**closing date Monday 11th September @ 12 noon** Letrualt Farm sits in a
magnificent location at the top end of Letrualt Farm Lane and commands
spectacular views across the waters of the Gareloch to the Rosneath Peninsula.
The original farm house dates back at least 150 years, with the property
having been considerably extended, redeveloped and remodelled over the years
providing four additional bedrooms upstairs in the 1970’s. Its fair to say
that the property does require a degree of modernisation and upgrading, yet it
does offer spectacular family accommodation over its two floors extending to
over 2238 square feet. The property sits amidst extensive garden grounds that
are believed to extend to between two and three acres and immediately adjacent
to the house, on either side there are two substantial farm buildings. The
site offers great potential for further redevelopment and is likely to appeal
to those with equestrian interests due to the available additional land.
Please note that the vendor has received planning permission to redevelop the
house and one of the byres. Clyde Property are able to provide a copy of the
proposed drawings on request. Potential purchasers can also view the decision
notice and other relevant documents on the Argyll and Bute Council website in
the Planning section (Ref : 22/01888/pp)
The property is entered from the lane where there is extensive parking to one
side and to the front of the property, a large lawned area with decked terrace
is great for entertaining and enjoying the views. Beyond this there is a
further paddock. In total the garden grounds surrounding the property extend
to between two and three acres and as mentioned there are two substantial
outbuildings adjacent to the farm house both of which are requiring attention.
There is a gravelled and partly surfaced driveway along the rear side of the
property which gives access to a courtyard area and to one side of the
outbuildings is a further hard standing area. In addition to the two to three
acres of formal gardens that surround the property there is a further twenty
acres or thereby of land to the north west which is included as part of the
overall sale. This additional ground will not be sold separately. The
additional land consists of mature woodland and numerous fields which are
currently rented to a neighbouring farmer for rough grazing. There are various
water courses running through this land and numerous tracks run through the
fields to the rear with one leading up to the bridge under the West Highland
railway line. Please note that the Home Report valuation pertains only to the
farmhouse, outbuildings and the two to three acres of immediate grounds and
does not include the additional twenty acres of land being sold.
On entering the house, on the ground floor there is a reception hall leading
to a lounge, a separate dining room, dining kitchen, utility room and
cloakroom and on the upper level, there are five generous sized bedrooms along
with a family bathroom. Windows are replacement uPVC double glazed units and
there is mains gas in to the property with a combination boiler.
Letrualt Farm Lane enjoys a quiet, traffic free and semi rural setting on the
edge of the conservation village of Rhu, it is elevated and enjoys a great
deal of privacy and with the nearby village providing good local amenities
