal and external re-decoration, modernisation and upgrading, but has been very competitively priced to realise an early sale. A prospective purchaser has a blank canvas to design and re-configure the villa to their own taste and style and add immediate value. Once completed, the property will offer well-proportioned room sizes with an abundance of living space, making this a super acquisition for a variety of buyers.
