Charming cottage in superb lochside setting

Description

Nestled in a sought-after waterside position on the tranquil shores of Loch Fyne, this delightful detached cottage is a home of great character and charm that enjoys uninterrupted views across the loch.

Arranged over two levels, the accommodation is light and bright, with a simple but stylish feel, with some exposed brickwork, stripped floorboards and neutral décor. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the magnificent outlook over the loch. The heart of the home is a well-appointed dining kitchen, complete with AGA-style stove and a range of floor mounted cabinetry. Beyond the kitchen sits a useful utility space which could serve as a third single bedroom or study, if desired.

The dual-aspect sitting room, enhanced by a feature fireplace, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the adjoining conservatory porch provides an exceptional vantage point with panoramic aspects. A family bathroom with both shower and bath completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms enjoy elevated views over the loch and are served by a shared WC. Potential mooring facilities are available at the Strachur Pontoon.

With its charming proportions and superb lochside setting, this cottage presents an enviable lifestyle opportunity – whether as a permanent residence, a weekend retreat or an idyllic holiday home.
