Located in a beautiful loch side location with nothing but stunning scenery and nature in all directions there really aren't many other places you would wish to be... Originally constructed in the eighteen hundreds as the original boathouse and jetty for the Ardbrecknish Estate, this formed an integral part of a by-gone era where private launches and ferries were the main mode of transport on Scotland’s longest freshwater loch. Now private boats and fishermen navigate the loch, which is of outstanding natural beauty and where the north end is designated an Area of Panoramic Quality (APQ).
An attractive tree lined road leads gently from the public road through the hamlet of Ardbrecknish and at the end of the private farm track with right of way, Green Cottage beckons you inside.
Entry can be gained to the cottage via several different points, either from the rear boot/utility room, from the stunning conservatory, the integral boat house or for everyday purposes via the gable end of the cottage. From this central hallway a very practical layout welcomes you. To the rear there is a spacious kitchen which has an excellent range of built in storage cupboards and enjoys a sunny outlook over the kitchen gardens which rise behind the property. The kitchen in turn leads through to a utility room which also works very well as a boot room, providing an excellent space to shed all your outdoor paraphernalia after a day exploring the countryside or sailing on the loch. This useful space in turn leads through to a ground floor toilet with shower room.
Opposite the kitchen an attractive dining room with feature fireplace and wood burning stove welcomes you and then in turn leads through to the comfortable sitting room which has ample space for freestanding furniture. These two rooms provide access to the outstanding conservatory which spans the entire length of the Cottage, and not only adds a superb addition in living space but also offers a fabulous area to relax with friends and family and enjoy utterly breath-taking views out over the loch and the surrounding countryside. At the end of the spacious central hallway is the family bathroom and a doorway leads through to the integral boathouse which has a large open room above that benefits from a washroom and an adjacent walk-in storeroom and offers yet more beautiful views. Behind the boathouse there is also a large games room with minstrel gallery which could be used for a wide variety of purposes.
Stairs rise gently to the first floor landing where there are three double bedrooms, two from an extended landing, and whilst within the coomb roof space of the cottage they offer plenty of space, character and once again beautiful views.
Externally this lovely home just keeps on giving. Adjacent to the entrance doorway there is a lean-to greenhouse and opposite the circular vehicle turning and parking area there is a substantial timber woodshed. Beyond the integral boathouse there is a small outhouse and large second boathouse/shed of good proportions, that has storage in the upper section for sail masts and other items.
The well stocked gardens offer a wide variety of native trees and shrubs providing year round colour and interest and a plentiful supply of wood suitable for woodburning stoves and open fire. The sheltered shallow bay which the property overlooks is an ideal place for swimming and sports. On the other side of it is the sizeable Rubha Buidhe island area (Gaelic for yellow peninsula, acknowledging its sunset effects).
All in all this truly amazing home offers everything you could wish for in terms of space and privacy. It has huge potential to further develop and expand on if so wished and it is only through viewing can it be fully appreciated.
The owners have intimated that a useful amount and range of contents both inside and out are to be included in the sale, to enable continuity of operating and maintaining the property, which further enhances the appeal of moving in and enjoy living from day one. CALL NOW TO ARRANGE YOUR VIEWING.
