Description
The striking property combines traditional charm with modern living. The white rendered façade and larch-clad rear extension sit under a slate roof, creating a beautifully cohesive design. The light-filled interior spans two easily managed levels, with rear facing rooms enjoying uninterrupted waterscape views.
The home is ideal as a primary residence, second home or investment opportunity for holiday lettings. Its immaculate “walk-in” condition ensures comfort and convenience.

Outer front door to welcoming entrance hallway with slate flooring, vaulted ceiling with 1 x Velux window, good under stair storage, cupboard housing the electrical switch gear, formal sitting room with warming multifuel burner, window overlooking front gardens, bedroom 1 (principal) with window overlooking front gardens, low level step lighting leading to fully integrated contemporary kitchen with slate roof, LED lit skylight, window overlooking river setting, contemporary family bathroom with overhead shower and heated towel rail, day room/formal dining room with exposed stone feature wall, slate floor, floor to ceiling picture frame window and door overlooking rear terrace, river setting and uninterrupted views across Loch Fyne.
First Floor
Via oak staircase to first floor landing, bedroom 2 with eaves storage and waterscape views, contemporary family shower room with underfloor heating and heated towel rail, bedroom 3 (currently used as home office/studio) with eaves storage and waterscape views.
Gardens
The beautifully presented front garden is accessed via a personal gate and is laid mainly to gravel with an assortment of colourful flower beds and shrubs, all of which are bound by an exposed stone wall. Twin leaf steel gates offer access to a driveway for vehicular parking. The rear garden is accessible via the side of the cottage and is laid to a generous terrace, which is supported and protected by significant retaining rock armour. This serene space is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining guests, as well as enjoying the views and the tranquil flow of the Leacainn Water as it bubbles past on its way to Loch Fyne.
Situation
3 Burnside Cottages is set within the pretty village of Furnace on the western shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll & Bute. Originally constructed to accommodate employees of the historic iron furnace situated directly across from the cottage and from which the village derives its name.
Furnace is located on the A83 which connects Inveraray and Lochgilphead. It has a shop/post office, primary school, health centre and a weekend bar in the Village Hall. Inveraray (8 miles to the north-east) and Lochgilphead (16.8 miles to the south-west) provide an excellent range of further local amenities, shops and professional services. The district is well served by both primary and secondary education with FE/HE College learning centre in the latter.
Glasgow, about 71 miles away, offers a full range of higher and further education services, as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city. The A83 and A82 offer swift access to central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (34 miles) providing access to the main west coast line to Glasgow. The village is also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban via Inveraray or Lochgilphead.
The locality of Loch Fyne-side offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits including cross-country cycle routes, hill walks and challenging climbs; Brainport Heritage Trail and Solar Alignment just a short walk along the shores of Loch Fyne towards Minard Castle; the famous Crarae National Trust Gardens; events and entertainment in Minard and Furnace village halls; a cross-country drive to Loch Awe; and Auchindrain Museum reached by the River Leacainn Walk out of Furnace.
The area is very well supplied with golf courses. The nearest are the 9-hole course at Inveraray and full courses at Lochgilphead, Oban and, an hour and a half away, near Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre, two major courses: the Old Tom Morris designed Machrihanish course and the Machrihanish Dunes course, an ecologically sensitive challenge and the first ever to be built on a Site of Special Scientific Interest.’
Mid-Argyll presents some of the most dramatic seascapes and landscapes on the West Coast of Scotland. Sea, river and loch fishing is easily available, as are a number of organised private and commercial low ground shoots as well as deer-stalking. There are excellent opportunities for boating/yachting on Loch Fyne, leading not only to the Clyde estuary but also to the Crinan Canal across the Mull of Kintyre to the Hebrides and the Atlantic. The Lochgair and Minard Moorings Group offer mooring opportunities for prospective boat owners.

Mains water supply, drainage is by private septic tank, oil fired central heating supported by a warming multi fuel burning stove, electric blanket under floor heating to the ground floor laid to slate (each room with separate control), double and triple glazed.
