3 bedroom cottage for sale

Dating back to 1835, Linnburn Lodge is a beautiful, traditional detached property which was formerly the lodge house to Linnburn House. Over the past twelve years or so, the lodge has been substantially extended and comprehensively upgraded to now offer around 1400 square feet of immaculate accommodation. Laid out in a split level design (but to all intents and purposes as a bungalow), the property has only a few steps up from one level to the other. The location is also fantastic, set well back from the main Shore Road and enjoying highly appealing views over the Gareloch across to the Rosneath Peninsula. Sheltered and thoughtfully landscaped gardens feature on three sides of the house and are laid out with ease of maintenance in mind. There is artificial grassed areas to one side, enclosed and private patio and courtyard areas to the rear and with a bespoke detached garage behind. The garage (16ft 7in x 13ft 8in) features a large loft with standing space (17ft 4in x 6ft 7in - widening to 14ft 5in) - with hayloft door, adjoining carport/woodstore, electrically operated front roller door, courtesy door to the side and with power and light installed. The accommodation consists of a reception hall (built-in cupboard) which opens into a stunning lounge that is bathed in natural light from numerous windows to the front, side and rear. The room features solid wood flooring, views over the water and a contemporary wood burning stove. A hallway from the lounge leads through to the family/dining room which is adjacent to a modern, well fitted and fully equipped kitchen. The family/dining room has a high vaulted ceiling and French doors open out to the gardens, with a further door from the kitchen opening to the patio. At the far end of the house there is a large master bedroom with extensive built-in wardrobes and French doors to the outside. The bedroom also boasts an adjoining dressing room and a luxurious en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms off the main hallway and a large fully tiled family bathroom with bath, wc and wash basin.
With its semi-rural setting, in the charming and popular village of Shandon, the property is only a short distance from the centre of Helensburgh where a wide selection of amenities can be found. These include a range of shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cafes and good transport links (including train stations with services to Glasgow, Edinburgh, the north and London). The area is synonymous with outdoor living, with a number of sports clubs and fantastic sailing on the River Clyde and the Gareloch. The Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club and Rhu Marina are only a short distance away and Loch Lomond is within a short drive, providing some of Scotland's most beautiful and iconic scenery, along with the prestigious Cameron House Hotel and Loch Lomond Golf Club. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance and can be reached in around fifty minutes with Glasgow International Airport accessible via the Erskine Bridge. EPC - Band D.
