One of the standout features is the large detached summer house, measuring approximately 4.46m by 4.61m and benefitting from electric power, this versatile outbuilding could serve as a home office, hobby space, gym, or entertaining area. In addition, there is an attached outbuilding with compartments, built in blockwork and covered by a concrete flat roof, ideal for storage or workshop use. This unique property offers far more than just a home, it offers a rural lifestyle, a sense of retreat, and uninterrupted views over one of Scotland’s most picturesque areas.

The property enjoys a superb location on the outskirts of Dumbarton, a historic town known for its riverside setting, wide range of amenities, and the iconic Dumbarton Castle, which offers stunning views over the River Clyde. Dumbarton provides excellent shopping, schooling, and leisure options, as well as direct train links to Glasgow and Helensburgh. Just a short drive or a scenic walk away is the sought after village of Cardross. Set on the north bank of the River Clyde, Cardross offers a peaceful village atmosphere with a local primary school, independent shops, a golf course, village pub, and access to beautiful walks along the Clyde estuary. The village also benefits from a train station on the Glasgow-Helensburgh line, making it ideal for commuters or those seeking a balance between rural living and urban accessibility. In addition, the wider area opens up into Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, offering exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation including hiking, cycling, water sports, and wildlife watching. Despite the peaceful surroundings, the property is within easy commuting distance of Glasgow, with quick access to the M8 motorway and Glasgow Airport. It offers the best of both worlds: a tranquil country setting and practical proximity to the city.
