*CLOSING DATE MONDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER @ 12 NOON* Letrualt Farm sits in a magnificent location at the top end of Letrualt Farm Lane and commands spectacular views across the waters of the Gareloch to the Rosneath Peninsula. The original farm house dates back at least 150 years, with the property having been considerably extended, redeveloped and remodelled over the years providing four additional bedrooms upstairs in the 1970’s. Its fair to say that the property does require a degree of modernisation and upgrading, yet it does offer spectacular family accommodation over its two floors extending to over 2238 square feet. The property sits amidst extensive garden grounds that are believed to extend to between two and three acres and immediately adjacent to the house, on either side there are two substantial farm buildings. The site offers great potential for further redevelopment and is likely to appeal to those with equestrian interests due to the available additional land. Please note that the vendor has received planning permission to redevelop the house and one of the byres. Clyde Property are able to provide a copy of the proposed drawings on request. Potential purchasers can also view the decision notice and other relevant documents on the Argyll and Bute Council website in the Planning section (Ref : 22/01888/PP)


The property is entered from the lane where there is extensive parking to one side and to the front of the property, a large lawned area with decked terrace is great for entertaining and enjoying the views. Beyond this there is a further paddock. In total the garden grounds surrounding the property extend to between two and three acres and as mentioned there are two substantial outbuildings adjacent to the farm house both of which are requiring attention. There is a gravelled and partly surfaced driveway along the rear side of the property which gives access to a courtyard area and to one side of the outbuildings is a further hard standing area. In addition to the two to three acres of formal gardens that surround the property there is a further twenty acres or thereby of land to the north west which is included as part of the overall sale. This additional ground will not be sold separately. The additional land consists of mature woodland and numerous fields which are currently rented to a neighbouring farmer for rough grazing. There are various water courses running through this land and numerous tracks run through the fields to the rear with one leading up to the bridge under the West Highland railway line. Please note that the Home Report valuation pertains only to the farmhouse, outbuildings and the two to three acres of immediate grounds and does not include the additional twenty acres of land being sold.


On entering the house, on the ground floor there is a reception hall leading to a lounge, a separate dining room, dining kitchen, utility room and cloakroom and on the upper level, there are five generous sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom. Windows are replacement uPVC double glazed units and there is mains gas in to the property with a combination boiler.


Letrualt Farm Lane enjoys a quiet, traffic free and semi rural setting on the edge of the conservation village of Rhu, it is elevated and enjoys a great deal of privacy and with the nearby village providing good local amenities that include a highly regarded primary school, convenience store, church and recently upgraded local pub. The larger town of Helensburgh is approximately three miles drive away and offers a wider selection on amenities and these include primary and secondary schools as well as private schooling at the highly regarded Lomond School. There is a selection of shops and supermarkets in the town along with banks, bars, restaurants and cafes. Three train stations serve Helensburgh and provide regular and direct services to Glasgow, Edinburgh, up the west coast and even a sleeper service to London from Helensburgh Upper station. Helensburgh and Rhu are also well placed for commuting to Glasgow which can be reached by car in under an hour as can the international airport via the Erskine Bridge. The local area is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors, with a wide variety of sporting and leisure facilities in and around Rhu and Helensburgh. These include the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club in Rhu which offers great sailing on the Firth of Clyde and Gareloch. Loch Lomond is just a short drive away and provides world class hotel and leisure facilities, with golf courses and some of Scotland's most spectacular and iconic scenery. EPC Band - E.
