Bungalow for sale in Old Shore Road, St Catherines, Argyll And Bute PA25

Beautiful detached bungalow on the banks of Loch Fyne in the most gorgeous of locations inbetween the coastal villages of Strachur and St Catherines. With spacious rooms throughout, ‘Shore Lodge’ comprises a very generous front-facing sitting room with a solid fuel fire and patio doors to a terrace which commands panoramic loch views, a well-appointed dining kitchen with adjoining utility room, a formal dining room off the lounge, three bedrooms, a modern shower room and handy cloakroom. Externally, wrap-around gardens have been lovingly landscaped and maintained and a driveway for several cars leads to the double garage / workshop. Solar panels, air source heating and a private septic tank all further enhance this, already wonderful, house. Properties such as Shore Lodge are rarely available and, as such, always generate a lot of interest so early viewing is highly recommended.

Surrounded by rolling countryside and hills, and on the shores of Loch Fyne, St Catherines and Strachur are situated perfectly for commuting to Dunoon, the bustling capital of Cowal, the Royal Burgh of Inveraray, or Loch Lomond but still only little more than an hour away from Glasgow. In the immediate area there are local pubs, tea rooms, a golf course, post office, a petrol station with well stocked shop, doctors, schools and playparks. It is the perfect location from escaping from the hustle and bustle of city life, but with everything you want on your doorstep.

Accommodation
Entrance Porch, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Dining Kitchen, Utility Room, Three Bedrooms, Family Shower Room and Cloakroom

Directions
The property sits on a quiet and peaceful lane on the shores of Loch Fyne in between the coastal villages of Strachur and St Catherines. Coming from Dunoon, travel through Strachur and, once passed The Creggans Inn, drive for approximately 1.5 miles, take the first on the left to the lane and the property is about halfway along (look for the double garage with the red doors!).

Property Description
The property is accessed either through the entrance porch at the front or via the utility room at the rear. Once through the porch you enter a welcoming L-shaped hallway with warm tartan carpet, cornicing, two ceiling lights and two storage cupboards; most of the rooms in the bungalow can be reached off the hallway.
The generous sitting room is very comfortable, spacious enough for any configuration of lounge furniture and with the most breathtaking of views through the large windows and patio door which opens to a fantastic terrace. A solid fuel fire adds to the cosiness of the lounge and double doors open to a formal dining room which has a large window to the rear. The sociable dining kitchen is modern and well-appointed with many top quality integrated appliances and a lovely feature tiled floor, all of which make it the hub of the home. The adjoining utility room has space, and plumbing, for additional white goods, with the boiler also being housed in this room.
The property boasts three double bedrooms, two of which are spacious with inbuilt wardrobes whilst the third bedroom is currently being utilised as a study. A large, modern, shower room and handy cloakroom, with WC and wash-hand basin, complete the property internally.

Gardens, Garage and Driveway
Externally, the wraparound gardens are fully enclosed and have been lovingly landscaped and maintained now offering several areas to enjoy the wonderful setting, a relaxing loch-facing terrace, several outhouses and plenty of areas to while away the day, or just potter about. A plethora of trees, shrubs and plants add additional colour and character.
A driveway off the front lane has space for several vehicles to park and the double garage has room for further vehicles but would also make a superb workshop.
