Beautiful detached cottage with sea views and an extensive and most exquisite garden in a peaceful and private setting in the coastal village of Kames. Upgraded, modernised and reconfigured in recent times, ‘Violet Cottage’ has a lovely homely feel to it, is in walk-in condition and comprises a large front-facing conservatory, a generous open-plan lounge / kitchen with multi-fuel stove which also heats the radiators and water throughout the property, two double bedrooms and bathroom. Externally, the current owners have totally transformed the sizeable gardens, which now boast numerous lawned and seating areas, interesting walkways with a plethora of colourful trees, plants and shrubs throughout, covered BBQ area, garage, carport / timber storage and driveway. Properties such as Violet Cottage seldom appear on the open market and there is no doubt that this will generate a high level of interest to a vast array of potential buyers so early viewing is a must!
The picturesque villages of Tighnabruaich and Kames sit on Kyles of Bute and are famous for their scenic beauty and sailing waters. The villages benefit from small local independent retailers as well as hotels, cafes and restaurants. The world renowned steamer, PS Waverley, also regularly berths at the pier. The wider area boasts a golf course, tennis court, children’s play area, sailing clubs and the ever expanding, and growing in stature, Portavadie Marina.
