Faith Cottage Is A Unique 4 Bedroom Timber Bungalow With Wonderful Views

Faith Cottage is a unique four bedroom timber bungalow set in an elevated position with wonderful open views over Loch Long and the Clyde Estuary. One of a charming trio of timber cottages - Faith, Hope and Charity - enjoying a peaceful, tucked away setting that feels both scenic and secluded.

The cottage has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owner, including the installation of new windows designed to maximise the marvellous views. It has also been extended from its original layout, now offering four bedrooms, a lounge, a separate living room, a kitchen with dining area, a family bathroom, a shower room, and a conservatory that enjoys fantastic open views across Loch Long and the Clyde Estuary, with spectacular hills and mountains forming the backdrop.

Heating is provided by a newly installed air source heat pump, complemented by solar panels and a new wood burning stove, creating an efficient and cosy environment throughout the year. The accommodation is flexible and can be adapted to suit a variety of lifestyles, whether for full time living, holiday use or multi generational arrangements.

The property offers excellent flexibility with four bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a hobby room and home office. A standout feature is the sitting room, a beautifully proportioned space with wonderful sea views stretching over open fields and towards the hills beyond. This spacious room also benefits from a newly installed wood burning stove, providing additional warmth during the colder months.

Off the sitting room is a dedicated study, an ideal and peaceful spot for working or reading without interruption.

The lounge makes a superb family room and flows seamlessly into the renovated dining kitchen. Together, these rooms create a warm, sociable environment where meals can be prepared while still enjoying time with family and friends. The kitchen benefits from a new electric cooker with extractor above, and a doorway leads out to a small porch. A traditional ceiling mounted clothes drying pulley adds further practicality to the space.

The property offers two bathrooms. The main bathroom comprises a bath with shower above, a traditional wash hand basin and a toilet. The second shower room is positioned conveniently close to the main bedrooms and is finished in a stylish modern design, featuring green and black highlight tiling, a shower cubicle, traditional wash hand basin and toilet.

The immediate garden surrounds the property, with the main section lying to the front. Here you’ll find a mix of mature small trees and shrubs, with the ground tiered down towards the lane below, adding interest and character to the outdoor space. This elevated position provides stunning views across Loch Long and towards the Clyde Estuary in the distance. The garden also benefits from a greenhouse, ideal for those looking to grow their own produce.

Faith Cottage is located approximately eight miles from the Western Ferries terminal at Dunoon, following the route past the Holy Loch towards Ardentinny. It sits around a quarter of a mile before Gairletter Caravan Park, accessed via a private driveway that rises up the hillside to three similar timber properties. Faith Cottage is the first of the three, occupying an elevated position above the lane.

Originally known collectively as The Three Graces, the cottages later became known as Faith, Hope and Charity. Built over 100 years ago to house Cornish tin miners brought to the area to work a local tin mine, they have been extended and adapted over the decades while still retaining the charm and character of the original structures.
Faith Cottage sits within a generous plot of approximately half an acre, with the majority of the land lying on the opposite side of the track on the hillside. The property also benefits from twin garages positioned off the track leading up to the cottage, providing excellent storage and parking.

This much sought after location sits on the shores of Loch Long within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, with the nearby village of Blairmore offering a vibrant community atmosphere. Blairmore provides a 1st class coffee shop, a restored pier which is a summer stopping off point for the famous Paddle Steamer Waverley, and a regular bus service to Dunoon, which lies approximately ten miles away
The area is well known for its sailing facilities, with the Holy Loch Sailing Club and Holy Loch Marina situated at Sandbank. It is also ideally placed for hill walking, fishing and exploring the stunning Argyll countryside.
Dunoon is a small coastal town set within the beautiful Cowal Peninsula of Argyll, yet remains just over an hour’s commuting distance to the centre of Glasgow, with Glasgow Airport also around an hour away. Argyll Ferries operate a passenger service to Gourock, connecting with trains to Glasgow Central, while Western Ferries provide a more frequent car and passenger service from nearby Hunter’s Quay to McInroy’s Point.
The town offers a modern leisure centre, two supermarkets, a variety of independent shops, restaurants and a cinema, making it a well served and convenient base while still enjoying the charm of a coastal, rural setting.
