Property Description
Kings Hut
King’s Hut is a charming detached Victorian Villa which has undergone an extensive upgrade and modernisation programme in very recent months and has been transformed into an exceptional family home with the perfect balance of new and period features throughout. The original cornicing, high ceilings, doors and staircase have been lovingly retained whilst the new additions such as modern kitchen, log burning stoves and beautiful décor have undoubtedly added to the luxurious appeal.
On entry the elegance and charm are immediately evident from the welcoming hallway which leads to the sitting room boasting original wooden flooring, an aesthetically pleasing and practical log burning stove and bay windows to the front offering a gorgeous view of the Firth of Clyde and beyond. On the other side of the hall the majestic drawing room is semi-open plan with the formal dining room which, in turn, opens to the sun room overlooking the back garden. The extremely generous dining kitchen is very well appointed with fitted units, oak worktops and plenty of natural light through the windows, Velux windows and door to the back garden.
A beautiful period staircase ascends to the half landing where the deluxe family bathroom, with art-deco royal blue tiles, floor tiles and original cast iron roll top bath, is located before winding to the upper hall where the five bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, are situated. All of the bedrooms have gorgeous views of either the Clyde to the front or the garden and countryside to the rear.

Chalet
The chalet is an excellent addition to this, already magnificent, property. Very versatile and, as such, could be used as a ‘granny flat’, teenagers pad, guest accommodation or home office. Generous in size, and fully self-contained, the chalet comprises a large open-plan living / dining / kitchen area, double bedroom with fixed ladder to a mezzanine level, and a contemporary shower room. A log burning stove ensures its always warm and cosy.

Gardens and Parking
King’s Hut boasts fabulous front and back gardens with the back, especially, ideal for the whole family to enjoy. The front garden has a sweeping driveway with parking for several cars and tiered lawned areas with sprinkled rockery adding character. The extensive back garden is on a gentle gradient and is laid mainly to lawn and provides that gorgeous vista of the Firth of Clyde and beyond. The garden is of such a size that it easily accommodates the chalet, a summer house with decking and a large greenhouse as well as ample space for children’s outdoor play equipment and for entertaining family friends whilst enjoying a BBQ.
