Shore Road, Kilmun, Argyll and Bute, PA23

Absolutely stunning property, with an adjacent plot, set in the most gorgeous of locations on the banks of the River Eachaig, which flows to the Holy Loch, in the much sought-after village of Kilmun. Situated in the National Park, ‘Bluebell Cottage’ is a wonderful home set over three levels which are all connected by an elegant oak staircase, and has been designed, constructed and fitted to the highest of standards with no expense spared on the fixtures, fitments or quality of workmanship thus offering an exceptional and versatile property with undoubted ‘wow factor’. The ground level is the main living accommodation and comprises a bright, airy and luxurious open-plan area consisting of lounge, TV lounge, dining section and modern kitchen, bedroom with en-suite shower room and reception hallway with utility room and shower room off. The upper floor has the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and an exquisite walkway overlooking the lower floor and leading to a further lounge, whilst the basement floor boasts a lovely big seating area, superb cinema room, gym, study and large walk-in storage area. Designed in such a way that that would easily accommodate additional bedrooms if desired, this property would make an ideal family or forever home and really must be seen to be fully appreciated. The adjacent plot, which is also set in National Park land, occupies an extensive area and has planning permission agreed in principle for a dwelling house. Outline planning permission was previously granted and, although now lapsed, there should be no reason why full permission would not be granted again. Properties such as this very rarely appear on the open market and is sure to generate a high level of interest so early viewing is strongly recommended. 

The picturesque village of Kilmun is surrounded by natural beauty, sits on the banks of the Holy Loch and has outstanding views, not only of the loch and the Firth of Clyde, but also the surrounding hills and countryside. The area, which is approximately six miles from Dunoon and on the edge of Scotland’s First National Park, is well served with an excellent shop / petrol station, village pub, nearby golf and bowling clubs, medical centre, churches and a fantastic primary school which has been awarded the Green Flag. Other places of interest and / or leisure include the arboretum with its many species of trees and wildlife and several recognised walks of varying degree of ease and the Argyll Mausoleum set in the grounds of Kilmun Church. The popular, and ever expanding, Holy Loch Marina is just a few minutes’ drive away at the other side of the loch although many boat-owners also have a mooring in the loch for using during the summer months. A regular bus service to Dunoon makes the supermarkets, shops, hairdressers, eateries, pubs, sports and sailing clubs and cinema etc easily accessible. 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.

Plot
The extensive plot is set behind Bluebell Cottage with a separate entrance. Outline planning has previously been granted and although now lapsed, there should be no reason why this should not be approved in the future should the new owners wish, especially given that planning permission has very recently been agreed in principle with National Park. In the recent enquiry, the current owners included a proposed chalet-style house designed by Heb Homes although this would be fully assessed at the detailed planning application stage. If approved, this would offer a fantastic, and lucrative, opportunity to build a home or holiday home / let with a stunning water and country vista.

Misc.
Much of the fixtures, fittings and furniture may be available for private purchase.
