About
This traditional terraced villa occupies a truly enviable shorefront position in the charming village of Skelmorlie.
Perfectly situated north of Largs and within a few miles of the larger town of Greenock, the property commands magnificent, uninterrupted views across the Firth of Clyde – a setting that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
The home retains a wealth of traditional features, including decorative cornicing and an attractive fireplace in the lounge, enhancing its character and charm.
The flexible accommodation comprises: Entrance vestibule, welcoming reception hall, dining room/study, third bedroom, well fitted dining kitchen with ample space for dining.
A short staircase leads down to the bathroom.
There is a sweeping staircase with full height picture window which floods this home with natural light and offers jaw dropping sea views, up to a generous upper hall which gives access to the superb west-facing lounge – where panoramic views over the Firth create a stunning backdrop – along with two further well appointed bedrooms.
The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite WC.
The lower ground level offers a basement with separate external access, which requires upgrading and refurbishment and offers five distinct sections (two with windows).
This area presents excellent scope for a variety of uses such as workshop/studio, or additional accommodation or storage.
Externally, this home offers mature, well-tended gardens offering a patio and extensive lawns which extend directly to the water’s edge, while the property also includes private parking and a single garage.
This is a rare opportunity to create a wonderful family home in a spectacular coastal setting, blending traditional character with fantastic potential.
Skelmorlie is a popular coastal village offering local amenities to include shopping, and primary schooling.
For the commuter, it is an ideal base as there are excellent road and rail networks out of the area in nearby Wemyss Bay and Largs.
There is also a regular CalMac service to the Isle of Bute and it is within close proximity of Inverkip Marina offering access to the renowned sailing waters of the West Coast
