Whilst the property does require a fair degree of modernisation (as detailed in the home report), this is a fantastic opportunity to live in the beautiful conservation village of Rhu and for buyers to place their own stamp on the property. Part of the appeal is the extensive and private gardens that are sunny and south facing to the rear, with large expanses of lawn all screened by mature hedging, bushes and trees. There is a brick built outhouse store along with a further attached store at the rear of the house. A long private driveway leads down the side of the building to a single car timber garage. Rhu is a small and pretty conservation village located on the Gare Loch and it comes with a fantastic local convenience store, a highly regarded primary school (just around the corner) and a church. The nearby town of Helensburgh offers a wider selection of amenities, with great shops and supermarkets, cafes, bars and restaurants and there are good transport links from Helensburgh with train stations offering services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even to London. The property is also well placed for access to the nearby Naval Base at Faslane and surrounding Rhu, some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery can be found, with Loch Lomond close by and great sailing on the Gare Loch and the River Clyde. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance and can be reached by car in around forty minutes. EPC - Band D.

At the top of the stairs, the main landing leads to each of the main rooms. The drawing room is a simply breathtaking space, with a large bay window enjoying westerly views over the water.
