Within the much admired village of Shandon, on the shore of the Gare Loch, No.2 The Gables is a main door first floor conversion that takes in beautiful views across the water over to the Rosneath Peninsula. Forming part of a beautiful stone built Victorian mansion house that dates back to the mid 1800s, the building is category B listed, being of historic and architectural interest. Throughout the property, there are a host of magnificent period features that include a striking stained glass window on the half landing, intricate cornice work and ceiling mouldings in the drawing room and some of the most impressive marble fireplaces to be found anywhere. Commanding an elevated position, well above the loch, a sweeping gravelled driveway leads from the road up to a sizeable gravelled parking area for residents to the side of the house. Next to the parking area is large timber shed that has power and light installed and is used as a workshop, and to the front of the building there is a small private lawned and bordered garden area. The private entrance to the property is via the original main door of the house at the side, which has a covered stone portico and opens into a large entrance hall with marble fireplace and deep built-in store cupboard. A grand staircase leads to a half landing that is dominated by the beautiful arched stained glass window and would make for a lovely dining area. 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. A large marble fireplace is the focal point of the room and there is an additional side window for even more natural light. Adjacent to the drawing room is a well proportioned dining sized kitchen, there is a large dining room (again with a feature fire surround) and this room could be used as a third bedroom. The master bedroom also takes in west facing views of the loch and has a Jack’n’Jill ensuite shower room. The second bedroom enjoys wooded views to the side of the building. Finally, the main bathroom has a three piece suite with shower over the bath. There is gas fired central heating and a combination of single and double glazed sash and case windows throughout.
