To the front of the property there is parking on a shared driveway that leads to the adjoining house and moving around to the back of the property a sheltered and enclosed garden, includes a decked terrace and patio and with access to an adjoining single car garage with additional parking space.

This is a delightful public space that in turn gives access through to the main reception hall which in turn leads through to the formal lounge which is a comfortable and cosy room with a bay window with painted timber floor boards and a feature fire surround with wood burning stove in place. This room is big enough to accommodate a table and chairs for dining.

The stylish and traditional kitchen gives direct access out the back gardens and features attractive timber wall and counter level units, ceramic tiled splashbacks and a range of appliances that include a Belfast sink, double cooker and fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the bathroom that features a stand alone bath with rain head shower above, wc and wash hand basin. To the rear of the bathroom there is a hallway, again giving access out the back garden and beyond the hall is a very useful utility room.

The location of Ardenbeg is perfect, within the attractive and much sought after conservation village of Rhu which is home to a small church, convenience store and highly regarded primary school. The larger town of Helensburgh is very close and provides more extensive shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cafes and train stations with services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even London. There is great sailing in the area with numerous yacht clubs close to hand and some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery is only a short distance away. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance as is the international airport. EPC Band - D.
