Property description
Vine Cottage is a deceptively spacious and recently modernised detached bungalow on the shores of Loch Long. Set in its own private gardens the cottage has 4 bedrooms, loch-facing sitting and family / dining rooms, large dining kitchen with AGA cooker, utility room, bathroom, shower room and fabulous reception hallway. The property has recently undergone upgrading and modernisation, including wall insulation, and, as such, would make an ideal full-time residence or holiday home in a truly stunning location.
The picturesque village of Blairmore is set on the shores of Loch Long and boasts a few small independent shops and a recently restored pier at which the world famous paddle steamer ‘PS Waverley’ berths. The area is perfect for hill walking, is surrounded by natural beauty and is well served with a marina, sailing, golf and bowling clubs, a post office / mini market, hotels, pub, medical centre, churches and a fantastic, award winning, primary school. A regular bus service ensures that the neighbouring villages of Strone, Kilmun and Ardentinny, as well as Dunoon, are easily accessible. In addition, there are two ferries 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.
