The open plan living-dining area is a hub for socialising with friends and family, complemented by a cozy fireplace with wood burning stove. Two original stone walls and ceiling joists have been exposed to create a rustic atmosphere and adds a touch of charm. This room leads to all accommodation, kitchen to the rear leads to inner hall giving access to bathroom and rear porch giving access to garden and storage room.

The spacious master bedroom looks over the front garden, offering plenty of space for free-standing furniture. The second double bedroom to rear and third bedroom to the front of property.

Outside the front garden has pathway to front door with mature shrubbery and lawn. The back garden offers a level grass lawn and patio areas, providing an ideal setting for enjoying the beautiful weather. A stone-built storage area at the rear of the garden is the perfect solution for storing outdoor equipment.

The friendly village of Gartocharn stretches down to the loch by way of a horseshoe road, from either end of the village, that gives easy access to the loch shore, bird sanctuary and walking paths. Just up the hill from the cottage (on foot) is Duncryne Hill (known locally as The Dumpling), from the top of which is the most wonderful view up the loch.

Don't miss the opportunity to make this house your home in the heart of the stunning Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
