This striking 5 bedroomed detached Victorian villa occupies an elevated and enviable position in the popular village of Clynder, commanding breathtaking panoramic views over the Gare Loch. A true gem in a semi rural setting, the property combines timeless architectural character with generous, flexible living space and beautifully maintained garden grounds, offering a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and prestige just a short drive from Helensburgh. Dating from the Victorian era and constructed in solid stone, this elegant home has been thoughtfully extended and sympathetically upgraded, preserving a wealth of original period features while accommodating the needs of modern family life.
From the moment you step inside the traditional storm doors into the entrance vestibule and grand reception hall, it’s clear this is a home of considerable distinction. The large formal lounge features a traditional open coal fireplace, intricate timber detailing, beautiful bright bay windows with original shutters letting in an abundance of natural light and delicate cornicing detailing on the ceiling. Across the hall is the dining room which exudes similar character, complete with a wood-burning stove and period fireplace, perfect for entertaining in front of a crackling fire. There is also a large window with views over the Gare Loch, and again intricate cornicing on the ceiling. A third reception room on the ground floor serves flexibly as an additional sitting room or fifth bedroom, with a timber mantel and yet another wood burning stove, offering ideal space for guests or multi generational living. At the heart of the home lies the country style breakfasting kitchen with views to the rear of the property. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a classic Belfast sink, and a statement Aga stove, a perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and rustic charm. A well equipped utility room adjoins the kitchen, offering further storage, a stainless steel sink, pantry, clothes pulley, and direct access to the rear garden. Practicality continues with a modern ground floor shower room, with walk in shower enclosure, and wc. There is a separate cloakroom with wc under the stairs.
Upstairs, a generous and light filled landing opens into a bright, extended study area, perfect for home working or as a peaceful retreat. From here, are four spacious and characterful bedrooms, each bathed in natural light. The luxurious master suite enjoys stunning views over the front gardens towards the water and features a stylish ensuite bathroom complete with a free-standing roll-top claw-foot bath. The second bedroom, currently used as a home office, is a comfortable double room with original shutters and views across the front of the property. The third bedroom combines modern design with period charm, boasting a traditional fireplace as its focal point, along with water views and original shutters also. The fourth bedroom is beautifully decorated and benefits from bespoke under-window and eaves storage, perfect for family living. Continuing along the hallway, past the study area, elegant double doors lead out to the back garden. The family bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a separate walk-in shower and tasteful finishes that complement the home’s overall aesthetic. Throughout the upper floor, original features such as decorative fireplaces, built-in eaves storage, and the exquisite timber staircase with its ornate balustrade enhance the timeless character of the property.
Externally, the property is surrounded by mature, sloping gardens that have been meticulously landscaped to create a series of beautiful and usable outdoor spaces. From rolling lawns and established borders to a charming pond, stone retaining walls, and winding steps, every corner of the garden has something unique to offer. A raised walkway leads from the upper landing to the elevated rear garden. Additional features include a detached concrete panel garage with metal roofing and up-and-over door, a large timber garden shed, potting shed, lean-to store, and even a preserved Anderson shelter. Several hen runs add to the property's rural charm, while two separate driveways provide ample off-street parking.
Set in the tranquil coastal village of Clynder, on the picturesque Rosneath Peninsula, this home offers the perfect blend of rural charm and accessibility. Clynder is a sought-after village on the shores of the Gare Loch, known for its peaceful setting, strong sense of community, and scenic walking routes. Just a short drive from Helensburgh, with its excellent schools, shopping, and train links to Glasgow, Clynder offers an ideal balance of countryside living with modern convenience. The property’s elevated position affords beautiful open views across the water, enhancing the sense of space and serenity.
