Merrylee Cottage is a picture‑postcard lochside home offering panoramic views across Loch Fyne and direct shore access — ideal for sailing enthusiasts or anyone seeking a tranquil rural retreat. The stone‑built cottage (circa 1885) blends original character such as sash and case windows and an ornate staircase with contemporary finishes in the kitchen and bathroom. The layout is flexible: lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility, three double bedrooms and a generous modern bathroom.
The grounds are a major asset: extensive established gardens, fruit trees, a raised patio and private path to the loch. Ample off‑street parking and a nearby public boat launching slipway (circa 200 yards) add practical appeal. Highspeed broadband, excellent mobile signal and digital TV are available, supporting holiday‑let use or part‑time remote working.
Practical notes: the property is heated by oil central heating with an open fire; EPC D61 signals moderate energy performance and potential for improvement. The house is presented in immaculate condition but, as a Victorian stone building, it may present typical maintenance and retrofit considerations for insulation and energy efficiency. The home report shows mostly category 1 ratings. The cottage has previously operated successfully as a holiday let; contents and bookings can be negotiated separately.
This is a rare loch‑facing detached cottage in a small community between Inveraray and Lochgilphead — appealing to buyers seeking character, outdoor access, and seafaring opportunities. Note the rural location and limited local services; a short drive is needed for wider amenities and schools.
