Rhu Arden is one of Helensburgh's most distinguished and admired homes.
Privately situated within this prestigious and cherished address, Rhu Arden epitomises classic period architecture at its very best and is one of the finest precursors of the 'Arts and Crafts' movement to be found within the affluent coastal town of Helensburgh.
With its origins in the 17th century, the picturesque town of Helensburgh (the birth place of John Logie Baird - inventor of the television) is one of the most desirable towns on shores of the Clyde estuary.
The town provides a first class train service to Dumbarton, Glasgow and Edinburgh (journey time of 45 minutes to Glasgow) and is positioned on the A814 which connects Helensburgh with Dumbarton, Glasgow and Garelochhead (together with the Naval base at Faslane). Glasgow international airport is located 24 miles away.
Surrounded by some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery, the town, known as the Garden Town of the river Clyde, is renowned for its tree lined avenues and was the holiday destination of the city merchants - famed for its handsome Victorian mansions.
The town offers a wealth of amenities including: reputable state and private schools, a broad selection of shops, places of historic and cultural interest, a working pier (which is a popular drop off and pick up point for summer cruises), health -care facilities, banks, a selection of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, cafes, parish churches, leisure centre, swimming pool and local parks.
Sports and recreational pursuits are well catered for with the provision of cricket, rugby, football, tennis, squash, bowling, golf and sailing clubs. Rhu marina and the Royal Northern and Clyde yacht club are conveniently situated some 2 miles to the west of Helensburgh.
The Clyde estuary and the Lomond and Trossachs National Park are areas of outstanding natural beauty. The National Park is home to Loch Lomond golf course, the renowned De Vere Cameron House hotel and the championship standard Carrick golf course and spa.
Fishing, hill-walkers and out-door enthusiasts are spoilt with the wealth of amenities on offer within the estuary and National park which include country estates, challenging mountain ranges, nature trails, water sports facilities and out-door centres.
