Description
Rockside is lovely, detached bungalow which has been completed in a nice combination of white painted harling and exposed facing brick, and all is under a tiled roof. Architectural flair has been exhibited in a lovely contemporary extension to the rear of Rockside, the results of which significantly alter and enhance the living dynamics of Rockside. The extension features curvature and stylish fenestration.
Throughout Rockside, the accommodation is presented in immaculate condition and the front rooms enjoy fine views out across the west Kyle towards the adjacent island of Bute.
There is extensive good use of engineered oak hardwood flooring, doors have been replaced in engineered oak with satin steel ironmongery, the kitchen has been fully refitted and integrated with a central island and bathroom ware is of deluxe range quality. The house is set amid mature easily tended and well stocked gardens which are set behind a traditional stone wall. The rear gardens are nicely private and have a little stream running through, a woodland backdrop provides shelter, privacy and seclusion. A gate in the rear gardens gives access to an informal woodland pathway which emerges at the nearby Kyles of Bute golf course.
Ground Floor
Outer canopy porch with terra cotta tile floor and facing brick pier, outer front door with Flemish glass relief to entrance reception hallway, access hatch to partially floored and insulated roof space with lighting, store with electrical switchgear, store with hot tank and linen stores, twin leaf half glazed doors to sitting room with projecting box window formation, contemporary log burner on a raised slate hearth, open plan to dining room with natural light from high level velux, open plan to fully refitted and integrated kitchen with centre island and polished granite worktops, open plan to sunny morning room with distinctive curved glass wall and door to rear gardens, utility room with integrated freezer and electric boiler and door to rear gardens, good sized outer wear and boot room with door to front gardens.
Inner hallway to bathroom with instant shower over the bath, bedroom 1, bedroom 2 with fitted wardrobes, bedroom 3 with fitted wardrobes and refitted en suite shower room
Situation
Rockside is situated in the picturesque coastal ribbon settlement of Kames on the very pretty and famous ‘Kyles of Bute’.
The village of Kames is located just to the south of Tighnabruaich; perhaps its rather better known neighbour.
Kames has its own hotel, post office and shop which easily cater for everyday needs and requirements. The centre of Tighnabruaich is about 1.2 miles to the north and has a well-known sheltered anchorage with moorings that are always lively with the coming and going of boating and yachting craft. The village centre offers local amenities and further shops that cater for everyday needs and requirements. A bus service runs from Kames via Tighnabruaich to both Rothesay and Dunoon.
Portavadie Marina is 3.2 miles away and has seen significant investment in creating a modern state of the art marina infrastructure with associated chandlery, restaurant, accommodation and spa facilities. The marina has a reputation among the sailing communities as a must go to destination and many drive to the marina for culinary days and evenings out.
Tarbert is 8.3 miles to the west and there is a ferry service from Portavadie direct to Tarbert.
The city of Glasgow is 56 miles distant (albeit interrupted by a not unpleasant ferry crossing to Gourock) and has numerous retail districts and all the higher educational, cultural and leisure services, normally associated with a major international centre.
Tighnabruaich has a reputable and award winning primary school and secondary is available at Dunoon Grammar or Tarbert via a short crossing from Portavadie.
The area is famous for its dramatic natural scenic beauty; yachtsmen and women around the world sail through the scenic Kyles from the Clyde marinas and on up through Loch Fyne to Ardrishaig through the Crinan Canal and out to the Hebridean islands.
The area offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits; Kyles of Bute Golf Club is a scenic and challenging 9-hole golf course. There is tennis and inevitably, a famous sailing school.
Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area, as are several commercially run shoots. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.
Tighnabruaich lies on “Argyll’s Secret Coast”, which stretches from Strachur at the top of Loch Fyne round the coast to Colintraive. It is an area of stunning natural beauty where there are countless opportunities to discover peaceful locations. Nearby activities include walks in forests or along the coast, fishing kayaking or sailing and enjoying the wildlife.
Outbuildings
Detached garage with concrete floor, personal door access, remote operated up and over roller door, light and power, outside water point. The garage is completed in white smooth acrylic render and under a slated roof, a projecting canopy provides dry stores for logs.
Gardens
Twin steel galvanised gates set in traditional dry stone front boundary wall fronted by a level grass apron. Gravel surfaced driveway leading to garage with good vehicle hardstanding. The front gardens are laid mainly to lawn with Scots pine bush, shrubs and spring bulbs, a gravel pathway leads to the front door. A close board fence and gate secures the rear gardens which feature a curved flagstone terrace and patio, a gently sloping lawn features a little burn and there are mixed trees, shrubs and bushes.
Services
Mains water supply, drainage is by shared private septic tank, modern electric storage heating supported by electric fired, wet coil underfloor heating, thermostatic panels and woodburning stove. Double glazing. External double socket
Note: The services have not been checked by the selling agents.
