The gardens at Craigowan House have been beautifully landscaped and carefully considered to ensure that there are various zoned areas around the gardens to enjoy alfresco sitting, dining and entertaining. The gardens are accessed via wrought iron twin leaf gates which lead to a cobble driveway, two sets of sandstone steps provide access to front gardens, side and rear gardens. The front gardens are relatively low maintenance by design and are laid to cobble stones which are bound by colourful flower beds and bushes. Beyond the cobbles there is a generous and stylish terrace area laid to paving stone, with outdoor furniture and from where there are breath-taking views across Campbeltown harbour and further down the loch. A very pretty water feature offers a great sense of peace and tranquillity to the gardens and is built into a further paved seating area. Paving stone warps around the rear of the property via personal gates located on either side of the home, a stone staircase at the rear of the house provides access up to the extreme rear gardens which are laid mainly to lawn with a drying green, which is further planted with colourful flower beds and bushes, and a privatised seating area and suntrap lies at the very rear gardens. Due East there is a secret garden which is bound by a mature privacy hedge, and enclosed within the secret garden there are various specimen trees, beds, bushes and colourful flowers including a very pretty pink rhododendron. The gardens are beautiful and broadly speaking bound by a stone wall and from each corner there are wonderful views towards the water. There is ample vehicular hard standing and parking directly in front of the property.
