Detached bungalow with large private gardens and the most gorgeous of views from its shoreside setting on the banks of River Eachaig in the sought-after village of Kilmun, on the outskirts of Dunoon. Set in extensive grounds, Number 1 Nursery Cottages has been professionally adapted for those with restricted mobility and comprises a front-facing sitting room which opens to a large decked balcony and offers uninterrupted views of the loch and countryside beyond, a spacious dining kitchen, massive master bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing area, smaller second bedroom and wet room. Externally, the property boasts a lovingly landscaped and maintained front garden which is bordered by privacy hedging and laid mainly to lawn with a plethora of colourful trees and shrubs which the balcony grandly overlooks whilst the back garden is also laid mainly to lawn but boasts a pathway up into the trees which stand proudly at the top. A long driveway leads from the residents’ parking area to the timber garage / workshop. Properties such as this rarely appear on the open market and always generate a high level of interest so early viewing is most definitely recommended.
The picturesque village of Kilmun is surrounded by natural beauty, sits on the banks of the Holy Loch and has outstanding views, not only of the loch and the Firth of Clyde, but also the surrounding hills and countryside. The area, which is approximately six miles from Dunoon and on the edge of Scotland’s First National Park, is well served with an excellent shop / petrol station, village pub, nearby golf and bowling clubs, medical centre, churches and a fantastic primary school which has been awarded the Green Flag. Other places of interest and / or leisure include the arboretum with its many species of trees and wildlife and several recognised walks of varying degree of ease and the Argyll Mausoleum set in the grounds of Kilmun Church. The popular, and ever expanding, Holy Loch Marina is just a few minutes’ drive away at the other side of the loch although many boat-owners also have a mooring in the loch for using during the summer months. A regular bus service to Dunoon makes the supermarkets, shops, hairdressers, eateries, pubs, sports and sailing clubs and cinema etc easily accessible. In addition, there are two ferry links to Gourock with rail and coach links meaning that Glasgow city centre is little more than an hour away, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and Greenock even closer.
