Toward, Dunoon

An extremely well presented substantial detached home which provides excellent principal family accommodation.
Blonay is a well-conceived, modern detached family home which offers flexible and deceptively spacious accommodation laid out over two light and bright and easily managed levels. The house has been well built to craftsman like standards, it is generously proportioned and completed in white quartz render with smooth ashlar relief at quoins and smooth render at windows, all under a tiled roof. Blonay stands on a mature, generous and well landscaped plot which enjoys a south westerly exposure at the rear taking maximum advantage of afternoon and evening sunshine. Internally the house features engineered oak board flooring, dressed oak doors with bevel glass, good quality kitchen and bathroom ware with complimentary coloured ceramics and a deceptively spacious layout of accommodation which included useful ‘office from home’ space. The situation, being close to the water at Toward and with views to upper reaches of the firth of Clyde will be appealing to many and we predict good levels of interest from the current buoyant marketplace.

Situation
Blonay is situated in the coastal hamlet of Toward on the Cowal Peninsula on the west
coast of Scotland. The house is only a few hundred metres from the well-known and striking west of Scotland landmark of Toward lighthouse.
The bustling west coast, Cowal Peninsula town of Dunoon is about 6.5 miles to the north. Dunoon is the main town of the Cowal Peninsula and has a complete range of shopping, leisure and professional services. The town has a good range of welcoming pubs and restaurants, a theatre, cinema, swimming pool and leisure centre.
At Dunoon there are both the Caledonian MacBrayne and Western Ferries terminals
from where there are frequent passenger and vehicular sailings across to Gourock. From
here, the road and public transport links make it possible to commute on a daily basis to
Glasgow and the central belt. Holiday makers to Cowal experience the feeling of apparent
mainland detachment created by the pleasant short ferry crossing. It is also possible to drive to Glasgow via Loch Lomond which takes a little longer but is via some of the most famous and breath-taking mountain, lochs and glens countryside in western Scotland. Dunoon is the gateway to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and it has some of the most dramatic and picturesque scenery in the west of Scotland.
As with most parts of Scotland one is never too far from a golf course and Dunoon is no
exception the district having three challenging courses.
The expanding Holy Loch Marina is nearby with its berthing and associated chandlery
services, it is an excellent base from which to sail and explore the world famous lower Clyde, the Kyles of Bute and all the connected inland sea lochs and waterways.
Sea fishing is available on the Firth of Clyde and it is possible to fish for salmon and sea
trout by permit on some of the rivers and lochs of the district.
The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery and wildlife, there are near endless walks, hill climbs and quiet country roads offering wonderful rambling and cycling country.
