Description

Discover a unique opportunity on the shores of Loch Fyne at Hazel Bank. This attractive detached bungalow, Allt na Beithe, is situated in a prime location within well-maintained grounds and enclosed mature gardens. The property boasts stunning views over Loch Fyne and the surrounding landscape, offering a picturesque backdrop of water, woodland, and mountains. While the accommodation currently consists of an entrance hallway, a bay-fronted lounge with a solid-fuel fire, a separate dining room with French doors leading to the front garden, and three double bedrooms, it requires a substantial program of upgrading and modernization. The compact kitchen provides access to the rear garden and would greatly benefit from reconfiguration. Heating is currently provided by an outdated electric system, and the original timber-framed glazed windows are in need of replacement. Significant external works have already been completed, including attention to the chimneys, roof, and garden grounds. The property presents an appealing prospect for restoration or contemporary redesign. There may also be potential for further development or extension, subject to necessary planning permissions. The generous land to the side offers opportunities for additional accommodation, such as holiday pods or an Airbnb venture. The tranquil setting enhances the appeal of this home, making it ideal for those seeking a permanent residence, holiday retreat, or investment project. St Catherines serves as an excellent base for exploring the wider Argyll and Cowal peninsula, with nearby Inveraray providing essential amenities and attractions. This property represents a rare chance to acquire a detached home with land, views, and considerable potential in one of Argyll's most captivating locations.

36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity on the scenic shores of Loch Fyne, set within well-tended grounds and offering picturesque views. While the interior shows visible signs of wear and is in need of significant refurbishment, the competitive asking price of £245,000 could attract buyers looking for a project with genuine potential. It’s important to note that while the price is appealing, the exact local £/sqf comparison is not available, creating some uncertainty regarding its market value.

The property boasts a solid structure with well-maintained external features, including the roof and garden. Internally, you’ll find dated living spaces and a compact kitchen that requires modernisation. This offers a blank canvas for buyers who envision transforming the space into a contemporary retreat or holiday home. The potential for further development or layout reconfiguration adds an exciting dimension to the project, making it a tempting option for those willing to invest in improvements. However, prospective buyers should be prepared for a substantial renovation effort to bring the property up to modern standards.
