Summary - COWAL FARM, CAIRNDOW, STRACHUR PA27 8DH
5 bed 2 bath Detached
5-bed farmhouse on 7.21 acres with buildings and development potential.
Five-bedroom traditional farmhouse with flexible accommodation
Set on about 7.21 acres on the Cowal Peninsula, this five-bedroom farmhouse offers flexible family accommodation and genuine rural potential. The property includes a large traditional shed, garage and stable; planning consent was previously achieved for development of the shed, and further development is possible subject to gaining necessary consents. Its sizeable paddocks have been used for grazing and equestrian purposes and are enclosed with post-and-wire fencing with direct access to the public road and farm track.
The house is a mid-20th-century two-storey farmhouse with traditional proportions and a large garden. Interiors are spacious but dated: the EPC rating is F, and the building will need modernization in areas, with some signs of damp reported in places. Buyers should be prepared for renovation work, possible upgrade of services, and the typical costs of bringing an older rural home up to modern standards.
Practical positives include a huge plot, detached garage, flexible room layout (ground-floor bedroom available), and easy road access to Strachur and Dunoon. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — suitable for rural living but limiting for heavy home-working without investment. The area is remote and classified as very deprived, so services and amenities are limited locally, though larger towns and ferry links to Gourock are within commuting reach.
This property suits buyers seeking space, privacy and outdoor pursuits: families wanting room to keep animals, hobby farmers, or purchasers seeking a renovation project with development upside (subject to planning). It is not a turnkey purchase; budget for improvements and consider the costs and timelines of any planning and refurbishment work.
