Property description
Miller Stewart are proud to offer to the market this well presented, three bedroom detached bungalow with stunning sea views in a quiet cul-de-sac in the much sought after location of Toward, just 7 miles from Dunoon on the Cowal peninsula. The property was built in 1996 and comprises 3 bedrooms (one en-suite), a living room with uninterrupted sea views, modern kitchen, dining room, bathroom and utility room. The house has a built in garage and a garden that faces directly out to the picturesque Clyde estuary. Due to its thoughtful design this property would equally suit families or people looking to retire or downsize from larger properties. Being located just a twelve minute drive from Dunoon ferry terminal means the house is less than an hour and a half from Glasgow city centre making it ideal for either those working in Dunoon or those commuting to Glasgow.
Surroundings
South of Dunoon, the main road down the shore of the Firth of Clyde passes through Innellan before turning west just north of Toward Point, which forms the southernmost point of this side of the Cowal peninsula.
Toward is just 3 miles south of Innellan village which offers a variety of local amenities including Newsagents and Sub Post Office, Village Hall and Church. Dunoon Town Centre is approximately 7 miles.
The road along the south shore of this part of the Cowal Peninsula enjoys spectacular views over the Firth of Clyde to Ayrshire, Cumbrae and the Isle of Bute. Further interest is added by the steady stream of vessels passing through these busy waters, with a particularly good view afforded of the ferries between Wemyss Bay and Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. The shore itself is stony, but it does offer attractive bays well worth exploring.
Dunoon now enjoys the status of being the marine gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Scotland's first National Park, and has a number of local amenities including a cinema, two supermarkets, several choice restaurants and bars, primary and secondary schools, library, Post Office, doctor's surgeries and veterinary clinic, leisure centre with swimming pool and gym.
Transport
A regular local bus service operates in the area and there are bus and coach services to popular regions across the West of Scotland. Regular passenger ferry services operate from Dunoon Pier to Gourock with regular bus and train connections to Glasgow Central railway station. The train stops at Paisley Gilmour Street on route, which is convenient for access to Glasgow Airport. Western Ferries located at Hunter's Quay also offers a regular vehicle service to McInroy's Point in Gourock for access to the national road network.
The property
Heading along the shore road from Dunoon and through Innellan, Hazel Gardens can be found on your right directly after passing the signpost for the quiet village of Toward. Number 1 Hazel Gardens is on your left as you drive into the small cul-de-sac of just 6 properties.
A few steps lead up from the drive/parking area to an undercover tiled area where the property can be entered via a pretty wooden door.
Hallway
From the outside door you enter into the hallway of this deceptively spacious bungalow. The hall is carpeted and has two useful storage cupboards. There are doors from here to the 3 bedrooms, the dining room, the kitchen and the family bathroom.
Bedroom 1 (master bedroom) â 4.02m x 3.50m approx.
Bedroom one is a good sized double bedroom with stunning views out towards the sea, the room is carpeted and has a built in double wardrobe. Bedroom one has its own en-suite shower room.

Family bathroom â 3.47m x 1.60m approx.
The family bathroom has a toilet, a bath with over bath shower and a wash hand basin sitting in a built in vanity unit. There is modern wet wall paneling around the bath and richly coloured burgundy tiles covering the vanity unit from floor to mid wall. The upper part of the walls are decorated with delightful pebble effect wallpaper.
Bedroom 3 â 3.60m x 2.98m approx.
Bedroom 3 is a double size bedroom which is currently being used as a study/office area. The room is carpeted and has the special feature of French doors which lead out to raised decking in the sea facing garden. This provides both lots of light and enviable views.
Lounge â 5.50m x 4.43m approx.
The carpeted living room is a beautiful room with dual aspect windows. One window faces out to the side of the property and the other is a large sea facing window that offers uninterrupted views of the Clyde estuary.

The utility room has space for a fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Built in cupboards offer ample space for storing all the household essentials. There are worktops and a sink with drying rack. A door from here leads out to the side of the property meaning it is ideally located for cleaning off after working in the garden or after walking on the beach or in the countryside that is in abundance in Toward. The door also handily leads directly to the paved outdoor area which currently houses a rotatory clothes dryer.
Dining room â 3.76m x 2.96m approx.
This property benefits form a separate dining room which provides the flexibility to have a 4th bedroom. The room is carpeted and has a window to the side of the property with sea views.
Garage
The garage is built in and accessed via an outside door or via the garage door. It is a good size with room for a car as well as some storage or work space.
Outside space
There is a paved and gravel drive adjacent to the main door which provides outside parking for 2-3 cars. To the side of the property there is a patio area offering the option of alfresco dining on a warm summer's day. Along the sea side of the property there is grass lawn surrounded by shrubs and bushes. In this area sits the raised, fenced decking area that leads out from the third bedroom (currently an office). There are steps up to the decked area from the garden. To the other side of the house there is further paving with an area for clothes drying. This easy to maintain, beautiful garden has breathtaking sea views.
This is a rare bungalow to come to the market with its idyllic location, thoughtful design, walk in condition and spectacular views - early viewing is recommended.
