Description

Town and Country Property Auctions Scotland present to you a one of a kind split-level house situated in Garelochhead, Helensburgh. The property position is appreciative of the location with glorious panoramic views to the hills and down the Gare Loch towards the River Clyde. According to The North Clyde Estuary: An Illustrated Architectural Guide: this was self built in 1980 by architect Robert McLaren and was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's building - Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Upon entering the ground floor of the building, you are presented with a utility room with adjacent coat room, as well as a downstairs toilet and 1 double bedroom. Walking through the property you have a dining room with access to a good sized kitchen and a large living area with a large balcony. The first floor contains 3 double bedrooms, 1 bathroom and plenty of storage. The property sits in extensive mature gardens (circa 3/4 acres or thereby) that are screened by trees to the side and rear.

The building has been constructed of cedar, concrete and stone. This house has substantial interior wood cladding (Mahogany in living room over 40mm thick) and this uncompromising villa in the architect's eye resembles the bridge of a ship moored at the head of the loch. The cedar is painted with Valtti Colour Opaque high performance wood finish which is microporous allowing the wood to breathe while providing waterproof coating.

Situated at the head of the Gare Loch, the property is within easy reach of Faslane Naval Base and Coulport with the towns of Clynder, Rosneath, Kilcreggan and Cove only a short distance away along the Peninsula. Garelochhead is only a few minutes drive from Helensburgh and Loch Lomond is easily accessible within ten to fifteen minutes. Glasgow can also be reached and is within easy commuting distance via the A82 as well as the International Airport which can be accessed via the Erskine Bridge. West Highland Railway Garelochhead train station connects northbound to Oban, Mallaig and Fort William and southbound to Glasgow Queen Street High Level. Wilsons of Rhu also provide a frequent bus service (316) to Helensburgh. The town is known as the ‘Garden City of the Clyde’, famous for its tree-lined streets and the spectacular cherry blossom that flowers every year. Enjoy the gardens at Glenarn, or explore Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House.
