Description

Elmbank is a stunning 4-bedroom, 3 public rooms with stunning south facing views of the Clyde Estuary in the much sought after village of Strone, Dunoon.
Set in a beautiful ½ an acre of garden this traditional 4-bedroom property would make a lovely family home for those looking for a tranquil area with stunning south facing views of the Clyde Estuary in the much sought after village of Strone near Dunoon.

The property is entered through a generous conservatory, a wonderfully bright space with ample room for seating and relaxation. From here, the uninterrupted sea views take centre stage, offering a perfect spot to enjoy the ever changing outlook across the Clyde.
The hallway is immediately impressive, showcasing a wealth of original period features including decorative cornicing, deep skirting boards and a sense of scale that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
The sitting room is an elegant and inviting space, ideal for unwinding. A newly installed wood burning stove creates a cosy focal point, while the large windows — complete with a charming window seat area and sweeping south facing views towards the Clyde Estuary, the Isle of Bute and, in the distance, the Isle of Arran. The beautifully preserved cornicing adds further character and charm.
The dining room provides an excellent setting for entertaining, with generous proportions and another outlook towards the water, making every mealtime feel special.
A snug completes the public rooms — a peaceful, intimate space perfect for reading, quiet moments or simply retreating with a cup of tea.
The kitchen is well appointed, offering an excellent range of floor and wall mounted units together with an integrated eye level double oven and electric hob. There is ample space for a breakfasting table, making it a sociable and practical area for everyday family living. A large utility room sits just off the kitchen — a bright lean to space with generous room for modern laundry appliances and additional storage.
At the end of the hallway lies a bright and spacious shower room, fitted with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and extensive built in storage cupboards.
The upper floor is reached via a splendid period staircase, leading first to a half landing where the family bathroom and separate WC are located.
On the upper floor itself are four generous bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a home office. Bedrooms One and Two enjoy superb views across the Clyde towards the Western Ferries terminal, bringing ever changing coastal scenery right into the home. The upper landing also features a charming and unusual curved ceiling, adding further character to this already distinctive property.

External Grounds
Externally, Elmbank sits within mature, well established gardens enclosed by attractive stone walls. A wrought iron double gate opens onto the driveway, leading into a wonderfully varied outdoor space that includes raised vegetable beds, mature trees, a private patio area and numerous sheltered corners to enjoy the sun throughout the day.
A traditional coach house sits within the grounds — currently requiring some upgrading but offering exciting potential as a workshop, studio or even a self contained annexe (subject to consents).

Location & Lifestyle
Strone is a highly desirable coastal village, offering a peaceful lifestyle with essential amenities close by. A local store and coffee shop are within a five minute walk, while nearby Blairmore provides an additional café/restaurant, and Ardentinny offers further dining options. Dunoon, approximately seven miles away, provides a wider range of shops, services, a library, hospital, leisure centre and swimming pool.
For those commuting or exploring further afield, Greenock is around 13 miles away via the Western Ferries crossing, while Braehead Retail Village — with its extensive choice of major retailers — is approximately 33 miles from the ferry terminal.
Schooling is well catered for, with a primary school in Strone and both primary and secondary options in Dunoon.

Outdoor Pursuits
Set within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and the Argyll Forest, the area offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. Benmore’s towering Californian redwoods, the tranquil waters of Loch Eck and the salmon rich River Eachaig are all just a short drive away. Quiet roads, forest trails and hillside tracks make this a haven for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
For sailing enthusiasts, the Firth of Clyde is renowned as one of western Europe’s most scenic sailing destinations. Marina and chandlery facilities are available at the Holy Loch, Port Bannatyne, Portavadie, Inverkip and Largs. Holy Loch Marina & Sailing Club is around 15 minutes’ drive from the property, with plans underway to expand berthing, parking and add a licensed restaurant and retail units.
