'Woodstone Cottage' represents the culmination of considerable endeavour, flair and investment on the part of the imaginative owners.

This locally admired, newly renovated residence occupies a cherished position within the conservation area of Rhu and is situated less than 150 metres from the northern shore of the river Clyde and Rhu marina.

Distinguished by its defining enclosed courtyard 'Woodstone Cottage' is considered to be of sufficient architectural importance to merit a 'C' listing by Historic Scotland and combines classical features with a contemporary interior. The adaptable accommodation and 4 car garaging provides potential for further development and the property is presented to the market in show-house condition.

Built in the early part of the 19th century the property has been refurbished with considerable sympathy to its architectural heritage whilst catering for the demands and rigours of modern life.

Insulated and specified to a high standard 'Woodstone cottage' is situated within the catchments of Rhu's reputable primary school, Hermitage Academy and is located less than 2 miles from the Lomond co-educational school.
The property features a re-slated roof, sash and case (double glazed) windows, travertine wall & floor tiling, quality integrated kitchen, low voltage down-lighting, gas fired central heating, designer sanitary ware, 'period' fireplaces, 25' integrated kitchen on open plan to family room, and completely private walled / ornamental garden.

The accommodation (over two levels) extends to: reception hall, charming lounge, sitting room, formal dining room, study with utility area, superb open plan kitchen / family room, master bedroom with luxury en-suite bathroom (as well as a 'walk-in-robe') and a cloakroom/wc completes the ground floor. The upper floor provides four dormer windowed bedrooms (one with en-suite dressing room), quality family bathroom and extraordinary 60' floored and lined attic area with French doors (Paris balcony), down-lighting and double glazed windows - offering scope for further development into bedroom accommodation / recreational space or a dedicated studio/home office (subject to building control approval).

The south - facing courtyard leads to garaging for four cars, workshop and log store, integrated storage cupboards and an imaginatively developed 'secret' garden.

The mature, tree-lined gardens extend just near to 1/2 acre and offer a child-friendly environment. The grounds provide off-street parking for several cars. The level rear garden, in particular, has been laid out for ease of maintenance.

The desirable village of Rhu lies on the western fringes of Helensburgh and is renowned for its considerable sense of community. The village offers a local parish church, post office, inn, Rosslea and Ardencaple hotels, park , playing field and is home to the Royal Northern & Clyde yacht club.
