Absolutely stunning detached Victorian Villa in extremely sought-after shoreside setting in the coastal village of Blairmore. ‘Mossgiel’, on the banks of Loch Long, is a beautiful family home which has undergone internal and external improvements recently whilst maintaining the many period features ensuring the best of both worlds. The beauty and elegance of the property is immediately evident and obvious as soon as you enter that large driveway which leads to both the house and the extensive, and beautiful, gardens. The main section of the property consists of spacious sitting and dining rooms, both of which are loch-facing, a fabulous country-style dinking kitchen, 3 bedrooms, the master of which has a fabulous en-suite bathroom, fourth bedroom / study on the lower floor, huge family bathroom, cloakroom and large walk-in cupboard. Further, an apartment at the rear of the lower floor is fully self-sufficient with lounge, double bedroom, kitchen, shower room and private access at the side of the house making it an ideal ‘granny flat’ or potential Airbnb. The extensive gardens have been lovingly landscaped and tended and boast several outhouses including a new summerhouse, plenty of lawned areas, an orchard with apple, pear and cherry trees and a plethora of trees, plants, shrubs and flowers adding even more colour and character. Further, the current owners successfully applied for planning permission for a 1.5 storey, 3 bed detached cottage in the grounds and although this has now lapsed the new owner could reapply. This truly is a magnificent property in the most fantastic of locations and is sure to generate a huge amount of interest so early viewing is highly recommended. 

The picturesque village of Blairmore is set on the shores of Loch Long and boasts a few small independent shops, a lovely café which offers locally sourced produce, homebaking, light meals and speciality coffees and a restored pier at which the world famous paddle steamer ‘PS Waverley’ berths. The wider area is perfect for hill walking, is surrounded by natural beauty and is well served with a marina, sailing, golf and bowling clubs, a post office / mini market, village inn, medical centre, churches and a fantastic, award winning, primary school. A regular bus service ensures that the neighbouring villages of Strone, Kilmun and Ardentinny, as well as Dunoon, are easily accessible. In addition, there are two ferries to Gourock with rail and coach links meaning that Glasgow city centre is little more than an hour away, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and Greenock even closer.
