Welcome to The Shieling, a charming, shorefront, character home nestled in the scenic village of Kilmun with direct access to the Kilmun Arboretum and panoramic views over Holy Loch. This spacious multi-level property offers flexible living with two principal bedrooms—one on each floor—both enjoying ensuite facilities. The upper suite boasts a luxurious freestanding bath tucked beneath sloped ceilings and breathtaking loch views from the bedroom. The main level includes a welcoming hallway with solid wood flooring, an elegant sitting room with wood-burning stove and bay window, and a country-style kitchen with integrated appliances. Further accommodation includes a utility room, a third bedroom, and a fully tiled shower room. Outside, the beautifully landscaped, tiered rear garden offers lawned terraces, patio areas, a woodstore, large shed, garage, and a private gate into the Arboretum. An ideal retreat for nature lovers seeking comfort, privacy, and timeless views.

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.
