Description
Silverdale, it is a handsome Victorian detached house which is situated amid generous garden grounds and from where there are lovely and often spectacular seascape aspects across the confluence of Loch Long, Loch Gare, The Holy Loch and the upper reaches of the firth of Clyde. The house is of cream painted stone and harled exterior finish and all are under a tiled roof. The accommodation which is all freshly presented is laid out over two light and bright and easily managed levels with front facing rooms benefitting from the fine coastal views.
Internally, many period features have been preserved including plasterwork, corbels, cornices, roses and picture rails. In its current ownership, Silverdale has been subject to a rolling programme of professional maintenance and improvement and the house can be easily described as being presented in ‘move in’ condition.

Situation
Silverdale is located in the ribbon coastal settlement of Blairmore which is at the confluence of the firth of Clyde, The Gare Loch and Loch Long. Blairmore is on the A880 which is the coastal road connecting Dunoon to Ardentinny.
From its fine coastal position there are spectacular waterscape views towards the land mass of the Roseneath Peninsula which is adjacent as well as the spectacular and often dramatic seascape.
Neighbouring Strone has a local provisions store, café and there is a well-stocked grocery store at Cot House garage. There is a popular art café in Blairmore and restaurants nearby in Ardentinny, Coylet and the Whistlefield. Dunoon, nine miles away, has more extensive facilities as well as a library, hospital, leisure centre and swimming pool.
Greenock, (by ferry crossing), is about 15 miles, and the Braehead retail village at 35 miles, offer many of the major high street multiples. There is a primary school in Strone and both further primary and secondary schooling 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, Silverdale is only a few minutes’ drive from the towering Californian redwoods at Benmore botanic garden and the stunning beauty of the freshwater Loch Eck. Salmon and sea trout run the nearby River Eachaig.
The area is renowned for its natural 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 marina and chandlery services at The Holy Loch, Port Bannatyne, Portavadie, Inverkip and Largs. The Holy Loch Marina & Sailing Club is approx. 15 minutes’ drive away and there are plans to extend this to provide additional berths, car parking and the erection of a licensed restaurant and retail units. The Waverly paddle steamer often visits the nearby Blairmore pier.
Subject to Crown Estate approval, there is the possibility of a mooring directly in front of the house.
As with most parts of Scotland one is never too far from a golf course and Silverdale is no exception, the Blairmore and Strone Golf club is about a mile to the south of Silverdale.
