4 bed semi-detached house for sale

1 George Street, Dunoon PA23

Set in the highly desirable coastal setting of Hunters Quay and enjoying elevated views across the Firth of Clyde, this extended and spacious six-apartment semi-detached villa offers a rare opportunity to transform a traditional home on a generous plot. Requiring full renovation throughout, the property presents significant potential for buyers ready to restore and modernise, with flexible accommodation that can be configured as four bedrooms and two public rooms or three bedrooms and three public rooms, including space for a home office. Positioned within large garden grounds and benefiting from a long driveway and detached garage, this property is ideal for families seeking space and sea views or investors looking to create a standout home in a sought-after location.

This traditional villa provides a flexible layout across two levels and is currently arranged as three double bedrooms and three public rooms, although it could easily be reconfigured to offer four bedrooms and two reception rooms, depending on requirements. One of the reception spaces would serve well as a home office or study, making the property suitable for families working from home or those requiring adaptable accommodation. While the property benefits from attractive original features and a generous internal footprint, it is important to note that it now requires a full programme of modernisation. Internally, the layout begins with a vestibule and hallway, both of which retain period character including deep skirtings and decorative details. The main living room sits to the front of the home, enjoying a large window that draws in natural light and offers partial views toward the Clyde Estuary. This room, like most of the others, still offers traditional features like cornicing and skirting. A rear-facing reception room could serve as a dining room, family room or additional bedroom, and the third public room could be used as an additional bedroom, office or playroom. The kitchen is located to the rear and, while requiring renovation, provides a sensible layout with access to the side path and rear garden. Completing the accomodation downstairs is a three piece bathroom with shower over the bath. Upstairs, three double bedrooms provide good proportions, with the main bedroom enjoying another large window and elevated views. There is a bright landing with storage cupboard and a stained glass window is a real feature halfway up the staircase which contributes to the home’s retained character.

At the rear of the property lies a large garden, extending significantly beyond the back of the house. This private outdoor space is mostly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature greenery and trees that offer natural privacy and a lovely green outlook. For families, this garden is a dream—ideal for children’s play equipment, summer entertaining, or even future landscaping. The size of the land offers a real sense of freedom and could support further outbuildings or a garden annexe, subject to permissions. To the front is a small walled front garden, complete with a neat path leading to the main entrance with lawns either side. A gated opening from the pavement adds privacy, while the adjacent driveway and single garage (with workshop bay) offer off-street parking and scope for storage or workshop use. The frontage is defined by traditional stonework and well-proportioned sash-style windows, giving the home a classic and timeless kerb appeal.

Located in the sought-after area of Hunters Quay, the property enjoys a peaceful position within easy reach of local transport links, making it well suited to commuting families or those seeking a weekend retreat with access to Glasgow. The Western Ferries terminal is just five minutes away, offering a regular service to McInroy’s Point at Gourock, while the Argyll Ferries passenger service links to trains for Glasgow Central. Glasgow Airport can be reached in around an hour by car or ferry and train. For families, local schools and amenities in nearby Dunoon are easily accessible by bus or car, including two supermarkets, a leisure centre, a cinema, and a variety of independent shops and cafes. Dunoon also offers a strong sense of community and access to outdoor activities including three golf courses, sailing clubs, tennis courts, and both indoor and outdoor bowling clubs. The wider Cowal Peninsula offers natural beauty, rural charm and a wealth of walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, appealing to buyers who value a balance of peaceful living with active recreation. With a large garden, garage, and significant scope for renovation, this characterful villa could become a wonderful long-term home for the right buyer
