Charming bungalow in enviable position with stunning views over Loch Long.
Description
Norse Lodge is a charming three bedroom bungalow with conservatory set in 0.69 acres in the beautiful hamlet of Portincaple on the banks of Loch Long, surrounded by the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park on three sides.
The accommodation begins with access through a handy utility space with the well equipped, fitted kitchen beyond. Entering into the hall, the eye is immediately drawn to the breathtaking views. The flow of the property naturally leads towards the back of the house, to take advantage of the open aspects across the water.
The spacious living room centres around a cosy fireplace, with additional space for a dining area. From here there are double doors opening onto a raised timber deck which can also be accessed from the adjacent home office. The conservatory sits at the rear of the property and offers a peaceful indoor space from which to appreciate the incredibly scenic position.
There are three double bedrooms – one with an en suite shower room – and a family bathroom with separate shower.
The property also benefits from extensive cellar space spanning the entire footprint of the house.
The gardens are extensive with many well placed seating areas, mainly laid to lawn but with access down the hill and out onto the beach below. There is an additional shed that is perfect for housing garden machinery or water sports equipment.
Location
Just 34.7 miles from Glasgow Central Station, Portincaple is an Area of Panoramic Quality (APQ), the only one in Argyll & Bute’s Helensburgh and Lomond district. Situated within the centre of the APQ, Norse Lodge enjoys the very best of these outstanding views. Garelochhead is the closest village (1.9 miles) and offers a local store, primary school and a train station which gives direct access to Glasgow Queen Street, the West Highlands and also the Caledonian Sleeper service to London.
Helensburgh is 9 miles away. Helensburgh Central Station is on the main Glasgow Queen Street railway line, with Helensburgh Upper Station on the West Highland line. The town offers a selection of primary schools, with Hermitage Academy being the local secondary school. Private schooling is catered for by Lomond School which provides facilities for day pupils and boarders alike. Helensburgh offers a wide range of local amenities and good local shopping and numerous civic and leisure services.
The property is well situated for golfers with easy access to Helensburgh Golf Club and the world famous Loch Lomond Golf Club. The Glencoe and Nevis Range ski areas are both within approximately an hour and a half’s drive and for water sports enthusiasts Loch Long, opening into the Firth of Clyde, provides access to some of Scotland’s most testing sailing waters. Rhu Marina, home to many a fine sailing craft, is about 7 miles away, as is the historic Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club, the patron of which is HRH the Princess Royal.
