A UNIQUE FAMILY HOME LOCATED JUST YARDS FROM GREENOCK ESPLANADE

Offering generous accommodation arranged across two separate buildings linked by an internal corridor, this distinctive home provides a level of space, privacy and flexibility rarely found in such a sought-after coastal location. While some areas would benefit from a programme of upgrading, the underlying proportions, layout and exceptional private grounds provide an excellent foundation for creating a superb family home.

The welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the principal areas of the home and leads into a raised dining area, creating a natural transition between the accommodation. From here, stairs descend to the main lounge, a generously proportioned reception room which enjoys direct access to the gardens via sliding patio doors. This connection between the living accommodation and outdoor space creates a particularly appealing area for relaxation and entertaining.

The spacious kitchen is well positioned overlooking the private gardens and currently incorporates a range of floor and wall-mounted units, providing excellent storage and workspace. Large windows ensure the room benefits from a pleasant outlook across the established garden grounds.

A separate utility area provides an excellent practical addition to the accommodation, with useful storage and workspace together with direct access to the rear drying green. This is an ideal space for everyday household requirements and further enhances the functionality of the home.

Two spacious bedrooms are located on the ground floor, both offering excellent proportions and the considerable benefit of walk-in closets. These additional spaces provide superb storage and could potentially be adapted to suit a variety of requirements depending upon the needs of the new owner.

A ground floor shower room completes this level and provides a practical bathroom facility, incorporating a WC, tiled vanity area and shower provision.

Stairs lead to the upper level where the principal bedroom enjoys an elevated position within the property, with pleasant aspects towards both the front and rear gardens. The room offers excellent proportions and represents a private and peaceful principal bedroom suite.

The fourth bedroom is also located on this level and is currently utilised as a study, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. This room could equally serve as a bedroom, home office, hobby room or additional reception space depending upon individual requirements.

Completing the upper floor is an exceptionally spacious family bathroom, featuring a WC, bidet, bath and vanity unit, together with two substantial storage cupboards ideal for linen, towels and household essentials.

One of the property's standout features is its beautiful mature private gardens, offering an unusual degree of seclusion and outdoor space given the highly desirable location. A private courtyard provides valuable off-street parking, while a further enclosed drying green to the rear adds to the practicality of the grounds. The combination of mature planting, established gardens and generous external space creates a peaceful setting and is a particularly rare feature for a property so close to the Esplanade and waterfront.
