Rayne, Woodrow Avenue, Kilmacolm, Inverclyde, PA13

A red sandstone fronted period home with additional adjacent garden plot, offering well finished family accommodation in a convenient central village setting.

Description
Rayne is a handsome period home which dates from c 1908. The house enjoys a slightly elevated position from where there are far reaching north westerly aspects. The house is set amid mature and well stocked and tended gardens and the additional garden opposite where the garage is located means that there is no immediate opposing neighbour and so as well as the amenity of ownership, the outlooks are protected in so far as they remain with Rayne.
