4 bedroom detached house for sale

Built in the early 19th Century, Stewarton Cottage is a delightful stone built detached cottage that sits in an elevated position above the road, amidst extensive garden grounds and in a very established part of Kilcreggan. From the property there are limited views over the Firth of Clyde. Over the past few years, the property has been substantially remodelled, extended and updated and the current owners have further enhanced the property over the past year by stylishly redecorating the interior, modernising the bathroom and refurbishing the kitchen.

The cottage offers fantastic accommodation on two floors, full of character and charm, yet possessing a modern specification but with a distinctly cosy feel. The garden grounds that surround the house are completely private, sheltered by mature trees and hedging and feature large expanses of lawn to the front, side and rear, with potential space to the side of the house for the erection of a further property (subject to planning). The gardens also feature a widened and regravelled driveway, a sheltered and enclosed patio area to the rear, along with colourful flower and shrub beds. The timber garden shed is also included in the sale.

Internally the property displays many fine period features and has a most versatile layout, with accommodation over two floors. The entrance vestibule opens in to a reception hall which in turn leads through to a stunning main living area with full height glass windows overlooking the back gardens and with a high beamed ceiling. This room features new dado panelling, timber flooring, ceiling beams, a wood burning stove at its focal point and there is access directly out to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a large bay windowed formal lounge with timber flooring, feature fireplace and open fire. There is a beautifully refitted modern dining kitchen which has a window to the side and there is a separate dining room (currently used as a fourth double bedroom) along with a large master bedroom with two windows, a feature fire surround and a wood burning stove. The sizeable bathroom has a new walk-in shower, vanity wash hand basin, new wc with pull flush and a stand alone clawfoot bath. A small staircase ascends to an upper landing which in turn gives access to two upstairs bedrooms. The property is warmed by a system of LPG (gas) central heating and features a combination of double glazed and single glazed units.

Argyll Road arguably enjoys one of the best positions within Kilcreggan, set back from the busy main front road, yet still taking in views over the water. Kilcreggan itself is a vibrant community with a primary school and a number of clubs and groups catering for a wide range of interests. The village benefits greatly from many local amenities including a range of shops, bank, post office, health centre, hotels, pub and garage. There are good public transport links, with a regular bus service to Helensburgh (the nearest town) and a pedestrian ferry across the river to Gourock, with a connecting rail link to Glasgow. Helensburgh is approximately twenty-five minutes’ drive and provides a wider selection of shops, supermarkets, banks, post office, bars and restaurants. It also has a rail service to Glasgow and beyond. Glasgow Airport can be reached by road in approximately fifty minutes and the west end of Glasgow in an hour. EPC Band - F.
