Detached house for sale in Laighfield, Shandon, Argyll And Bute G84

Located close to the shore of the Gareloch, Laighfield is a unique modern detached family residence that affords lovely views across the water to the Rosneath Peninsula. The house enjoys a great deal of privacy from its neighbours, along with attractive enclosed gardens and a convenient location within easy reach of the town of Helensburgh. The house is built to a split level design and throughout the interior a great deal of time, money and effort has been spent on upgrading and modernising the property which is now in immaculate condition, finished to an exceptional specification and with a very contemporary feel throughout. Perfect for family life, the house enjoys bright, spacious and airy accommodation with newly fitted carpeting, complete redecoration, a modern bespoke refitted kitchen, utility room and refitted bathroom and ensuite shower room.

To access the property, a private lane leads up from Gareloch Road, with a mono-block paved driveway then leading to a sizeable car parking area in front of the house. This can accommodate several cars and gives access to a substantial brick built garage adjacent to the house. A few steps lead down to the front door and a path runs around either side of the house where the lower gardens are laid in lawn and with a variety of mature plants, shrubs, bushes and trees featuring to one side and above the garage. The gardens are compact and easily maintained and feature a drying area along with a small greenhouse and storage sheds. The views from the property are fantastic, with a large, full length slabbed patio/terrace taking full advantage of them and being accessed from the kitchen and conservatory/sun room. Magnificent sunsets can be had from here and it is completely enclosed and safe for children.

On entering the house, the main reception hall gives access to the fourth bedroom which is currently used as a home office and on the other side of the hall there is a useful walk-in cloakroom area which has a beautifully refitted wc compartment off with new wc and wash hand basin fitted. Moving to the lower accommodation, a few steps lead down to a hallway which in turn gives access to the impressive bay windowed lounge/dining room that enjoys views over the water. The focal point of this room is a large timber fire surround with wood burning stove that provides a huge amount of heat. Off the lounge/dining room there is access to a comfortable conservatory/sun room which features a timber lined ceiling and full height windows to the side and front of the property with access out on to the terrace. The kitchen can also be accessed from the main lounge/dining room and is a spectacular, bright open plan living/family dining kitchen with space for dining table and chairs, patio doors leading out on to the terrace and with a further window taking in the water views. The kitchen is contemporary in its style, features a large island unit and a range of modern appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a very large utility room with direct access from here out to the side of the house.

Moving on to the upstairs accommodation, a staircase from the reception hall ascends to an upper landing which is lit naturally by a large “Velux” window and has two sets of deep built in wardrobes along the length of one wall. The hall gives access to the master bedroom which is a large bay windowed room again with some of the best views in the house over the loch, and off the bedroom is a walk in wardrobe/dressing area and a beautifully appointed contemporary, refitted ensuite that features two vanity wash hand basins, a large walk-in shower and wc. There are two further double bedrooms on this level, both of which enjoy the views and the main family bathroom is a large 14ft x 8ft refitted space that features a bath, separate walk in shower, wash hand basin and wc. The house is fully double glazed and warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.

Laighfield enjoys a very private setting in the heart of the picturesque village of Shandon and just a short drive from the nearby navel base at Faslane and in the other direction, the larger town of Helensburgh.
