Property description
The Ferryhouse is a beautiful detached house on the banks of the Holy Loch in the lovely south-facing village of Kilmun. Tastefully decorated throughout the property consists of 4 double bedrooms, large sitting room, TV room, dining room, breakfasting kitchen, utility room, bathroom, shower room, en-suite and downstairs cloakroom. The upper hallway is of a size that it would make a perfect study, reading or chill-out area. Benefitting by double glazing and LPG heating (with a buried tank), alarm as well as large front and back gardens with driveway for several cars. A truly lovely home in an idyllic location.
The picturesque village of Kilmun 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 seven 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 just 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.

Gardens and Driveway
From the shore road the driveway splits the front garden before sweeping round the side of the house and to the rear via a double gate. The front gardens are mainly lawn with bushes, shrubs and plants adding colour. A stone wall fronts the garden, only broken by the ornamental pillars and the entrance to the driveway.
The back has a parking / turning area for several cars below the tiered garden, which has lawned areas, a patio, drying green and is divided by the pathway that leads to the stone wall at the back. Made up mainly of lawn but also has a plethora of trees, shrubs, plants and bushes. A wooden shed, with power, sits towards the back of the garden.
The gardens have something for everyone – from the keen gardener, to the kids who would make full use of the tree-house and the ample space for trampolines etc, to those who just want to sit and take in the beautiful surroundings.
