House For Sale £315,000
Description
Lochend has been successfully converted from historic coach house and stables and is completed in a combination of Barra shell and painted smooth render, all under a slated roof. The house stands in mature garden grounds with lawns, a stream and ponds, as well as specimen mature trees underplanted and edged with rhododendrons. A further area of ground is at the rear and is to semi ancient native woodland underplanted with rhododendrons.
Lochend is a generously proportioned detached family and guest entertaining home, it is well presented and offers light and bright accommodation laid out over two easily managed levels. The original property was built c1870 and it was comprehensively converted and upgraded in 1977. The front of the house enjoys views over the gardens to the head of The Holy Loch.
Situation
Lochend is situated just off the A815 in Sandbank which is the coastal ribbon settlement on the southern edge of the Holy loch and just to the northern side of the Cowal peninsula town of Dunoon.
The centre of the bustling town of Dunoon is only a short drive to the south. Dunoon is the main town of the Cowal Peninsula and has a complete range of shopping, leisure and professional services. The town has a good range of welcoming pubs and restaurants, a library, hospital, secondary school, theatre, cinema, swimming pool and leisure centre. There is a primary school in Sandbank. 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.
Located on the scenic Cowal Peninsula in Argyll, Lochend is only a short drive from both Argyll Ferries (passenger only from Dunoon centre to Gourock, linking with the railway station) and Western Ferries (passengers & vehicles) terminals from where there are frequent sailings across to Gourock. From here, the road and public transport links make it possible to commute on a daily basis to Glasgow and the central belt.
It is equally possible to drive to Glasgow via Loch Lomond which takes a little longer but is via some of the most famous and breathtaking countryside in western Scotland.
Dunoon is the gateway to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and can easily be described as having some of the most dramatic and picturesque scenery in the west of Scotland, it is indeed an outdoor enthusiasts playground.
As with most parts of Scotland, one is never too far from a golf course and Dunoon is no exception - the district having three challenging courses.
The expanding Holy Loch Marina is nearby with its berthing and associated chandlery services, an excellent base from which to sail and explore the world famous lower Clyde and Kyles of Bute inland sea lochs and waterways.
Sea fishing is available on the Firth of Clyde and it is possible to fish for salmon and sea trout by permit on some of the rivers and lochs of the district, with the River Eachaig, the freshwater Loch Eck only a few minutes’ drive to the north.
Some of the local estates can, by arrangement, offer rough and commercial shooting as well as opportunities to stalk for roe, sika and red deer.
The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery. Benmore Botanic Garden is only 2 miles away and there are near endless walks, hill climbs and quiet country roads offering wonderful rambling and cycling country.
