Property description

*****MASSIVE PRICE REDUCTION***** Extremely rare opportunity to purchase a traditional ‘But ‘n’ Ben’ with stunning views of the Kyles of Bute and the hills and countryside beyond. Set in large grounds Burnside Cottage has a sitting room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and the attic has been transformed into extra storage or guest sleeping area. The current owners previously applied for, and were granted, planning permission to build a luxury two bedroom ‘round house’ on the land so the new owner should also be able to develop if they so wish. However, if the option of upgrading the current property is more appealing then the cottage would make a fabulous holiday home, in a lovely setting.

The picturesque village of Kames sits on the Kyles of Bute and is famous for its scenic beauty and sailing waters. The village, along with neighbouring Tighnabruaich and Millhouse, benefits from small local independent retailers as well as a primary school, medical centre, church, post offices, bank, hotels, tea rooms / cafes, restaurants, and the Kames Hotel where locals and visitors alike are always made welcome to sample the fare and hospitality on offer. The area boasts a golf course, tennis court, shinty pitch, children’s play area, sailing clubs and the ever expanding, and growing in stature, Portavadie Marina. The world renowned steamer, Waverley, also regularly berths at the Tighnabruaich Pier.
