'Torridon Cottage' forms part of the picturesque and highly desirable hamlet of Clynder and commands delightful views over the Gareloch.
This immensely characterful, stone built, detached cottage is quietly situated on Back Road, which runs parallel to the shore road and is characterised by the diversity of detached homes along its length.
Set in a third of an acre of hillside garden, and backing directly onto designated greenbelt, the property has been transformed by a sympathetic modernisation programme and provides traditionally styled and proportioned accommodation on one level. The cottage has been enhanced by the re-tiling of its roof and is complemented by double glazed windows, LPG central heating system, restored pine internal doors, feature 'period' styled fireplaces, log burning stove, floored and insulated attic and features a detached brick built work shop (with power and light supply).
Of considerable appeal to professionals, retirees and ideally suited as a holiday (and lettable) cottage, the property comprises: reception hall, bay windowed lounge with log burning stove, two double bedrooms, dining room on open plan to kitchen, utility porch and partially tiled bathroom with electric shower.
Approached by a sweeping tarmacadam driveway, the gardens feature a bespoke balustrade to the private enclosed (and paviored) rear patio and a further paviored semi circled front terrace which takes full command of the loch view.
Clynder is renowned for its community spirit and forms part of the picturesque Rosneath peninsula. The hamlet offers a general store, popular bowling club, slipways providing dinghy access to the Gareloch and a regular bus service to the neighbouring villages of Kilcreggan (which offers a passenger ferry service to Gourock), Rosneath, Garelochhead and Helensburgh.
The historic and picturesque coastal town of Helensburgh, with its origins in the 17th century, provides an excellent quality of life together with reputable public and private schools, a broad selection of shops, restaurants, coffee shops and bars, leisure centre and swimming pool, several parks, two train stations (with regular services to Glasgow). Sports and recreational facilities are well catered for with the provision of tennis, squash, bowling, golf, sailing, cricket and rugby clubs. EER Band - D
