2 bedroom cottage for sale

Dating back to the late 19th century, “West Cottage” is a quaint, rarely available, detached stone built traditional chocolate box cottage that is tucked away along a quiet almost traffic free lane. The cottage sits in an idyllic, tranquil spot, within beautiful garden grounds and with stunning views to the surrounding hills, including Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps. The original cottage was further extended around forty three years ago. Both inside and out, the property has been finished to an exceptional standard, having undergone a sympathetic programme of modernisation and upgrading over the past few years.

The cottage combines delightful period details together with a modern high end specification, with exposed stone walls featuring throughout, a wood burning stove in the comfortable and cosy lounge/dining room, natural wood floors and traditionally styled, yet modern, double glazed windows.

Surrounding the cottage are beautiful garden grounds, and being a keen gardener, the current owner has further enhanced them with the addition of more bedded areas including a kitchen garden, a greenhouse with slabbed patio adjacent, decked terrace and other mature planting, with hedging to the front and on either side and with woodland forming a fantastic backdrop. All the gardens enjoy the fantastic views, with the decked terrace affording all day long sunshine. The gardens also provide extensive driveway parking for several vehicles and there is also a timber garden shed.

On entering this charming cottage, a lovely entrance vestibule with quarry tiled floor and exposed stone walls leads through to an inner reception hallway (again with exposed stone wall). To the front of the cottage, the cosy and comfortable lounge features more exposed stone, a wood burning stove and a door out to the front garden. Semi open plan with the lounge is the dining room at the rear. There are two double bedrooms (both with lit recessed alcoves) and the modern and stylish shower room has been refitted with a large shower enclosure and vanity wash hand basin and wc. The property is warmed by a system of oil fired central heating and there is electric underfloor heating in the hall, shower room and kitchen.

The small and extremely picturesque village of Tarbet is located on the western shore of Loch Lomond and is within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The village is home to just a small selection of cottages and has a primary school and railway station on the West Highland Line with a sleeper service to London. Extensive work is also underway on Tarbet Pier to upgrade and enhance the local area. It is perfectly placed for access to the towns of Helensburgh, Balloch and Dumbarton, all of which are within easy reach. Glasgow is only forty miles away with the airport approximately thirty three miles away by road, across the Erskine Bridge. The prestigious Loch Lomond Golf Club is a few minutes’ drive from the property as is the Cameron Club Golf resort and Spa. The area is synonymous with those who enjoy the outdoor life with beautiful scenery surrounding the village, with water-sports on the loch, country walks, hill climbs and a fantastic selection of wildlife.
