Beautiful 3 bed semi detached family home with fully self-contained chalet in the most spectacular of settings in the tranquil village of Glendaruel. 1 Duiletter is surrounded by gorgeous vistas, sits in large and beautifully maintained gardens and would offer the new owners the opportunity to generate a lucrative income from the wonderful lodge as well as living in a most enviable part of the stunning Argyll countryside. The main house is split over two levels and comprises a bright and airy sitting / dining room with multi-fuel stove, kitchen with fantastic AGA cooker, conservatory at the rear, downstairs shower room and, upstairs, three double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. The chalet, which generates, a steady income, is extremely homely and comfortable and the spacious open plan living area comprises a lounge with log burning stove, kitchen and dining area. A lovely shower room and good-sized double bedroom complete the lodge. Both properties sit in extremely generous, lovingly maintained and aesthetically pleasing gardens and both have private seating areas. This presents a wonderful opportunity for a complete lifestyle change by living in a rural idyll as well as making a good and steady income from the holiday let and, as such, is not expected to be on the market long so early viewing is highly recommended.
Glendaruel is a peaceful village nestled in the rolling hills and countryside of Cowal and is the perfect place to enjoy the quiet life away from the hustle of city living, but with benefit of having larger villages like Strachur, on the shore of Loch Fyne, and Tighnabruaich on the Kyles of Bute, nearby; Dunoon, Cowal’s capital town, is only about 40 minutes away. Glasgow can be reached by road in approximately an hour. In the Glendaruel and Strachur area there are pubs, tea rooms, a petrol station with well-stocked shop, doctors, schools and playparks.

In total, the distance coming from Dunoon is approximately 20 miles.
