Forest Cottages, Rowardennan, G63

Set within the peaceful hamlet of Sallochy, 6 Forrest Cottage is a charming three-bedroom semi-detached home in a truly spectacular setting within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The property enjoys a tranquil rural position with mature oak forest on the doorstep and within 10 mins walking distance of the eastern shoreline of Loch Lomond- an ideal base for those who love the outdoors.

Originally built for the Forestry Commission, this well-proportioned home extends to around 1,015 sq. ft. and offers flexible accommodation over two levels. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove decorated with a bespoke wooden oak fire surround depicting Loch Lomond, creating a warm and inviting focal point. From the hallway, a door opens to a further reception room currently used as a study room, here listed as a family room, allowing for versatile living arrangements.

A dining room connects seamlessly from the Family room, offering a sociable layout for family life or entertaining. The kitchen itself enjoys a bright rear aspect overlooking the garden and woodland beyond. The family bathroom includes a spacious waterfall shower.

Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, featuring open aspects to the front and the rear of the property. The home also has three large storage areas, a utility area sits off the dining room, a large cupboard under the stairs and a spacious cupboard at the top of the stairs.

The property has benefitted from a number of thoughtful upgrades, including solid oak flooring throughout the downstairs, insulation added to the interior side of the exterior walls and wall lining replaced with plasterboard. Some areas have been left unfinished - providing an excellent opportunity for a new owner to complete the work and add their own personal touch.

Externally, the cottage is surrounded by mature trees and natural scenery, with a generous rear garden offering space for outdoor seating and relaxation. The property also benefits from a large garage, providing useful storage or parking, and a woodshed. The tranquil setting and proximity to the loch make this an exceptional spot to enjoy local wildlife and the beauty of the changing seasons.

Rowardennan lies just three miles north and offers access to the Ben Lomond hiking route, along with a hotel, bar, and restaurant. To the south, Balmaha provides a convenience store, cafés, and the popular Oak Tree Inn, as well as opportunities for loch cruises and water sports. Drymen, approximately seven miles away, offers further amenities including shops, a primary school, and leisure facilities, with secondary schooling available at Balfron High.
