We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated on the highly desirable Pier Road in the picturesque coastal village of Rhu, Rowmore Lodge is a charming converted coach house that combines striking original character with comfortable modern living.
Set within mature private grounds and approached via an attractive cobbled courtyard, the property enjoys a peaceful setting just moments from the waterfront and the popular Rhu Marina.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels and offers a wonderful sense of space and individuality throughout.
At the heart of the home is a bright and welcoming kitchen featuring a range cooker and wood-burning stove set within a tiled recess, creating a warm focal point for the room.
A high ceiling with exposed beams enhances the sense of space, while doors open directly onto the garden, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room and creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
The property enjoys two distinctive reception rooms.
The principal lounge is a particularly impressive space, defined by a dramatic exposed stone feature wall and high ceiling with exposed timber beams that celebrate the building’s heritage.
French doors open directly onto the garden, filling the room with natural light and creating an inviting environment for relaxing or hosting guests.
In addition, a cosy snug offers a more intimate retreat, complete with its own wood-burning stove, making it the perfect space for quieter evenings.
A convenient downstairs shower room adds practicality for family living and visiting guests.
Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, providing flexible accommodation suited to family living, guest rooms or home working.
The bathroom is well maintained and complements the character of the home, while gas central heating and double glazing ensure comfort and efficiency throughout the year.
Externally, Rowmore Lodge is surrounded by mature private gardens with seating areas that provide a peaceful setting for relaxing or outdoor dining.
The cobbled courtyard offers practical off-street parking while adding to the charm and character of the property. The location is exceptional.
Just a short walk away are waterfront walks, the highly regarded Rhu Marina and local cafés, while the nearby town of Helensburgh provides an excellent range of shops, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities.
Transport links are excellent, with rail services offering direct connections to Glasgow and Edinburgh, alongside convenient road access to Faslane, Coulport, Garelochhead, Loch Lomond and Glasgow Airport.
Rowmore Lodge offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive converted coach house in one of the area’s most sought-after coastal locations, combining peaceful village living with excellent connectivity.
