A “large and elegant” Victorian villa with excellent views across the Firth of Clyde has gone up for sale in Kilcreggan.
The main home contains five bedrooms and three social rooms while a coach house contains an additional bedroom and more living space.
Looking for offers over £599,000, the C-listed home extends to almost 2,900 square feet.
The front door leads into the entrance vestibule which gives access to the main hallway.
From here there is access to the spacious lounge, a dining room with a large bay window, a sitting room - all of which contain fireplaces - and a modern shower room.
The main hallway also leads to an inner hallway which gives access to a refitted breakfasting kitchen which features an AGA, island unit, several other appliances, and double French doors opening out to the gardens.
Off the kitchen there is a utility room, a workshop with a wood storage, and a pantry area with stairs leading to a room which could function as a bedroom or home office.
The first floor’s main landing is accessed via a staircase from the main hallway.
A half landing houses the main family bathroom which features a three-piece suite including a claw foot bath, vanity wash basin, and w/c.
From the main landing, three of the home’s five double bedrooms can be accessed, with the principal bedroom featuring a large walk-in dressing room as well as a bow window with views over the water.
The property is warmed by an oil-fired central heating system and many of the windows in the house have been replaced with uPVC double glazed sealed units – though some windows are still single glazed.
The former coach house has been converted into a small cottage with two floors.
The ground floor contains a modern kitchen, a dining room, a lounge, a w/c, and a storage cupboard.
Moving upstairs, the first floor features a bedroom, a shower room, and a storage cupboard.
The gardens that surround the house are enclosed by walls, fencing, and mature trees.
A cobbled driveway leads to the home and parking area to the side of the house contains space for numerous vehicles.
Large lawns surround around the house and feature colourful bedded and shrubbed areas.
The front garden features a decked area while the rear garden contains an additional raised decked sitting space.
To the side of the home there is a vegetable garden, timber shed, potting shed, wood store, and greenhouse.
Estate agents Clyde Property said: “Claremont is a large and elegant detached Victorian stone built villa that sits in extensive gardens enjoying a glorious spot on the shore road, with uninterrupted views across the waters of the Firth of Clyde as far as Arran in the distance.
“Being of significant local interest, the property enjoys a C listed status, and it comes with an adjoining, fully self-contained cottage that was once the coach house.
“The cottage offers great scope for use as a holiday cottage/Air BnB and has its own independent phone line, enabling independent guest internet or even business connections.
“The house itself extends to almost 2900 square feet in total, with generously proportioned rooms over its two floors and with a very versatile layout that combines delightful period details along with a modern specification throughout.”
