Property description

Completely renovated and refurbished four bedroom villa in the most enviable of shore-side positions in the sought after village of Strone. As well as the four bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, the property has loch facing family and sitting rooms, dining room, kitchen, sunroom, family bathroom, and downstairs shower room. Further benefits include the private garden which has direct access to the shore, driveway with parking for several vehicles and a coach house which, although in need of some attention, is wind and water tight. Must be seen to be fully appreciated, Rockbank would make an ideal family or holiday home set in a truly idyllic setting.

The picturesque village of Strone is surrounded by natural beauty, sits on the banks of the Holy Loch and has outstanding views, not only of the loch and the Firth of Clyde, but also the surrounding hills and countryside. The area, which is approximately eight miles from Dunoon and on the edge of Scotland’s First National Park, is well served with a post office / mini market, hotel, pub, golf and bowling clubs, medical centre, churches and a fantastic primary school. The popular, and ever expanding, Holy Loch Marina is just a few minutes drive away at the other side of the loch.
There is also a regular bus service to Dunoon making the supermarkets, shops, hairdressers, eateries, pubs, sports and sailing clubs and cinema etc 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.
