About this property
A secluded property with exceptional, elevated sea loch views.
Ideal as either a permanent residence or a holiday home.
Recently refurbished property to a high standard.
Extensive ground over around 6.4 acres of woodland, shrubs and terraced lawns.
Sealladh Mor, meaning ‘expansive view, ’ built in 1976 is a distinctive and secluded coastal home, combining traditional stone construction with a light, contemporary interior. The property is of special architectural interest as a modern iteration of a traditional ‘blackhouse.’ Ideal as either a permanent residence or a tranquil holiday home,
The house occupies an elevated setting above the sea loch of Loch Fyne and is designed to make the most of its position, with extensive glazing, framing ever-changing views, and vaulted detailing creating a strong sense of light and space.
The principal living area is a striking double-height space, with a full-height gable window framing the outlook and a wood-burning stove with rough stone surround with timber mantel set on a stone hearth forming a focal point. Sliding doors open directly to the outside paving and lawn, creating a natural extension of the living space. The well-proportioned kitchen opens into a dining area, both benefitting from large windows and a strong connection to the landscape and its stunning view. Two double bedrooms are located on the ground floor and are served by a contemporary family bathroom renovated by the current owners with Hansgrohe fittings and ceramic tiling.
On the first floor, a mezzanine landing with views of the Isle of Bute provides an informal study or reading area overlooking the main living space. The principal bedroom features exposed timber a-frames, roof windows with views over Loch Fyne and built-in storage, along with a modern, vaulted en-suite shower room and an adjacent walk-through dressing room also recently installed by the current owners.
Outside
The property is set within a private, elevated plot approached via a charming private road. In addition to the main house, there are approximately 6.4 acres comprising terraced lawns and woodland with gardens that feature rhododendrons and azalea that naturally blend into the surrounding landscape, with areas for outdoor seating and informal entertaining.
The property and its rear garden offer views over the expansive sea loch to the Cowal peninsula and Isle of Bute. The property benefits from its dramatic scenery, a dry stone wall, rock formations and rich wildlife, with sightings of seals and dolphins offshore, owls, white tailed eagles and red squirrels, pine martins and deer around the house.
A detached, stone-clad double garage provides parking and storage, with a generous driveway offering additional parking space.
