5 bed detached house for sale

Garelochhead, Helensburgh, Argyll And Bute G84

Situated at the head of the main Shore Road which links Garelochhead with access around the Peninsula, this contemporary detached family villa stands on generously proportioned garden grounds - the extent of which must be viewed to be appreciated.

This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction, meaning the buyer and seller are to Settle within 56 days (the "Reservation Period"). Interested parties personal data will be shared with the Auctioneer (iamsold). If considering buying with a mortgage, inspect and consider the property carefully with your lender before bidding.

The buyer signs a Reservation Agreement and makes payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.20% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,000.00 including VAT. This is paid to reserve the property to the buyer during the Reservation Period and is paid in addition to the purchase price. This is considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Services may be recommended by the Agent or Auctioneer in which they will receive payment from the service provider if the service is taken. Payment varies but will be no more than £450.00. These services are optional.

Sadly - the property does require upgrading as in the last few years, a burst pipe in the attic space has caused damage to a few of the ceilings and, having been vacant an unoccupied since, damp damage has crept in to the property - therefore extensive but doable upgrading throughout is required. The agents do feel however, that this has been reflected in the attractive asking place.

The aforementioned garden grounds are also heavily overgrown and in need of tending although could, with some graft, can certainly be swiftly returned to their former glory along with the property itself to create a superb, well-proportioned family home with open aspects out to the front over onto The Gareloch itself.

Internally the interesting layout of accommodation consists of entrance vestibule leading into reception hallway which has a storage cupboard off and a downstairs WC off. There are two double bedrooms off this entrance hall - one of which has a dressing area and an en-suite shower room off - access is also gained to rear hallway off the hall.

Stairs lead from the hall to the upper landing which has a overhead loft access hatch and a currently damaged ceiling where sadly the water from the burst pipe perished.

There are three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a master en-suite bathroom. Two generous front facing public rooms are also found on this upper level - the main, larger room having a side door and wood burning stove fitted- both of these public rooms have access out to the enclosed sun area - which has front facing Velux windows shedding good natural light within and through - superb views are gained from here over the Loch. Further features include off-street parking, enclosed gardens with gated access, a double garage original aviary and an external garden store within the extensive side gardens.

Viewing is obviously imperative of this property to appreciate the works which are required to return the property to its former glory.

The property did benefit from gas central heating although investigative works should be carried out to recognise what works are required within to make the heating system 'healthy and active' again and, indeed the electrics are requiring tending to. Double glazed units are fitted which does improve soundproofing and insulation.

The property is conveniently situated within 20 minutes’ walk of Garelochhead itself where a selection of local shops, pubs, eateries and amenities are available. Local schooling is provided surely within walking distance or a short drive and indeed, some of the most spectacular countryside within Argyle and Bute is located within easy travelling distance via established, scenic roads and the public transport services which are also provided nearby including a sleeper rail service to London too !
