Garelochhead, Helensburgh, G84

Fernicarry House dates back to the late 1800’s and is a beautiful whitewashed stone built detached Victorian villa. Sitting amidst extensive mature, private and well enclosed gardens, the property enjoys lovely views over the waters of the Gare Loch and the surrounding hills.

On entering the grounds, twin wrought iron gates open in to a gravelled driveway that leads up to the front of the house where there is extensive parking, both to the front and side for numerous cars, or even a boat or caravan. The gardens to the front feature extensive lawns on either side of the driveway, all enclosed and bounded by mature trees, bushes and shrubs. From the gardens there are lovely views over the water. The gardens wrap around the house on both sides and extend to the rear where there are further lawns, leading up to mature woodland and the bottom of the hills surrounding the village. At the rear there is a stone built tool shed and at the far end of the garden, there is a stone outbuilding that is currently derelict, but would be ripe for conversion/development. Timber garden shed and wood store.

On entering the property, an outer vestibule with twin storm doors open in to a lovely reception hall where a staircase ascends to the upper landing. To the front of the house and with water views, there is a comfortable and spacious formal lounge that features a wood burning stove at its focal point. On the other side of the hall is a separate family room, again with water views. To the rear of the house there is a bright and spacious formal dining room with windows to the side and rear. From here, there is access through to a modern, well fitted and equipped kitchen. To the rear of the dining room, there is a small outer vestibule leading out to the garden. Finally on the ground floor, is a downstairs wc/cloakroom with wc and wash hand basin. Moving to the upstairs accommodation, the large galleried landing gives access to each of the main bedrooms, as well as the family bathroom which has a modern bath, wc and wash hand basin. The master bedroom to the front of the house enjoys a great deal of natural light, lovely views over the water and surrounding hills and has its own beautifully refitted ensuite shower room, which has a large walk-in shower, wc and wash hand basin. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, one of which is to the front of the house, again enjoying views over the water and with two of the bedrooms to the rear with side facing windows overlooking the gardens.
