Description
Turning now to the property, March Cottage is a pretty detached cottage of white harled walls with contrasting shades at window and doors. The roof is slated.
Given that the house is situated immediately on the single-track section of the A886, it enjoys outstanding views out across Loch Fyne to the hills and land mass beyond. Internally, the property includes deluxe level quality finishes with a complimentary programme of decorative work and soft furnishings.
The house is perfect and well set up for principal family living; Strachur is also a well-known west of Scotland holiday and short break destination and so offers scope as a second or income producing holiday home, as currently used by the existing owners.
Ground Floor
Via outer front door to kitchen with Belfast sink, aga, utility area, family bathroom with shower enclosure and free standing roll top bath. Formal sitting room with log burning stove, pretty window seat overlooking Loch Fyne. Bedroom 1 with window to rear gardens, door off the hallway to front gardens, overhead storage cupboard housing the electrical switch gear, wc, bedroom 2 (master) with window to front and rear gardens.
Gardens
Via private gravel drive to vehicular hard standing and parking. Front gardens are low maintenance by design and are mainly to a gravel pathway which leads to the front door of the property. The gravel is flanked with pretty flower beds which are bounded by a shallow exposed stone wall at the front. A lawn is to the side of the property and wraps around to the rear gardens. A very pretty stream is a lovely feature and runs down the side of gardens and under the road at the front. At the far side of March Cottage there is a stone staircase which leads to a gravel area and a raised timber decking which is privatised by a close board timber fencing. The timber decking is ideal for alfresco dining and summer furniture, and from its elevated situation there are spectacular and uninterrupted views to Loch Fyne.
Situation
March Cottage is located in an area of dramatic natural beauty. The property faces west and there are superb views across Loch Fyne to the hills and glens beyond.
Strachur is a charming Argyllshire village and has local shops and services that cater for most everyday needs and requirements. Glasgow is about 62 miles and offers a full range of higher and further educational services as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city.
Dunoon is approximately 18.6 miles distant, and it is approximately 55 miles via Loch Lomond-side to Glasgow Airport.
Primary schooling is available in Strachur and secondary schooling is available at Dunoon. The nearest independent school is Helensburgh at 41 miles.
The A83 & A82 provide access to central Scotland. Arrochar has a main line rail station with a service to and from Glasgow city centre and a sleeper to London.
The area offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits including cycle routes, challenging hill climbs, walks and several golf courses. The recently established Cowal Way stretches from Portavadie in the West and travels eastwards for 31 miles through some of the most dramatic and picturesque sea and landscapes in the west coast.
Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area as are a number of commercially run shoots. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.
For sailors, the sea lochs of the west of Scotland offer safe anchorages as well as spectacular coastal sailing, there are marina and chandlery services at Rhu, Inverkip and Dunoon.
