4 bed Flat For Sale £175,000
Beautiful red sandstone lower Victorian villa with extensive and beautifully landscaped gardens and stunning sea and hill views. 1 Burnside Villa is well presented internally and comprises four bedrooms, generous sitting room with log-burning stove and gorgeous vista through the front-facing bay windows, kitchen with adjacent dining / family room and modern bathroom. Externally, the property boasts magnificent gardens with the front looking out to Holy Loch, the marina and the Kilmun Hills and being laid mainly to lawn but with a plethora of trees, plants and shrubs adding colour and character. The fantastic back garden is, again, laid mainly to lawn and as, such, ideal for children’s outdoor play equipment but there are also several seating areas and outhouses; a small burn trickles along the side of the back garden offering another tranquil place to sit and relax. The driveway is shared between the two neighbouring properties, although each property benefits by having its own parking area. This property must be seen to be fully appreciated and is not expected to be on the market long so early viewing is recommended.
Sandbank is approximately three miles from Dunoon, Cowal’s capital town. The village, which sits on the banks of the Holy Loch, boasts a marina, sailing club, village shop / post office, primary school, bowling club and a children’s play area with basketball / 5-a-side football pitch. The famous Benmore Botanic Garden and Loch Eck are just a couple of miles further north. In the Dunoon area there are two supermarkets, local shops and hairdressers aplenty, several cafes and restaurants, offering a range to suit all tastes and budgets, plenty of pubs, two leisure centres, numerous golf, bowling and tennis clubs, a two-screen cinema, a local museum and a concert venue. There are also ample churches, medical surgeries, dentists, a hospital and a veterinary practice. In addition, there are two ferry links to Gourock with rail and coach links meaning that Glasgow city centre is little more than an hour away, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and Greenock even closer.
