The Little House, Pier Road, Rhu G84

Set within generous and beautifully maintained garden grounds in the sought after conservation village of Rhu, ‘The Little House’ is a delightful detached home offering a rare combination of character, space, and flexibility. Thought to date back around 80 years, the property has been thoughtfully extended over time to provide substantial accommodation across two levels, along with a self-contained, ground floor annexe, perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or as a letting opportunity.

The welcoming entrance vestibule opens into a bright hallway leading to the main ground floor accommodation. The beautifully proportioned lounge is a standout feature of the home, boasting stunning wooden flooring, a large bay window that floods the room with natural light, and ample space to accommodate both living and dining areas. Double doors open out to a patio and the landscaped gardens, creating a perfect flow between indoors and out. From the lounge, there is direct access to a delightful sun room, which enjoys panoramic views over the gardens and provides a tranquil space to relax throughout the year. The modern kitchen offers an excellent range of fitted wall and floor units, stylish finishes, and direct access to the garden. The wooden flooring continues seamlessly through to this space, where French doors once again open out to the patio and garden, ideal for al fresco dining or entertaining. Across the hallway, a large contemporary shower room features a spacious walk-in shower, wc and wash hand basin, perfect for those seeking on-the-level living. Adjacent lies a generous double bedroom, also ideal as a guest room or home office. To the front of the house is another stunning double bedroom with a charming bay window and plenty of natural light. Upstairs, a bright landing leads to two further double bedrooms, one benefiting from a private dressing room, both offering a peaceful outdoor outlook. Completing this floor is a spacious family bathroom featuring a free standing claw-foot bath and a separate cloakroom with wc and wash hand basin.

Attached to the main house, the self-contained annexe provides an ideal solution for extended family, guests, or rental potential. The accommodation includes its own entrance hallway, a large and bright lounge with picture window and space for a dining area, a well-fitted kitchen with oven and hob, a comfortable double bedroom, and a fully tiled bathroom with bath, shower overhead, vanity wash hand basin and wc. The entire property benefits from gas-fired central heating and double glazing throughout.

‘The Little House’ is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens extending to the front, sides and rear. Accessed via a gravel driveway, the grounds include neatly kept lawns, paved pathways, raised vegetable beds and a gravelled drying area. The boundaries are defined by attractive stone walls, timber fencing and metal railings, with mature trees and shrubs providing excellent privacy and a wonderful sense of tranquillity.

The nearby town of Helensburgh provides excellent schools, an extensive selection of shops, cafés and restaurants, and train links to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
