4 bedroom detached house

*CLOSING DATE - TUESDAY 2ND MAY AT 12 NOON* Commanding an elevated position above Argyll Road with views across the Firth of Clyde, “Walden” is a handsome detached stone built Victorian villa dating back to around 1870. The property sits amidst beautiful, mature and well laid out garden grounds and the interior combines a wealth of period features along with a modern specification, having been modernised, upgraded and improved by the current owners. The house extends to over 2400 square feet and is a perfect family home located in one of the West of Scotland’s most picturesque settings.

The gardens feature a driveway that leads up from the road providing parking to the rear of the property. From the driveway there is access to the front garden where there is a raised timber decked terrace that enjoys all day long sunshine and spectacular views over the water. The front gardens feature mature plants, shrubs, bushes and flower beds along with a lawned area and with the gardens to the rear featuring further expanses of lawns along with a patio and mature trees interspersed throughout. A feature of the gardens to the rear is the substantial stone built former stable block/coach house. This combines a garage/storage area with workshop facilities along with a staircase leading up to further mezzanine storage above. This would be fantastic to convert into a self-contained cottage (subject to the necessary consents).

The interior of the property is spacious and well laid out over its two floors with the ground floor consisting of an entrance vestibule opening into the main reception hall with staircase to the upper landing. The large and grand bay windowed formal lounge is to the front of the property and features a period style fire surround with open fire. On the other side of the hall there is access to a semi-open plan dining room, with a wood burning stove and with the kitchen located at the rear of this room which is a country style modern refitted kitchen. Behind the lounge is a useful downstairs study/bedroom and to the rear of the house there is a wc compartment and large utility room. Accessed from the dining room, a door leads into a comfortable sitting room to the side of the property which would be an ideal children’s playroom and from here there is access through to the rear where there is a back hall giving access to a boiler cupboard and with a door leading out to the back garden. Moving onto to the upstairs accommodation, on the half landing, there is a large family bathroom that features a walk-in shower, stand alone roll top bath, wc and wash hand basin. This has been beautifully modernised and is very stylish in design. Moving onto the main landing, it gives access to four sizeable double bedrooms, with the master bedroom being a bay windowed room taking in fantastic views and with an adjacent walk-in dressing room. This space could be converted into an ensuite bathroom if required.

The village of Kilcreggan is located on the Rosneath Peninsula and it provides local shops, a primary school health centre and has a lovely village community feel. The nearby village of Cove is only a short drive away as are the villages of Rosneath, Clynder and Garelochhead. Kilcreggan provides a pedestrian ferry across the Firth of Clyde to Gourock where there is a train link into Glasgow and the larger town of Helensburgh is just half an hour’s drive away from Kilcreggan, providing a wide selection of shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and schooling. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance, as is the International Airport and the location is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors with great sailing on the waters of the Clyde, along with some beautiful scenery and wildlife all within a short distance.
