Description
Appin Lodge is an upgraded and improved lower villa house in typical Scottish west highland style. It enjoys a prominent situation within Blairmore and from where there are quite spectacular and often dramatic views over the highly picturesque water and landscape of Loch Long. The house is of mainly sandstone finish under a dark grey slate roof.
The accommodation is presented over one level which is accessed through a private porch way. The house is well set up for principal family living and similarly would offer itself as a good second home or an income producing holiday letting proposition.
Ground Floor
Outer storm door to entrance porch, inner front door with glass insert to welcoming entrance hallway, formal sitting room with hard wood flooring, warming multi fuel stove, enclosed Edinburgh press, bay window formation overlooking front gardens and waterscape views. Bedroom 1 (principal bedroom), hard wood floor, bay window formation to waterscape views. Bedroom 2 with window to rear gardens, newly fitted contemporary family bath and shower room with walk in shower enclosure, heated towel rail, under stair store cupboard, linen cupboard, formal dining room with window to rear gardens, newly fitted Messer’s Magnet kitchen, integrated with soft close units, picture frame window and door to rear gardens.
Outbuildings
Dilapidated laundry outhouse with water supply.
Coach House
Shared ownerships of the detached coach house, personal door access, twin leaf timber doors, concrete floor, light and power supply, currently used as a workshop and general-purpose store.
Gardens
Low level stone wall horseshoe bell mouth entry, gently sloping incline to ample gravel surfaced vehicle turning and hard standing apron, the gravel extends around both sides of the house and is flanked by well-tended mature and level lawns with various specimen trees, beds and bushes. The rear garden is also gently sloping and laid to lawn with a paved patio which is ideal for alfresco sitting and dining, an outdoor spa sits within the rear gardens and from where there are spectacular views across Loch Long and regular sightings of dolphins, whales, porpoises and seals. A personal timber gate provides access to the extreme rear gardens which are mature and planted with a variety of colourful beds and bushes, a pathway wends its way up through the extreme rear gardens to the High Road, the extreme rear gardens enjoy birds of prey, deer and Red Squirrels and from where there are further spectacular views.
Situation
Ground Floor, Appin Lodge 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.
From its fine coastal position there are spectacular waterscape views towards the land mass of the Roseneath Peninsula which is adjacent.
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, Appin Lodge 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 Appin Lodge is no exception, the Blairmore and Strone Golf club is about a mile to the south of Appin Lodge.
