Nestled in the serene coastal village of Clynder on the Rosneath Peninsula, this upper villa offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Housed in an elegant traditional stone-built property, the home occupies the first floor and a converted attic space, providing a spacious layout with characterful details and stunning views across the Gareloch.
Originally divided into two flats in the 1960s, this upper unit retains many original features that could be enhanced with modernization. While it has undergone some upgrades over time, there is ample potential for further improvements that would allow new owners to tailor the space to their liking. This versatile layout is well-suited for families or individuals looking for a combination of charm and functionality in an idyllic setting.
Accessed through a shared driveway leading to a private entrance at the rear, the property features a welcoming hallway that opens up to a bright lounge complete with an open fire set in a stone-effect surround. The adjoining dining room boasts another decorative fireplace, adding to its appeal. The generously sized kitchen includes wall and base units along with a large range-style LPG cooker, while stairs lead up to the attic level where two additional bedrooms benefit from timber-framed Velux windows, flooding the area with natural light.
On the main floor, you'll find two well-proportioned bedrooms—one large enough for double occupancy—alongside a shower room equipped with modern amenities like an electric shower and vanity wash hand basin. Most windows have been upgraded to PVC double glazing, enhancing energy efficiency while preserving some vintage charm with existing sash and casement styles.
Outside, garden grounds are allocated for exclusive use by this flat, situated both alongside the driveway and at the rear of the property. These outdoor spaces offer potential for landscaping or further development, surrounded by mature trees that provide privacy. Two timber sheds near the driveway might require some refurbishment but add extra utility to this expansive property.
The village of Clynder enjoys tranquility while still being within reach of essential services in nearby Rosneath—home to local shops and schools—and Helensburgh, located just 25 minutes away by car. Helensburgh boasts more extensive shopping options, restaurants, leisure activities, and reliable transport links to Glasgow.
With its breathtaking coastal vistas and rich architectural history combined with significant renovation potential, this property represents not only immediate living comfort but also an attractive investment opportunity in a desirable location.
