Gardens
Front stone wall to tarmac drive leading to vehicular hard standing and parking area. The front gardens at The Manse are broadly laid to a tarmac with various mature beds and bushes at its fringes. The rear gardens can be reached via a personal close board timber fence and are broadly laid to a mature lawn which is tiered over two levels. The rear gardens are bound by a stone wall and mature beds and bushes, all of which offers privacy.
Situation
The Manse is located in the ribbon coastal settlement of Blairmore which is on the mainland in the west of Scotland and at the confluence of the firth of Clyde, The Gare Loch and Loch Long.
From its fine coastal position there are spectacular waterscape views towards the land mass of the Roseneath Peninsula which is adjacent and further north to the high sided mountains and glens above Lochgoilhead.
Neighbouring Strone has a local provisions store, café and there is a well stocked grocery store at Cot House garage. There is a popular art café in Blairmore which also has a provisions store, and restaurants nearby in Ardentinny, Coylet and the Whistlefield.
The town of Dunoon, the capital of the Cowal Peninsula is nine miles away, has more extensive facilities as well as a library, hospital, leisure centre and swimming pool.
Greenock, (by ferry crossing), is about 15 miles, and the Braehead retail village at 35 miles, offer many of the major high street multiples. There is a primary school in Strone and both further primary and secondary schooling in Dunoon, Dunon Gramme has recently been voted the best school in the world.
Set within the National Park and the Argyll Forest, The Manse is only a few minutes’ drive from the towering Californian redwoods at Benmore botanic garden and the stunning beauty of the freshwater Loch Eck. Salmon and sea trout run the nearby River Eachaig.
The area is renowned for its natural beauty with many miles of quiet roads, forest trails and hillside tracks. For sailing enthusiasts, the Firth of Clyde offers some of the most scenic sailing in western Europe and there are marina and chandlery services at The Holy Loch, Port Bannatyne, Portavadie, Inverkip and Largs. The Holy Loch Marina & Sailing Club is approx. 15 minutes’ drive away and there are plans to extend this to provide additional berths, car parking and the erection of a licensed restaurant and retail units. The Waverly paddle steamer often visits the nearby Blairmore pier.
Subject to Crown Estate approval, there is the possibility of arranging for a mooring directly in front of the house.
As with most parts of Scotland one is never too far from a golf course and The Manse is no exception, the Blairmore and Strone Golf club is about a mile to the south of The Manse.
