The Coach House, Shore Road, Cove, G84 0NN

Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present this charming three-bedroom stone-built cottage, set in one of the most picturesque locations on the Rosneath Peninsula.

The Coach House dates back to around 1850 and, as its name suggests, was originally the coach house for Ferndene House in Cove, Argyll and Bute, incorporating design elements attributed to the renowned architect Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.

The property is accessed via a private driveway, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles.

Internally, the accommodation comprises a bright and welcoming entrance hall, a cosy lounge featuring a wood-burning stove, and a spacious country-style dining kitchen complete with a range of appliances. There is also a generous ground-floor bedroom, which could be utilised flexibly to suit the buyer’s needs, along with a modern shower room.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive views over the front gardens towards Loch Long.

The garden grounds are extensive, featuring a sun patio and a large rear embankment left in its natural woodland state, creating a peaceful and private outdoor space. A garage is also included and is currently used for storage.

Cove is situated on the Rosneath Peninsula, which extends south from Garelochhead, separating Gare Loch and Loch Long, and forming the northern shore of the Firth of Clyde opposite Gourock. Nearby Kilcreggan offers a range of local amenities including a primary school, GP surgery, and a selection of shops such as a convenience store, bank, pharmacy, and post office. Kilcreggan Pier provides a regular passenger ferry service to Gourock, with onward connections to Glasgow, including Glasgow Airport and the city centre. A regular bus service also links Kilcreggan to Helensburgh, where there are rail connections to both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Well-established road networks connect Cove and Kilcreggan to neighbouring villages and towns including Rosneath, Clynder, and Helensburgh, via some of the most scenic driving routes in Argyll and Bute, with easy access onward to Loch Lomond and beyond.

Helensburgh, located approximately 16 miles away, is known for Hill House designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and as the birthplace of John Logie Baird. The town offers a wide range of amenities including Hermitage Academy, as well as private education at Lomond School, a modern swimming pool and leisure complex, and an 18-hole golf course. The world-famous Loch Lomond Golf Club, part of Scotland’s first national park, lies within 24 miles and hosts the Scottish Open alongside other international events. The surrounding area also offers excellent opportunities for fishing, water sports, and sailing on the Firth of Clyde, with access to the Kyles of Bute and the Crinan Canal, widely regarded as some of the most spectacular cruising waters in Scotland. Cove itself benefits from a sailing club, with additional marina and boat services available in nearby Rhu and Rosneath.

The scenic coastal route via Rosneath, Clynder, Garelochhead, and Helensburgh provides a beautiful drive into Glasgow. Alternatively, the faster MOD road from Arden, over Glen Fruin and towards Loch Lomond, offers equally impressive views, with commuting time to Glasgow of approximately one hour.
