Glenarn Road, G84

Located within the picturesque conservation village of Rhu, Eight Bells Cottage is an utterly charming converted coach house set within a gorgeous woodland setting tucked away off Glenarn Road.

The setting of Eight Bells Cottage is particularly special and offers an almost traffic free setting. Originally constructed around 1850 as stables for Invergare House the coach houses were successfully converted into residential dwellings in the late 1980's. The current owners have transformed the coach house over the last couple of years and offer a new owner a true turn-key property, including a full new roof which was completed in 2024 and many of the windows and front door having been replaced or refurbished.

Internally the property offers around 1,060 square feet of living accommodation set over two floors. The property has the perfect balance of beautiful original features and modern comforts. On entering there is a welcoming hallway which gives access to a useful ground floor bedroom. The Lounge is a gorgeous bright space with dual aspects overlooking the garden to one side and Lovers Lane to the other. The Lounge has a wonderful Arc Window/French doors which fit into the original stable door giving access to the courtyard area of the garden. There is a barn styled beamed ceiling and gorgeous parquet flooring.

The Kitchen is fitted with modern country style units with hand crafted wooden worktops and under cabinet lighting. There is a range of good quality integral appliances and space for free-standing white goods. The Kitchen has ample space for a good-sized dining table and chairs and again enjoys dual aspects.

The upper level of the property offers two further large double bedrooms both of which have built in Storage. An additional store cupboard is available on the landing. The main bedroom offers glorious views over the village, Rosneath Peninsula and Clyde Estuary with the second bedroom having aspects over the garden. As mentioned, there is a third bedroom located on the ground floor. Completing the internal accommodation is a modern bathroom with a rain head mains shower.

Eight Bells Cottage has double glazing throughout, a new composite front door and gas central heating with the boiler having been replaced in 2022.

Externally the property has a lovely mature private garden with a newly installed raised deck, a cobbled courtyard and a sizeable area of lawn. There is also private parking for two vehicles.
The village of Rhu is a wonderful place to call home, there is a selection of local amenities including a Marina, local shop, pub and a highly regarded primary school.

Helensburgh is a short drive away offering a wide selection of shopping and newly completed leisure centre. The town is serviced by two train stations offering regular services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond.
