Ardgour is on the left hand side at lamppost 43. Situation Ardgour is a fine Victorian villa, set back from the waterside with views directly down the Firth of Clyde towards the Isle of Arran. Ferrying first began in the villages of Cove and Kilcreggan in 1840 when the use of steamers on the Clyde made it more accessible. The first houses were used only as summer houses, but as time went on, permanent occupation took place. As roads and vehicles developed, steamer traffic declined and one by one the piers closed. Today, Kilcreggan Pier remains the only traditional pier on the Clyde still in daily use. It has a rich architectural heritage of Victorian mansions and castles. Famous architects such as Alexander Greek Thomson, William Leiper and John Honeyman were among many to build impressive homes for wealthy clients. Kilcreggan has a small shop and other local amenities including GP practise. Today many such homes remain, with villagers commuting to Glasgow by road in around an hour, under normal driving conditions, or by ferry, with a journey time of around 15 minutes to Gourock where there is a direct train to Glasgow. Glasgow Airport can be reached in around 60 minutes under normal driving conditions. Kilcreggan has its own primary school with the local secondary at the nearest town of Helensburgh (17 miles). Lomond School in Helensburgh provides excellent private schooling at primary and secondary level. Helensburgh is renowned as one of Scotland s most desirable towns with excellent local shopping, a swimming pool, golf course and the nearby Rhu Marina. Kilcreggan has a thriving social scene and excellent facilities for sailors of all ages and abilities in the area. Loch Lomond and the world-renowned Loch Lomond Golf Club are within 23 miles. Some of Britain s most spectacular sailing waters are to be found on Scotland s west coast. Description Ardgour is a traditional Category C listed property formed over two levels under a slate roof and is thought to date from around Double storm doors open to the vestibule with a part glazed door leading to the entrance hallway. The entrance hallway, like much of the property, has painted wooden floorboards, and a decorative cornice. Off the hallway is the main living accommodation.

4 The drawing room to the left has an intricate decorative cornice and central rose, fireplace with log burning stove and wooden mantle, window seat from which to admire the stunning sea views, and again painted wooden floorboards. The fitted kitchen is open plan but split level to the dining room and enjoys wonderful sea views. It has an oil fired Aga, floor and wall cupboards with timber work surfaces, part tiled walls and a central island with a stainless steel sink. There is another decorative cornice and ceiling rose above the dining area. The utility room is accessed through an archway. A studio/study looks out onto the rear gardens. A two piece cloakroom and boot room complete the ground floor. A period wooden staircase with cast iron balustrade and polished wooden handrail leads firstly to a half landing where there is a useful storage cupboard. The stairs then continue up to the first floor landing which is embellished with a decorative cornice. Off the landing is a traditional layout of four bedrooms (one bedroom is currently used as a sitting room). The family bathroom has a Velux window and includes a bath, WC, wash hand basin and a separate corner shower. Gardens and Grounds From the main road a stone chipped driveway leads through wooden gates to a gravel parking area to the front of the property. The front is laid mainly to lawn with a copper beech hedge on one side and a drystone dyke on the other with herbaceous borders with a variety of maturing trees, shrubs and plants. The rear garden comprises a formal parterre crisscrossed by gravel pathways, and an expanse of lawn. There is a terrace with seating area and a newly planted orchard with apple, cherry, pear and damson trees. To the side of the orchard are several soft fruit bushes. A woodland cliff towards the back of the garden provides a dramatic backdrop. A small wooded area at the top extends to a low wall which marks the boundary.
