Property description
Burnside, in the highly sought-after coastal village of Kilmun, is a stunning detached property which has recently been totally refurbished to an exceptionally high standard. Immaculate, and oozing class throughout, the house is set in large, south facing, private grounds overlooking the Holy Loch and surrounding hills and countryside and benefits by having four double bedrooms (one of which has en-suite), lounge, dining room, modern kitchen diner with high-spec integrated appliances, utility room, family bathroom, cloakroom and study area. Externally, Burnside has well maintained gardens, a two-storey double garage / workshop, driveway for several vehicles and patio areas for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Viewing is highly recommended.
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 six 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.
Other places of interest and / or leisure include the arboretum with its many species of trees and wildlife and several recognised walks of varying degree of ease and the Argyll Mausoleum set in the grounds of Kilmun Church.
The popular, and ever expanding, Holy Loch Marina is just a few minutes’ drive away at the other side of the loch although many boat-owners also have a mooring in the loch for using during the summer months.
A regular bus service to Dunoon makes 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.
