For Sale5 Bedroom House in Cluniter, 12 Shore Road, Innellan, Dunoon, PA23 7TN£650,000

Stunning 5 bedroom detached house with views across the Firth of Clyde. Dating from 1851, Cluniter is one of the most handsome, striking properties along the Cowal Peninsula. The house has undergone many iterations and the entire estate as it now sits was re-established by the current owners who acquired both the top and bottom flats of Cluniter. The main residence is formed over three floors and adopts a very natural and welcoming flow. Greeted into a lovely reception area you are then guided into the magnificent living room which boasts the tall ceiling heights typical of the era, resulting in expansive windows which maximise the natural light. On display are also more ornate details such as the intricate cornicing and the warm wood finish of the windows and side wall panels. The kitchen and dining area has been created in a more modern open plan style with a central island, ample storage through the wraparound wall units with fitted units beneath, and an integrated oven and a dishwasher. As was customary in the design of properties of this age there was careful consideration given to the room positions and the stunning outlook. Accordingly on the first floor there is an outstanding drawing room which retains some fine period features as well as arguably the best views from the house. Cluniter offers very versatile accommodation, with two bedrooms on the ground floor a further two bedrooms on the first floor plus a kitchen and with the principal bedroom suite being found on the second floor. Included in this configuration there is also potential for a self contained flat with its own kitchen and bathroom, which benefits from direct access to an external staircase. All of the bedrooms are spacious and all have a spectacular view, whether that be over the Firth of Clyde or simply across the exquisite gardens and grounds that surround the property. Gardens and Grounds Whilst Cluniter is indeed eye-catching, it is arguably the grounds surrounding the property and the views from the various vantage points that truly set it apart. To the front of the house the grounds slope down towards the Firth of Clyde leaving the property in an elevated position looking over rhododendrons, pine trees and an expanse of lawn, across to the sea beyond. Along the southern boundary there is a splendid walkway that borders the Burnmakamin Burn which, due to the topography, has a dramatic drop forming a sensational waterfall and plunge pool; this creates the perfect background sound for enjoying the peaceful gardens. There is clear evidence of a trained hand in the garden with a number of mature trees and plants including multi coloured rhododendrons, azalea, and countless perennial wild plants such as snowdrops, daffodils, wild garlic and a bluebell wooded area. There area many pathways within the garden and an ornamental pond in the rear garden. View payable LBTT Calculator for this property
