Situated on a quiet residential street, just a short walk from the waterfront and amenities of the peaceful village of Kirn, this impressive period property is ideally situated to explore the attractions of the Firth of Clyde. Stroll to the coastal resort of Dunoon (1.5 miles) with its Victorian pier, wide promenade and welcoming restaurants serving local produce. Follow the woodland trails by cycle or foot through Corlarach Forest (2 mies) for fabulous views and a glimpse of red deer, grouse and birds of prey. Explore the magical gorge at Puck’s Glen (6 mies) reputed to be home to mischievous sprites. Cross wooden bridges to discover tumbling waterfalls, ancient trees and varied wildlife. Take to the seas with a boat trip from Dunoon to Carrick Castle, The Gantocks or to get close to the wreck of the MV Captayannis.
Set back from the road and surrounded by a well-maintained lawned garden, your Victorian holiday home offers elegant accommodation for extended families or groups of friends. Pull onto the gravel driveway through the stone entrance and step through the front door to your coastal retreat where high ceilings, parquet flooring and wood panelling create a traditional country house atmosphere. The grand entrance hall has plenty of space to greet your guests and to leave coats and shoes.
