Description
Avenue Cottage is a pretty detached home set amid generous well stocked
gardens just off the favoured Avenue address and from where the house name is
derived. The orientation of the house is due south and there are spectacular
and often dramatic seascape views out across the head of Loch Fyne towards St
Catherines and the Cowal land mass adjacent.

station. It is of white painted harled exterior finish over an exposed natural
stone base course. The entire house is under a new tiled roof which was
completed around 2006. Internally, the accommodation is light and bright, the

Situation
Avenue Cottage is situated at the southern fringe of the side of the
attractive and popular tourist destination town of Inveraray in the heart of
Argyll & Bute. The property is set amid generous gardens and there are simply
wonderful views out across the head of Loch Fyne to the Cowal peninsula land
mass adjacent.
Inveraray is a classic 18th century planned town that was built on the site of
an early fishing village by the 3rd Duke of Argyll. The town is known as the
western gateway to the Highlands and Islands. There is a good range of local
shops and provisions stores including a mid - size co - op. There are also
boutique type specialist shops, cafés and restaurants including the Samphire
Seafood restaurant which sells mainly locally sourced produce. The George
Hotel has always drawn people to the area and has an enviable reputation for
providing award winning food and drink as well as hosting regular live
entertainment at the weekends. Loch Fyne Oysters is also a destination eatery
located to the north of the town at the head of Loch Fyne.
Glasgow, about 61 miles away, offers a full range of higher and further
education services, as well as all the cultural and professional services
normally connected with a major city. The A83 and A82 offer swift access to
central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (23 miles) providing
access to the main west coast line to Glasgow. Inveraray is also served by a
bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on
the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban.
The locality of Loch Fyne - side offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits. The
forest tracks around Inveraray offer lovely country walks and safe off - road
cycle routes.
Inveraray has a 9 - hole golf course, the nearest 18 hole course is at
Lochgilphead. The Loch Fyne Hotel has a swimming pool and Spa.
Mid - Argyll presents some of the most dramatic seascapes and landscapes on the
West Coast of Scotland. Sea, river and loch fishing are easily available, as
are a number of organised private and commercial low ground shoots as well as
deer - stalking. There are excellent opportunities for boating/yachting on Loch
Fyne, leading not only to the Clyde estuary but also to the Crinan Canal
across the Mull of Kintyre to the Hebrides and the Atlantic.
