Five bedroom bungalow with around 3.5 acres in scenic rural setting.

Description

Nestled in the tranquil locale of Lochgoilhead, Donich Lodge is a lovely detached bungalow with a thoughtfully designed, bright and airy layout. Positioned on the historic site of an old hunting lodge, the property enjoys striking southwest facing vistas over picturesque Lochgoilhead, complemented by the dramatic backdrop of surrounding countryside and mountains.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming vestibule leading into the hallway. The spacious sitting room, accessed through double doors, features a charming bay window and a living flame effect gas fire. Additionally, the formal dining room, also with double doors, offers easy access to the gardens.

The kitchen is spacious and well-appointed with a range of floor and wall mounted cabinetry, supported by a practical utility room as well as a convenient cloakroom/WC.

The property has four double bedrooms, two of which have en suite shower rooms and mirrored wardrobes. Two bedrooms have access to further versatile space located off, currently in use as a study and office, both with their own air conditioning. Above the living accommodation there is a spacious floored attic with lights.

The property benefits from a large solar array certified by SSE for grid attachment during power cuts, which generates around 9mwh a year and makes the house grid independent for most of the year. Donich Lodge also has full fibre to premises (FFTP) internet connection.

This property has a range of outbuildings, including a detached double garage with power and a ten year warranty, a workshop and equipment store, a garden shed and a pretty summerhouse. A sweeping tarmacadam driveway provides ample parking.

Donich Lodge is set in around 3.5 acres of its own land. The rear lawn gracefully merges into a natural woodland garden, enhancing the private atmosphere that Donich Lodge offers and leading down to the river behind. Wildlife spotted in the garden includes regular pine martens, deer and badgers and an occasional otter.
