Douglas Cottage: A Charming Semi-Rural Retreat with Potential
Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Cladich, on the eastern shores of the renowned Loch Awe, lies Douglas Cottage – a delightful traditional stone-built cottage that has been thoughtfully extended and offers a unique opportunity to embrace a tranquil semi-rural lifestyle. This charming property boasts beautiful landscaped gardens, versatile outbuildings, and excellent potential for further expansion.
Step inside to discover a comfortable layout featuring a welcoming lounge, a sociable dining kitchen – perfect for family meals and entertaining – a family bathroom, and two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The cottage exudes character with many traditional features, complemented by the modern comforts of double glazing and the cosy warmth of two multi-fuel stoves, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere year-round.
The integral garage presents a fantastic asset, offering ample storage or the exciting possibility of conversion into a large double bedroom, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. This adds significant potential to tailor the property to your specific needs.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens are a true haven. Divided into distinct sections, you'll find areas dedicated to vegetable production, lush lawns, colourful flower borders, and a particularly attractive pond complete with surrounding decking – an ideal spot for relaxation. Two separate decked terraces, situated on either side of the cottage, allow you to follow the sun throughout the day and provide perfect settings for outdoor dining and enjoying the serene surroundings.
For those seeking a dedicated workspace or hobby room, a substantial timber outbuilding with power and light offers an excellent solution for a workshop or home office.
