It is an ideal property for friends and families to escape their hectic lives and relax in the tranquillity of the surrounding area. The coastal village of Cove is situated on the south-west side of the Rosneath Peninsula in Argyll and Bute. It has convenient amenities such as a shop, tearoom and pub. There is a range of activities on offer, whether you’re into walking, cycling, water sports or fishing, particularly at the holiday resort of Rosneath (4 miles). Benefitting from the gulf stream, the peninsula is also home to a botanic garden.

 

Sympathetically decorated to reflect its Victorian heritage, this flat boasts original features, statement furniture, sumptuous soft furnishings and large windows that frame the stunning scenery outside.

 

From the hallway, you can enter the beautiful lounge/diner with its high ceilings, original fireplace and incredible sea views, all of which create a feeling of sophistication and grandeur. The dining area in front of the window is the perfect spot for afternoon tea or a board game and the kitchen is well-equipped. The three bedrooms (one four-poster king-size, one double and one twin) are as immaculately presented as the rest of the house with a few contemporary touches. There is an en-suite shower room for the double room as well as a large family bathroom with underfloor heating.

 

Outside, there is a wonderful, enclosed, private garden to the front with seating from which to enjoy the views across the water. There is also a shared garden to the rear with bike storage, which can be accessed from the kitchen. There is ample off-road parking.
