3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Fantastic opportunity to purchase a lovely deceptively spacious 3-bedroom semi-detached property in a popular part of Victoria Road, Dunoon. The property is in need of a certain amount of upgrading, but once complete it will make a stunning family home.

Cranford is located in an area with many similar aged and styles of properties and built in 1899. The property has a small garden to the front and a large garden to the rear which can be accessed from a lane which runs parallel to Victoria Road and cars can access the back garden from there. There is also a large stone-built workshop to the rear.

The property is entered via twin storm doors and a main front door which leads into the hallway. The hall way has many decorative features and a stair case leading to the upper floor. The sitting room is entered from a glazed door and the room benefits from a large bay window which lets light flood into the room and an open coal fire. The flooring is the original stripped back floor boards and the cornicing and ceiling rose are original decorative cornicing. The dining room is a spacious room with a window looking out to the back garden. The room is entered off the hallway and also leads into the kitchen which has wall and floor mounted kitchen units with plumbing for a washing machine and comes with an electric cooker. The back door leads into a small porch and in turn to the back garden. The hallway stairs lead to the half landing where the bathroom is located and it consists of a bath, toilet and wash hand basin all in white. The walls are tiled to half of the room height. Light is from the window to the rear.

On the upper floor are 3 bedrooms. The front bedroom is a large size double with a bay window to the front and could possibly be altered to fit an Ensuite with the appropriate planning consent. The second bedroom is to the rear and is another spacious double bedroom with the double window looking over the garden. Bedroom 3 is a good size single bedroom to the front of the property. There is a large storage cupboard on the upper landing.

The front garden is surrounded by a stone wall and a slabbed pathway to the front door. There is are many flowers and shrubs in a flower bed in front of the bay window.  The back garden has a drying green and a good sized stone workshop with 2 windows. Further back in the garden is an area which could be cleared and used either for a garage or as a parking area, although, there is space for both..

The property is in need of upgrading but once complete it would make a wonderful family home in a location which is within walking distance to the centre of Dunoon.

Early viewing is recommended as these type of properties are rarely available.

The property is at the top end of Victoria Road in the much sought after location in Dunoon. The local shops, hospital and doctors surgeries are within walking distance. Dunoon town has a good range of welcoming pubs and restaurants, a library, hospital, secondary school, concerts and events at The Queens Hall, cinema, swimming pool and leisure centre. Located on the scenic Cowal Peninsula in Argyll, Victoria Road is a short drive from Western Ferry terminal from where there are frequent passenger and vehicular sailings across to Gourock. 20 minutes’ walk from the property is the Calmac passenger ferry from Dunoon Pier. From here, the road and public transport links make it possible to commute on a daily basis to Glasgow and the central belt. It is equally possible to drive to Glasgow via Loch Lomond which takes a little longer but is via some of the most famous and breath-taking countryside in Western Scotland. As with most parts of Scotland, one is never too far from a golf course and Dunoon is no exception with the district having three challenging courses.

The expanding Holy Loch Marina is nearby with its berthing and associated chandlery services, an excellent base from which to sail and explore the world famous lower Clyde and Kyles of Bute inland sea lochs and waterways. Sea fishing is available on the Firth of Clyde and it is possible to fish for salmon and sea trout by permit on some of the rivers and lochs of the district, the River Eachaig and the freshwater Loch

Eck only a few minute- drive to the north. The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery. Benmore Botanic Garden and Pucks Glen is only five miles away and there are near endless walks, hill climbs and quiet country roads offering wonderful rambling and cycling country.
