This is a truly luxurious property which would make a magnificent family home and the self contained flat provides the option for a tremendous ‘granny flat’.

The village boasts a few small independent shops and a recently restored pier at which the world famous paddle steamer ‘ PS Waverley’ berths. A regular bus service ensures that the neighbouring villages of Strone, Kilmun and Ardentinny, as well as Dunoon, are easily accessible. The immediate area is perfect for hill walking, is surrounded by natural beauty and is well served with a post office / mini market, hotels, pub, golf, bowling and sailing clubs, medical centre, churches and a fantastic primary school.
