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
Elegant 2-3 bed Victorian villa with sea views and landscaped gardens. Harwarden, 50 Clyde Street, is an impressive stone-built Victorian villa combining period grandeur with modern upgrades.
Set behind wrought iron gates, the home offers manicured front and rear gardens, a garage, and twin workshops.
Inside, a welcoming hallway with ornate mouldings leads to spacious reception rooms, a modern kitchen with utility, formal dining room, and two well-proportioned bedrooms—one with en suite—plus a stylish family bathroom.
Original features include intricate coving, picture rails, and Edinburgh presses, while recent improvements such as Everest double glazing and updated exterior finishes ensure comfort and efficiency.
Sea and hillside views complete this exceptional coastal home. The award-winning coastal village of Kirn is approximately one mile along the esplanade from Dunoon, Cowal’s capital town.
The village boasts a golf course, indoor and outdoor bowling club and independent retailers including newsagents, bakers, hairdressers, off-licences and take-aways, amongst others.
It is also conveniently placed for two ferries which provide rail and bus links to Greenock, Braehead and Glasgow.
In the Dunoon area there are two supermarkets, local shops and hairdressers aplenty, several cafes and restaurants, plenty of pubs, two leisure centres, numerous golf, bowling, tennis and sailing clubs, a two-screen cinema, a local museum and a concert venue.
There are also ample schools, churches, medical surgeries, dentists, a hospital and a veterinary practice.
