Woodside is a substantial detached cottage dating from 1850, set on the shores of Loch Fyne with panoramic water and hillside views. The main house is presented in fresh decoration throughout, with hardwood-effect flooring, bright accommodation over two levels and flexible rooms including a self-contained licensed annexe currently used for income or guest accommodation.
The plot is a strong asset: well-kept, child- and pet-secure gardens, kitchen produce planters, a recently planted orchard and a stream running through to the shore. Practical outbuildings include a double garage with workshop space, stores, covered canopy and a glazed party/entertainment room. Rooms attached to the garage offer realistic potential for conversion into separate accommodation subject to planning permission.
Practicalities and constraints are clear. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. The property sits in a very deprived area and is fairly remote from larger services — Inveraray is about 10 miles away. There is no mooring included, and any mooring would require application to local mooring authorities. Council tax is high (Band G, £3,646.75 for 2025/26) and the EPC is band D.
This home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful coastal lifestyle, productive gardens and flexible living or income options. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers prepared to manage rural living trade-offs: limited broadband, travel distances and the usual maintenance needs of a period stone-built property with outbuildings and garden infrastructure.
