Property description
Auchengower is a south-facing converted and extended bungalow which has outstanding loch and hill views from its elevated position on Strone Brae. With two double bedrooms (one has an en-suite shower room), sitting room, modern kitchen, conservatory, family bathroom, utility porch and a further large porch which is ideal for an office or gym. Externally, the property boasts a large garden, driveway, garage, wooden shed and decking which makes the most of the stunning vista. This is a lovely property, in a great area...with outstanding views.
The picturesque village of Strone is surrounded by natural beauty, sits on the banks of the Holy Loch and has outstanding views, not only of the loch and the Firth of Clyde, but also the surrounding hills and countryside. The area, which is approximately eight miles from Dunoon and on the edge of Scotland’s First National Park, is well served with a post office / mini market, hotel, pub, golf and bowling clubs, medical centre, churches and a fantastic primary school which has been awarded the Green Flag. The popular, and ever expanding, Holy Loch Marina is just a few minutes drive away at the other side of the loch.
There is also a regular bus service to Dunoon making the supermarkets, shops, hairdressers, eateries, pubs, sports and sailing clubs and cinema etc easily accessible. In addition, there are two ferry links to Gourock with rail and coach links meaning that Glasgow city centre is little more than an hour away, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and Greenock even closer.
