Occupying an enviable position within the popular coastal village of Port Bannatyne, this is an attractive traditional semi-detached house offering generous family accommodation over two levels.

The property is immaculately presented and is finished to an impressive, high standard of decorative order.

The rooms are bright, comfortable and well appointed, while a number of attractive period features have been retained, giving the house a distinctive sense of character and warmth.

Combining period character with comfortable modern living, the property enjoys an exceptional outlook across the sheltered waters of Port Bannatyne Bay towards Loch Striven, the Kyles of Bute and the wider Firth of Clyde, with the mountains and glens of the west of Scotland forming a spectacular backdrop.

The house extends to approximately 156 sq m and provides four bedrooms, well-proportioned living accommodation, a spacious dining kitchen, bathroom, utility provision and useful ancillary storage.

With its combination of character, scale, views and coastal setting, it would make an appealing permanent home, island retreat or holiday residence.

A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into the main hallway, providing access to the principal rooms.

The formal lounge is a particularly attractive reception space, featuring a bay window overlooking the front garden and a traditional fireplace. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light while framing aspects towards the surrounding landscape.

The impressive dining kitchen forms the heart of the home. Well proportioned and designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, it incorporates a central island with informal breakfasting space, a dining area and a log-burning stove. Doors provide access towards the garden and raised decking area.

A useful utility room, together with excellent under-stair storage and additional cupboards, completes the ground floor accommodation.

A carpeted staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where four bedrooms are arranged around a central hallway and you can enjoy views towards the water and attractive aspects towards the coast and gardens.

The family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower enclosure.

The property is approached through a wrought iron gate and paved pathway, with the front garden laid principally to gravel and enclosed by a low stone wall.

The rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance, incorporating areas of paving, gravel and timber decking enclosed by timber fencing.

Location
Port Bannatyne is one of the Isle of Bute's most attractive coastal settlements, situated approximately 2 miles north of Rothesay.
The village enjoys a sheltered position on the eastern side of the island and is particularly well known for its boating and sailing facilities. The surrounding coastline, islands and mountains create an outstanding setting for those looking to enjoy the best of west coast Scotland.

For the outdoor enthusiast, Bute offers exceptional opportunities for walking, cycling, golf, sailing, fishing and watersports, while the famous Kyles of Bute provide a superb sailing environment. Rothesay, the island's principal town, is approximately 2½ miles away and provides a broader range of shops, services, leisure facilities and amenities.

From the dramatic coastline and sheltered bays to rolling countryside and panoramic views across the Firth of Clyde, the island provides an exceptional environment for both permanent living and leisure.

The main ferry connection operates between Rothesay and Wemyss Bay, with a crossing time of approximately 35 minutes. Wemyss Bay has a railway station providing connections towards Glasgow, making the island surprisingly accessible from the central belt.

A second ferry operates between Rhubodach and Colintraive, providing access to Cowal and the wider Argyll and west Highland area.
Glasgow and Prestwick airports are approximately 40 and 50 minutes respectively from Wemyss Bay under normal driving conditions.
