Description
Creag Dhubh is an attractive B Listed stone - built detached former manse which
dates from 1851. The house occupies a prime spot within Inveraray and boasts
stunning views over Loch Fyne to the Cowal Hills. The property retains many
original period features, and at present the accommodation is divided between
generous family living space and separate B&B guest rooms. It also benefits
from the recent conversion of a one bedroom annexe at the rear which has its
own access. Currently the owners’ living accommodation is entered from the
side into the generously - sized dining kitchen. This is set up for commercial
use but could be easily adapted to create a wonderful family dining kitchen.
There is an excellent sized reception room with views over the loch with
sitting room off, WC and utility on the ground floor, with a double bedroom
and bathroom on the first floor. The B&B accommodation is in the original part
of the house and benefits from its own entrance at the front. A vestibule
opens into a welcoming reception hallway. There is a spacious dining room
accessed from the hallway with windows overlooking the loch. There is a
downstairs bedroom with en suite and five en suite bedrooms on the first
floor. To the rear of the property with its own access is the recently
converted one bedroom annexe with sitting room, shower room and bedroom on the
upper floor. The gardens are set back from the main road and surrounded by
lovely landscaped gardens. Mainly laid to lawn, there is an extensive paved
terrace for sitting out. A tarmac driveway leads from the main road to the
front of the house, where there is ample parking for a number of cars. There
is also a detached garage.
Location
local info
Craigdhu sits in wonderfully tended gardens on the edge of the popular town of
Inveraray, with wonderful views over Loch Fyne. It is within easy walking
distance of both the town centre and the famous castle.
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. Known as the gateway to
the Highlands and Islands, Inveraray offers access to national parks,
mountains, glorious gardens and beautiful islands. There are a number of
specialist shops, cafés and restaurants (including the Samphire Seafood
restaurant) which sell mainly locally sourced produce – perhaps the most
popular being The George Hotel which offers an excellent selection of food and
drink while also hosting live entertainment at the weekend. A good sized Co - op
store is located within a short walk of the property.
