Set on a very large, mature plot with panoramic Loch Gilp and Loch Fyne views, this five-bedroom detached villa offers substantial living space and clear development potential. The property includes a generous lounge with loch views, a fully fitted kitchen, utility room and a four-piece family bathroom. A rear external staircase and potential for separate accommodation make the layout flexible for multigenerational use.
Planning Permission in Principle (Ref 23/00912/PPP) exists for a detached dwelling within the grounds, creating an opportunity to build, invest or expand. The grounds include level lawns, patio areas and direct access to the Crinan Canal towpath. Off-street parking and a large timber shed add practical value for storage and parking.
The house benefits from PVC double glazing, oil-fired heating, mains services and a recently installed smart meter. Mobile signal is excellent, however broadband speeds are slow and the council tax band is high. The property requires some modernisation and cosmetic renovation throughout; buyers should budget for updates to finishes and systems where needed.
This villa will appeal to buyers seeking coastal living with scope to create income or additional accommodation, as well as families wanting space and views. The location is extremely sought-after for its natural beauty and canal-side access, but the home’s renovation needs and area-level deprivation should be weighed against its clear development upside.
