Hazelwood, Shore Road, Colintraive, PA22 3AS

Description
Hazelwood is a detached bungalow type property completed in a combination of Fyfestone exterior and pebble dash finish, all neatly presented under a red tiled roof. The property sits within an enviable site within Colintraive with beautifully kept garden grounds which offer privacy and protected boundaries to Hazelwood. The gardens are broadly speaking laid to level lawns which wrap around the extent of the bungalow with an array of well-manicured colourful flower beds, bushes and specimen trees at its fringes. A small stream trickles through the gardens, whilst a lovely semi ancient native woodland forms the property’s backdrop. From the gardens there are panoramic views out across the famous east ‘Kyles of Bute’.

Hazelwood lends itself perfectly as a principal family home; Colintraive is also a well-known west of Scotland holiday and short break destination and so, Hazelwood offers new owners’ considerable scope as a second or income producing holiday home.

Situation
Hazelwood has a stunning coastal situation on the edge of the Cowal Peninsula just south west of the narrows of the famous Kyles of Bute. There are spectacular uninterrupted water views from the property over the East Kyle, where there is frequent passing of West of Scotland boating and sailing craft.

The area is famous for its stunning natural scenic beauty with deep and narrow sea lochs and high-sided glens which provide a scenic boating route through from the Clyde estuary to Colintraive, Tighnabruaich, Portavadie and the fishing village of Tarbert at Loch Fyne. From Ardrishaig near the head of Loch Fyne it is on through the Crinan Canal to the Western Isles.

Colintraive has a hotel with a friendly bar and an enviable reputation for gastro pub and restaurant cuisine, a shop, post office, heritage centre, community garden and an all-weather bowling green. From Colintraive there is a short and regular (every 30 minutes) Calmac ferry crossing to the neighbouring Island of Bute which takes 5 minutes journey time. The main town on Bute is Rothesay where there are local shops, a supermarket and a further ferry to the Clyde coast. The other main centre in the area is Dunoon which provides further shops, supermarket and services, in addition to two competing ferry services across the Clyde. Excellent local medical services are delivered from Tighnabruaich.

There is a local primary school at Glendaruel and secondary schooling is available at Dunoon Grammar, which has an excellent reputation. A school bus runs from Colintraive to Dunoon Grammar in the morning and afternoon to transport students to and from school. It is possible for some of the students to board at the school.

The area offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits including yachting and boating, golf, fishing, hill walking and country walks in an area rich in history. The Cowal Way stretches from Portavadie on Loch Fyne and travels for some 31 miles to Arrochar through some of the most dramatic and picturesque sea and landscapes on the west coast.

A scenic 9-hole golf course is at Kames, with further courses on the Island of Bute and at Dunoon. Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area as are a number of shoots run either commercially or by syndicates. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.

Local bus services run to Tighnabruaich, Rothesay and Dunoon.

The Braehead retail village to the west of Glasgow is only 47 miles (including a short ferry crossing over the Clyde) and has Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, a range of High Street multiples, plus an IKEA superstore. Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Morrisons each have large outlets in Greenock, circa 10 minutes (in normal driving conditions) from the Gourock ferry terminal.

The city of Glasgow is 50 miles by ferry and provides extensive retail, commercial, cultural, higher educational and leisure services.
