Description
Ferhome Estate Agents present a three-bedroom detached bungalow in Cove, set on a substantial plot near the shore of Loch Long. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, a spacious lounge with a brick fireplace, a dining area and a south-facing conservatory. The kitchen connects to a utility area with access to the garden. There are three double bedrooms with built-in storage, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
The property has private parking for multiple vehicles and extensive garden grounds with lawn, mature trees and shrubs, and a path around the house. Both the interior and gardens would benefit from modernisation and attention, giving a buyer scope to update the accommodation and outdoor space. The plot may offer potential for an extension or further development, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents.
Cove is on the Rosneath Peninsula, with local amenities shared with neighbouring Kilcreggan, including a shop, cafés and a sailing club. Ferry connections from Kilcreggan and rail services from Helensburgh provide links towards Glasgow.

Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £220,000, this detached bungalow is priced below the local average per square foot, giving project buyers an attractive entry point. The appeal is the setting: a substantial garden in Cove, a conservatory with Loch Long views, and a spacious lounge with a brick fireplace. Inside, the finishes are dated and carpets are worn in several rooms, while the overgrown garden offers plenty of scope to reshape the property and grounds.
Renovation economics are a softer point: the asking price is reasonable enough, yet £50,000 of quoted works still lifts all-in spend towards £270,000 — roughly 7% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. The project can still appeal to the right buyer, yet the numbers are not exceptional.
Key opportunities
- Acquire below the local average £/sqf and update the dated interiors to suit your own taste.
- Refresh the kitchen and bathroom areas, redecorate and replace worn flooring to modernise the home.
- Restore the overgrown garden and make the most of the substantial plot, mature planting and conservatory outlook towards Loch Long.
Key risks
- The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range leaves purchase-plus-refurb costs tight against local average benchmarks; allow for a disciplined budget.
