Full Details for 4 Bedroom Bungalow for sale in Helensburgh, G84 :
An immensely characterful detached cottage set within exceptional landscaped gardens. 29' lounge, dining room, 4 bedrooms, breakfasting kitchen, utility room, ensuite shower room & bathroom. Oil c/h. River views. EER Band - G
Portkil Cottage is privately set within around 3/4 of an acre garden grounds and forms part of the picturesque hamlet of Portkil, which lies around one mile to the east of the coastal village of Kilcreggan.
Afforded considerable seclusion by the extensive tree-lined grounds, the property backs directly onto open countryside and offers stunning, southerly views over the Clyde Estuary. Of classic period architecture, this highly deceptive cottage provides commodious accommodation on one level (which is accentuated by its high ceilings) and is distinguished by the retention of its many defining features including plaster cueing cornice plasterwork, period fireplaces, sandstone detailing and stone chimney heads.
The highly versatile layout is complemented by oil fired central heating system and comprises entrance porch, 29' lounge with two opposing (and functional) fireplaces, formal dining room with lovely river views, 18' x 14' master bedroom, guest bedroom with en-suite shower room, further double bedroom, single bedroom/home office, study hallway, impressive breakfasting kitchen, utility room leading to a side porch and large family bathroom with original fireplace and shower enclosure. The wonderful gardens are bordered to the south by designated green-belt. Several years ago the owners were granted permission to build a detached home which would have been sited to the south west, on the lower area of the grounds - minimising any impact on the amenity of this immediately appealing home. Potential buyers could make an application to the local authority to re-instate the planning approval. Portkil is a small, picturesqe hamlet located on the fringes of the coastal village of Kilcreggan which provides a reputable primary school, health centre, working pier (with regular passenger ferry services to Gourock - onward train services to Glasgow), local inn, post office/general store, butchers shop, coffee shop, church, community hall and wonderful country side offering nature trails and challenging hill walks. The general locality offers Cove sailing club, nature reserve and caters for further out-door pursuits.
The neighbouring village of Rosneath provides two boat yards with slip-ways to the Garloch and Rhu marina is around 13 miles away.
