Set amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of Scotland’s west coast, 'Dunsheen Ground' presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional lower conversion within a substantial and imposing sandstone detached villa.
Occupying a peaceful and elevated position and commanding panoramic views across the Firth of Clyde from its beautifully maintained private front gardens and sun terrace, there are uninterrupted vistas which extend over to Shandon, Rhu, Helensburgh and, on a clear day, the majestic outline of Ardmore Point and beyond.
Maintained to an exacting and meticulous standard by the current owners with rewiring carried out, new oil tank fitted, landscaping within the now immaculate gardens, recently installed log burner in the lounge, overhauling where required to the windows by CR Smith and regular maintenance to the roof.
Again, the property effortlessly combines timeless character and traditional elegance with occasional contemporary styling and comfort. Rich in charm and grace, many original features have been carefully retained, enhancing the sense of history and individuality throughout the home, whilst tasteful modern upgrades ensure the property is perfectly suited for modern family living.
The accommodation is both generously proportioned and highly versatile in layout. A welcoming entrance porch featuring attractive terrazzo flooring opens into an impressive reception hallway, immediately setting the tone for the quality and style found throughout the ground floor, level layout. The beautifully presented main lounge has attractive sanded flooring and a focal point fireplace with log burning stove. This room enjoys an abundance of natural light and provides a superb entertaining and relaxation space, whilst a separate formal dining room offers the ideal setting for family gatherings and social occasions alike or, of course, could be utilised as a fourth bedroom, if or when required. The fabulous traditionally styled yet bespoke dining kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of custom built floor and wall mounted solid wood cabinetry, providing excellent storage accommodation, complemented by engineered oak flooring, an induction hob, oven, washing machine and ample workspace. From here, access is gained to the rear hallway and then out through an upgraded split / barn style door leading out to the rear.
The property further offers three well-proportioned and beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom, with the flexible accommodation allowing one of the apartments to be utilised as a home office, family room or guest accommodation if required. Completing the interior is a stunning period-inspired yet contemporary bathroom presented in immaculate order, combining classic styling with modern luxury including a corner bath and separate shower stall.
Further features include oil-fired central heating fuelled fro the upgraded tank, double glazing enhancing soundproofing and insulation, all contributing towards comfort and efficiency throughout the seasons. Externally, the home is equally impressive. The front sun terrace is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the magnificent loch views, whilst the expansive gardens — which truly must be viewed to be fully appreciated — are, having been re-turfed, mainly laid to lawn with gentle slopes, enclosed and fringed by mature hedging and timber fencing, creating privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion.
A sweeping driveway rises from the main road before branching onto a private drive, leading up to a level parking area conveniently situated adjacent to the property’s entrance, providing both practicality and an impressive approach to the home. A double garage is also provided on the opposing side with further external parking to the front.
The surrounding area offers an enviable lifestyle for those seeking tranquillity without sacrificing convenience. Nearby Helensburgh town centre provides a wide and varied selection of amenities including boutique shops, supermarkets, cafés, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with highly regarded schooling options. Excellent public transport links, including rail services and road networks, offer ease of commuting to Glasgow city centre and destinations further afield. A regular ferry service over the Clyde to Gourock provides onward links to international airports and City Centres at nearby Kilcreggan. Argyll and Bute itself is renowned for some of Scotland’s most spectacular driving routes, with dramatic coastal scenery, rolling countryside and picturesque villages all within easy reach, making this an outstanding location for outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of Scotland’s natural beauty.
