Occupying an enviable position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular Kirn area, this detached home combines generous accommodation, excellent outdoor space and impressive views across the Clyde towards Cloch Lighthouse and the hills beyond. Presented in walk-in condition, the property offers flexible accommodation that can readily provide three or four bedrooms, depending on whether the dining room is retained or used as a third bedroom and the study/bedroom is utilised as a fourth. With a large driveway, carport, low-maintenance gardens and an elevated rock-face garden with an enviable view from the elevated seating, there is considerable outdoor appeal. The combination of family-friendly space, proximity to schools and the shorefront, and outstanding views makes this an appealing permanent home, holiday property or potential short-term rental.
Situated in the popular Kirn area, the property is well placed for enjoying the nearby shoreline and the wider amenities of Dunoon while retaining a peaceful residential setting. Schools, local facilities and the shorefront are within convenient reach, while the surrounding Cowal Peninsula provides extensive opportunities for walking, cycling, boating and exploring the area's coastline and countryside. The combination of accessibility, views and flexible accommodation makes the property equally suited to family life, a long-term 'forever home' or use as a holiday or short-term rental property.
