THE NEW GOLD COAST
CRAIGROWNIE CHURCH , COVE - DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
We are delighted to offer to the market a historic former church on the Rosneath Peninsula (the New Gold Coast) with former planning consent for conversion to 8 flats and two semi detached houses in the grounds at the rear 09/01464/PP
Over 150 years old and B-listed, the early English Gothic Church has lain empty for a number of years. Externally there are buttresses with a gabled bellcote cover over the chancel arch. Internally, the roof has open timber trusses giving a pleasing rustic ambience. The original black and white tiling is still visible just beyond the stained glass windows. The gates, gate piers and front boundary wall are attributed to Alexander Thomson
The Rosneath Peninsula projects south from Garelochhead, separating Gare Loch and Loch Long. The peninsula is reached by road from Garelochhead and is connected to the mainland at its northern end. Gare Loch has been used as a naval base since the 1930s and Faslane and Coulport Naval Bases are closeby The peninsula is 8 miles long and 2.5 miles wide at its widest point. A ridge runs across the middle from where there are spectacular views along the coastline to Rosneath, Kilcreggan and Cove.
Helensburgh is a large town with a full range of supermarkets, high street stores, independent shops and both local authority and private schools.
The accessibility of the Rosneath Peninsula has been greatly improved by the opening of the new Ministry of Defence road over the hills to Loch Lomond, and significantly reducing the journey time to Loch Lomond, the Erskine Bridge and Glasgow Airport.
There is also a wide variety of recreational facilities, with good sports clubs and outdoor pursuits such as the sailing clubs locally, also in Helensburgh and nearby Rhu.
Both locally and in Helensburgh, there is excellent primary and secondary schooling, both state and private. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance, being only forty minutes by car. Glasgow International Airport is conveniently reached via the Erskine Bridge.
. As roads and vehicles developed in the 1800's resulting in steamer traffic declining and gradual closing of the piers, Kilcreggan Pier remains the only traditional pier on the Clyde still in daily use. Kilcreggan has a rich architectural heritage of Victorian mansions and castles, with famous architects such as Alexander Greek Thomson, William Leiper and John Honeyman among those who built impressive homes for wealthy clients here.
With unrivalled waterfront view and close to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park this is a unique development opportunity. Please contact G & S Properties on 0141.942.9090 for further information
Directions - From Helensburgh drive west through Rhu onto Garelochhead. Follow the road continuing through Rosneath to Kilcreggan. Continue through Kilcreggan onto Shore Rd where the property lies on the right marked in red on the attached map.
