Description
Dunara is the entire lower half of a prominently sited handsome period villa in Ardrishaig. The house is formed by a successful conversion, and the garden split arrangements significantly favour the ground floor. The house is of tooled exposed natural stone to the front elevation with smooth ashlar to quoins, window mullions and doors, the side and rear elevations are to cream painted stone and the whole is under a slated roof. The house is set amid mature gardens and from its prominent vantage point there are very pleasant aspects over the adjacent Crinan Canal extending beyond the canal to the seascape at the head of Loch Gilp, the Cowal Hills and beyond to the Island of Arran.
Dunara is a very well presented home, in its current long standing ownership, it has been subject to a rolling programme of maintenance and care and there has been the careful and sensitive retention of period features which include centre ceiling roses, cornice work, picture and dado rails.
Ground Floor:
Outer storm door with fan light above to entrance vestibule with tiled floor, coat and outer wear hooks, painted timber panel to dado height, glazed door with matching side screens to entrance reception hallway with hardwood oak flooring, fine sitting room with deep bay window formation, warming and fully working open fire with slated slips and hearth all set in a carved timber fireplace, hardwood oak flooring, nicely appointed fitted kitchen with butcher block worktops, pendant and inset lighting, Belfast sink and splashback tiling, hardwood oak flooring, plenty of good space for dining and breakfasting table and chairs, Smeg 6 burner gas hob and double electric oven range type cooker, rear hall/utility area with door to gardens and domestic hot water tank. Bedroom 1 (master) with fitted wardrobes to one wall, windows showcasing canal aspects, hardwood oak flooring, bedroom 2 with fitted bedroom furniture, window to rear, bath and shower room tiled to half height, tiled floor, stainless steel slimline radiator/towel rail, inset downlighters to ceiling.
Outbuildings
Summer house/home office, detached timber structure with overhung front canopy, twin leaf glazed access doors with matching side screens, pine lined interior, light and power, mineral felt tile roof, vented log store. Timber garage with twin leaf access doors, personnel door at rear, concrete floor with inspection pit, polycarbonate roof lights, light and power.
Situation
Dunara is situated in a peaceful and convenient setting in the west of Scotland coastal village of Ardrishaig. Ardrishaig is about 2 miles to the south of Lochgilphead.
The house occupies a prominent setting and from its raised vantage point there are the loveliest views over the Crinan Canal which, in season, features the daily comings and goings of pleasure boating craft and yachts people as they navigate the canal from Ardrishaig to Crinan and vice versa. The views extend down Loch Fyne and stretch to the hill tops of the island of Arran in the southern distance.
As mentioned, Ardrishaig is the southern start of the iconic Crinan Canal, which offers pleasure craft the chance to short cut through from Loch Fyne to the sailing grounds of the Inner Hebrides. It also offers a peaceful walkway and cycle path along a 9 mile stretch of canal water. Various local events are held throughout the year, such as the Ardrishaig gala day. From Dunara, it is possible to directly access the canal towpath which provides lovely canal side cycling and walking opportunity.
Ardrishaig village offers a range of local shops which cater for everyday requirements and a primary school. There is a regular bus service to and from Glasgow and also a local bus service to and from Lochgilphead.
Lochgilphead is about 2 miles away where there are supermarkets, independent shops, and professional services. There is a primary/high school campus in Lochgilphead, and tertiary education is available through Argyll College. There is a modern hospital and an integrated health centre. A golf course, bowling green, swimming pool and sports centre are also located in Lochgilphead.
For sailing enthusiasts, there are opportunities to moor at the south end of the canal and explore Loch Fyne and the sailing zone of the Firth of Clyde, there are marina and chandlery services at Crinan, Tarbert and Portavadie. At the northern end of the canal is Crinan, from where it is easy to reach the more testing and scenically beautiful sailing waters around the Inner Hebrides. Ardfern and Craobh marinas are approx. 17 and 19 miles respectively to the northwest.
The surrounding countryside offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits, including water sports such as dinghy sailing, paddle boarding, open water swimming and canoeing/kayaking. The area has many on and off road cycle routes and lovely rural walks. Sea, river and loch fishing are also available. Horse Riding Stables and Livery are also available nearby.
