Description
Lorne Villa is a very pretty detached house of white painted stone construction under a recently replaced tiled and part slated roof. The house is located in a wonderful south facing coastal setting in the ribbon settlement of Strone. Lorne Villa benefits from having the access road at the rear and it has immediate foreshore access which is always favoured by those seeking out coastal living.
The accommodation is well presented and over the years has been the subject of a rolling programme of professional maintenance, upgrading and improvement which has seen the careful and sensitive preservation of many period features both internally and externally. The accommodation is laid out over two light and bright and easily managed levels. Front rooms enjoy wonderful seascape aspects out across the Holy Loch to the Cowal peninsula land mass adjacent.
Outer front door to entrance conservatory, inner front door to hallway, cupboard housing electrical switch gear, inner front door to welcoming entrance hallway, kitchen with island unit, pantry, window to rear gardens, utility room housing the boiler, 1 velux window, door to gardens. Good sized cloaks/store cupboard, formal sitting room with bay window with window seat, uninterrupted and breath-taking views across front gardens to water, imitation log burning stove. Door with stained glass to sunroom/conservatory, twin leaf doors to gardens. Formal dining room with enclosed Edinburgh press, bay window formation to front gardens, home office/snug with window to rear gardens, wc.
Period staircase to first floor landing, bedroom 1 (master) with window to side and rear gardens, bedroom 2 with 1 velux window and window overlooking waterscape views, family bathroom with corner bath and 1 velux window, bedroom 3 with window to front, bedroom 4 with temporary shower enclosure, window to side gardens.

Situation
Lorne Villa is situated in the pretty little hamlet of Strone which is part of the ribbon settlement that runs west to east along the northern side of the Holy Loch.
The house faces south from where there are wonderful views and sunsets to the adjacent hills of Cowal, the Firth of Clyde and south east to the Renfrewshire and Ayrshire coastlines in the distance.
Strone has a church and local provisions store . The neighbouring hamlet of Kilmun has an historic church and mausoleum.
Dunoon, seven miles away via the A880, has more extensive facilities as well as a library, hospital, leisure centre and swimming pool. Greenock, (by ferry crossing), is about 13 miles, and the Braehead retail village near Glasgow at 33 miles, offers many of the major high street multiples.
There is a regular bus service to Dunoon with further connections to Glasgow and a car and passenger ferry service to the mainland which connects with trains to Gourock and Glasgow.
There is a primary school in Strone and further primary and secondary schooling is available in Dunoon. Some children in the area attend the independent school of St Columba’s in Kilmacolm and a private bus service is in operation from Gourock.
Set within the National Park and the Argyll Forest, Lorne Villa is a few minutes drive from the towering Californian redwoods at Benmore Botanical Gardens and the stunning beauty of the freshwater Loch Eck. There are salmon and sea trout runs at the nearby River Eachaig.
The area is renowned for its natural scenic beauty with many miles of quiet roads, forest trails and hillside tracks.
For sailing enthusiasts, the Firth of Clyde offers some of the most scenic sailing in western Europe and there are excellent marina and chandlery services at The Holy Loch, Port Bannatyne, Portavadie, Inverkip, Largs and Greenock.
As with most parts of Scotland, one is never too far from a golf course and Lorne Villa is no exception; the Blairmore and Strone Golf club is only a few hundred yards away from Lorne Villa.
Travel Directions
From Glasgow city centre leave in a westerly direction on the M8 motorway. Continue for 21 miles to arrive at Port Glasgow. Follow signs Greenock and Gourock on the A770 for 8 miles to reach the Western Ferry terminal at McInroys Point. Take the ferry to Hunter’s Quay, Dunoon. Leave the terminal and turn right towards the Holy Loch marina. Turn right on the A815 through to Sandbank. Turn right to the A880 signposted for Kilmun. Continue 2.5 miles through Kilmun towards Strone. Once in Strone and in Midge Lane, the gates leading to Lorne Villa are located on the right hand side."
