Property description
Kylemore House is situated on the banks of Loch Long within the desirable and sought after village of Ardentinny. The property benefits from magnificent, breathtaking and uninterrupted views over loch and forest.

This classic property offers the purchaser the opportunity to live and work from home in a truly idyllic location.
Situated on the shores of Loch Long approximately 12 miles from Dunoon, picturesque Ardentinny is a quiet and peaceful village surrounded by water, countryside and rolling hills and, as such, is the perfect retreat from the stresses and strains of a busy modern life.Neighbouring villages include Blairmore, Strone and Kilmun and the area boasts a beach with picnic area, golf course, bowling club, quad-biking, several pubs, cafes and restaurants, schools, playparks and medical centre. A regular bus service makes the many amenities of Dunoon easily accessible and the ferries to Gourock, with rail and coach links, mean that Glasgow city centre is little more than an hour away, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and Greenock even closer.

Gardens
Virtually completely loch-facing, the large garden really has something for everyone regardless of whether you want to while away the time in the ‘quiet garden’, enjoy lunch in the elevated patio area, potter about in the greenhouse, work in the office/studio, pick fruit from the orchard or vegetables from the kitchen garden, or work away in the double garage / workshop. A wooden dog kennel and covered run is ideal for drying off your pet after a walk.
A sweeping driveway, accessed from the shore road, has space for several cars to park, a bothy provides extra storage.
Further, there is also a good sized lawned area with plenty of colourful shrubs, bushes and plants to tend, and enjoy all year round.

Misc.
Please note that the chandeliers in the sitting room, dining room and library are not included in the sale.
The 'View Map' option is slightly misleading as Kylemore House is at the start of the village on the shore road and not, in fact, in front of the Ardentinny Centre.
