Artarman Road, Rhu, G84

Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present to the market Ardlea, a truly unique opportunity to acquire a substantial six-bedroom detached villa, set within generous and beautifully established grounds in one of Rhu’s most prestigious addresses.

Having been lovingly owned and carefully maintained by the same family for over 70 years, Ardlea is a rare addition to the open market and offers an exceptional opportunity to create a stunning family home.

Accessed via Artarman Road, the property occupies an elevated plot extending to approximately two-thirds of an acre, enjoying a high degree of privacy along with attractive open aspects.

The internal accommodation extends to over 2,800 sq ft and is well-proportioned throughout. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance porch leads into an impressive reception hallway. There is a spacious lounge with patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, a formal dining room featuring a charming wood-burning stove, a well-appointed kitchen, utility room, pantry, additional sitting room, and a convenient WC.

The upper level offers six generously sized double bedrooms, including a principal suite with a walk-in dressing area and en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom, while a versatile family room completes the accommodation.

Externally, the garden grounds are a standout feature of the property. Predominantly south-facing, the expansive lawn provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, as well as a safe and enjoyable space for children and pets. The grounds are further enhanced by a variety of mature borders, shrubs, and trees, creating a peaceful and private environment. Ample off-street parking is available, in addition to a double garage.

While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation and potential reconfiguration—particularly to create a more contemporary open-plan layout—it presents significant scope for enhancement and value addition.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, setting, and potential of this exceptional home.
