Property description
Ardenholm is a beautiful detached Georgian villa with 2 reception rooms, 3 double bedrooms plus a box room, breakfasting kitchen, utility room, study area, bathroom and shower room. Set in approximately 1 acre of lovingly maintained grounds, and in a peaceful setting, the property has recently been upgraded with a new roof, central heating boiler and complete redecoration in the last couple of years. This property would make an ideal home for a family looking for a large house, with massive garden, in walk-in condition.
Sandbank is approximately three miles from Dunoon, Cowal’s capital town. The village, which sits on the banks of the Holy Loch, boasts a marina, sailing club, village shop / post office, two pubs, primary school, bowling club and a children’s play area with basketball / 5-a-side football pitch. The famous Benmore Botanic Garden and Loch Eck are just a couple of miles further north. As well as everything that goes with a large seaside town, Dunoon also two ferry links to Gourock with rail and coach links meaning that Glasgow city centre is little more than an hour away, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and Greenock even closer.

The decking, patio area, several outhouses, perfect lawn, hedges, colourful trees and shrubs set in the large gardens are extremely pleasing on the eye, as well as being well thought out and a joy to relax or entertain in or just to wander round taking in the splendour.
