Shore Road, Kilmun, Argyll and Bute, PA23

In an elevated position within the much sought after village of Kilmun, Seanta is a fantastic detached bungalow which commands absolutely stunning, panoramic, views of the Holy Loch, Firth of Clyde and the surrounding hills. This modernised property sits in approximately 2/3 of an acre of beautifully landscaped private gardens and woodland and has many benefits including 3 double bedrooms (one with en-suite), modern kitchen / diner, enormous lounge with dual aspect, family shower room, utility room, storm porch, reception hallway, Conservatory, garden porch, plenty of storage and a wood deck with a view to die for. The views are enhanced by the fact that the house is south facing and as such, gets the sun all day long. This is a truly wonderful property in an idyllic location and would make an ideal family, retirement or holiday home. The bungalow, grounds, gardens, views and location mean that Seanta offers an incredible opportunity to a wide variety of buyers so early viewing is 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 seven miles from Dunoon and on the edge of Scotland’s First National Park, is well served with a post office / mini market, hotel, pub, golf and bowling clubs, medical centre, churches and a fantastic primary school which has been awarded the Green Flag. The popular, and ever expanding, Holy Loch Marina is just a few minutes drive away at the other side of the loch. Moorings are also available for short or long-term stopovers.

There is also a regular bus service to Dunoon making 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.

Grounds
Seanta sits atop a large plot of mixed private landscaped gardens and a section left to wild woodland to attract the abundant wildlife of deer, red squirrels and birdlife. The gardens immediately surrounding the bungalow have been lovingly landscaped with a tremendous amount of time, effort, money and love. Some of the many features of the garden include the Dublin Burn which trickles down the side from the hills above, two hosepipes, outside electrical point, deer fence round the perimeter, outside lighting throughout, a summer house and a shed. Garden paths and steps lead through the gardens and into the Argyll Forest Park and a gate allows instant access to the beauty, exotic trees and the many walks that are on offer directly behind the property. The elevation of the plot and the wild wood area is large enough to offer privacy in all directions. The wood deck is a perfect place to sit and enjoy the south facing gardens and the views which are uninterrupted. The impressive winding driveway leads from the shore road to the property and has ample room for parking several cars.
