Location

Rock Cottage sits within the small hamlet of Kenmore, approximately 3 miles from Inveraray, on the banks of Loch Fyne. The forest above Kenmore boasts miles of tracks, ideal for mountain biking, while the rocks at Kenmore point afford the opportunity to catch lobsters, pick from an abundance of fresh mussels or stand and watch the porpoises, gannets, seals and otters that frequent the area. Inveraray is a classic 18th century planned town that was built on the site of an early fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. Known as "The Gateway to the Highlands and Islands", Inveraray offers access to national parks, mountains, glorious gardens and beautiful islands. There are a number of specialist shops, cafés and restaurants which sell mainly locally sourced produce – perhaps the most popular being The George Hotel which offers a fantastic selection of food and drink while also hosting live entertainment at the weekend. There is a good sized Co-op store in Inveraray.

Description

Rock Cottage is a charming, modern end-terrace property nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Kenmore. The property is one of only six properties, set around communal gardens and with fantastic views of the loch and surrounding countryside. The idyllic setting is accessed via a two-mile forestry track from the main road between Inveraray and Lochgilphead, making it an ideal main family home or a perfect holiday retreat.

The house spans two floors, providing magnificent views of Loch Fyne from the upper-level accommodation and decked terrace. The ground floor features a timber stable door entrance leading into a small passageway that connects to the back of the house. Here, a covered patio area provides access to a spacious reception hall. The principal bedroom on this floor boasts an abundance of storage space and ensuite bathroom with separate shower and bath. A second bedroom is currently used as a studio, with shower WC completing the ground floor accommodation.

The bright upper floor is designed to take full advantage of the lovely loch views. A small first-floor landing leads to a generously sized third bedroom. The well-appointed kitchen opens into a stunning lounge, featuring an exposed oak trussed cathedral-style ceiling and large picture windows. This space flows into a fully glazed, spacious, and bright sun lounge/conservatory with breathtaking water views, leading out to a sizeable timber decked terrace. Just a few yards away, the shoreline offers idyllic views across Loch Fyne.
Sold with the house is a shallow-water boat mooring with the current owner's boat available by separate negotiation. Permanent yacht moorings are available a mile away in Strachur Bay on the other side of the loch.
