Description

Drum Cottage is a traditional 3 bedroom Scottish cottage built circa 1693 and is the last standing cottage in a settlement which has long since gone. Drum has panoramic views sweeping the surrounding countryside.

The Cottage consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 sitting rooms, shower room, and a utility/workshop area and the front porch. The garden measures just over an acre and is a picturesque garden with many varying types of trees and shrubs and is a pleasure to walk around. There is parking for 3 -4 cars.

On the lower floor are 2 bedrooms, one is a single bed and one can take a double bed, both are to the rear of the property. The entrance porch is a lovely area to sit and look out to the hills and the glen below which is south facing. A sitting room is located between the 2 bedrooms and is a good size with stunning views over the hills. The kitchen/Breakfast room is the heart of the cottage where it benefits from a wood burning stove set in a brick built fire surround. The kitchen area is to the rear and has many wall mounted and floor mounted kitchen units, an electric cooker and stainless steel sink unit. The stairs lead to the upper floor. The shower room consists of a shower cubicle with an electric shower, toilet, wash hand basin all in white and an electric heated towel rail. The utility/workshop area is currently fitted out for storing tools and could be used to store a washing machine and dryer. The back door access’s the side of the cottage from here.

On the upper floor is a large double bedroom to one side and an office/hobby area both are spacious rooms.

Drum Cottage is in a rural location with very few other house nearby and is in a beautiful location with commanding views. The hamlet of Kilfinan is a short drive or walk over the hills where you will find The Kilfinan Hotel which started off as a coaching inn over 300 years ago and has a well-stocked bar with a kitchen serving a seasonal menu. Kilfinan Church is located in the centre of the Hamlet. There are numerous woodland and seashore areas to explore, some with paths and cycle ways, bustling with natural flora and fauna. Kilfinan consists of 12 houses and 3 working farms, the historic Kilfinan Hotel.The hamlet also has a church and community village hall. Kames and Tighnabruaich villages have local shops and services that easily cater for most everyday needs and requirements. Dunoon offers a further and fuller range of shopping, educational and professional services as would be expected of a regional market town. The short crossing CalMac ferry from Portavadie leads to Tarbert where there are fuller shops and services, the ferry adding an interesting waterscape dimension to a weekly shop.

There are outstanding beaches in the area, some sandy, some rocky. Ostel Bay for example, has a stunning crescent shaped, white sandy beach and is one of the gems of Argyll’s scenic coast.

This area is part of “Argyll’s Secret Coast”, which stretches from Strachur at the top of Loch Fyne round the coast to Colintraive. There are countless opportunities to discover peaceful locations, glens, rivers and all the wildlife the country is famous for. Portavadie Spa and Marina is less than one mile away and has in recent years seen significant investment in creating a modern state of the art Marina infrastructure, with associated chandlery, restaurant, accommodation and spa facilities. The Marina is fast gaining a reputation among the sailing communities as a must go to destination and many drive to the Marina for culinary days and evenings out. A wonderful area to live in.

This delightful cottage style house represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a characterful home in a highly sought-after location. With its three bedrooms, two reception rooms, and charming appeal, it is perfectly suited for families, couples, or anyone looking to embrace the tranquil Scottish lifestyle. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm and potential this wonderful property has to offer.
