Approached through stone pillars from Main Road, a driveway leads into the property where ample parking is provided. The mature gardens create an impressive sense of privacy, with the house positioned within its own established grounds and enjoying an appealing leafy outlook.
On entering, the L-shaped hallway immediately gives a sense of the practical layout, with useful storage cupboards providing excellent everyday convenience. The principal living accommodation is particularly appealing, comprising a fabulous lounge/sitting room with ample space for freestanding furniture and a three-piece suite. A feature fire surround provides an attractive focal point, while glazed doors open directly onto the rear gardens, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The well-proportioned dining kitchen is fitted with a good range of storage units and includes an inset gas hob with oven beneath and overhead extractor hood. Tiled flooring provides a practical finish, while the kitchen also gives access to the rear hallway.

From here, there is direct access to the conservatory, along with the wall-mounted boiler serving the central heating system and access to a compact utility area with plumbing for an automatic washing machine. The conservatory enjoys a pitched polycarbonate roof and wonderful views across the rear garden. This versatile room provides an ideal additional sitting or dining space and is perfectly placed to enjoy the garden throughout the changing seasons.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which are tastefully decorated. The principal bedroom benefits from a fully tiled en-suite shower room comprising a WC, wash hand basin and coordinating shower enclosure with shower.
The family bathroom is similarly well proportioned and features a freestanding claw-foot bath, wash hand basin and WC, together with a separate shower enclosure incorporating an electric shower.

Outside, the gardens are undoubtedly one of the property’s most attractive features. Extending around the house, the mature and well-tended grounds provide a wonderful degree of privacy and offer plenty of scope for outdoor seating, gardening and entertaining. A raised deck is accessed directly from the conservatory, while a paved pathway meanders through the garden towards the property’s generous parking area. The driveway is accessed from Main Road through attractive stone pillars.

The Orchard represents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow offering spacious, adaptable accommodation on one level, together with substantial private garden grounds and excellent parking. Its peaceful setting, convenient village location and easy access to the surrounding countryside and Clyde-side amenities combine to create a particularly appealing home.

Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the flexibility, setting and considerable charm of this distinctive Cardross property.
The Orchard enjoys a particularly appealing position within Cardross, a well-established village on the northern shore of the River Clyde, conveniently positioned between Helensburgh and Dumbarton. The village combines a peaceful semi-rural atmosphere with an excellent range of everyday amenities, making it an attractive location for those looking to enjoy village life without sacrificing accessibility. Cardross is approximately four miles from Helensburgh and around 20 miles west of Glasgow.
For day-to-day convenience, the village offers a useful selection of local facilities, including a convenience store, newsagent, pharmacy, post office and other independent businesses. Cardross also has its own primary school, providing schooling from Primary 1 through Primary 7, with early learning provision available locally.

The village has an active community atmosphere, with sporting and leisure facilities including Cardross Golf Club, bowling, tennis and football. The surrounding area is equally appealing for those who enjoy getting outdoors, with the River Clyde shoreline, Cardross Beach and the scenic walking routes around Ardmore Point providing opportunities for leisurely walks and enjoying the surrounding landscape.

A particularly attractive local destination is Ardardan Estate, situated just outside Cardross towards Helensburgh, with its farm shop, nursery and family attractions. The wider area also provides easy access to some of the spectacular scenery associated with the Clyde, Helensburgh, Loch Lomond and the surrounding Argyll countryside.

Transport connections are another significant advantage. Cardross railway station is within the village and is served by ScotRail, providing rail connections towards Helensburgh and Glasgow and onward connections across the wider rail network. The station also has step-free access and parking facilities. The A814 provides the principal road connection through Cardross, linking the village with Helensburgh and Dumbarton, while local bus services provide an additional transport option. The combination of road, rail and bus connections makes Cardross particularly convenient for commuting while retaining the character and atmosphere of a traditional village community.

For those seeking a home that balances tranquillity, generous private gardens and single-level living with access to shops, schooling, leisure facilities, countryside and transport links, The Orchard offers an especially attractive opportunity in this popular Clyde-side location.
