Superb Lochside home with breath-taking views.
Aros is a beautiful, traditional family home which once served as the local school to children in the village. Constructed using traditional methods with stone and a slate roof, the property was extensively refurbished a number of years ago with the installation of the ground source heat pump and has had further improvements since, primarily the installation of a rear paved patio with greenhouse and solar panels.
Internally the property has a beautifully balanced layout with accommodation spread over two floors. The day room/living room with a wood burning stove has expansive windows providing generous levels of natural light maximising the stunning views across Loch Ard and is accessed via French doors from the entrance vestibule. Additional French doors open to the family room with focal wood burning stove and a dual aspect with loch facing windows and sliding glass doors opening to the rear garden. The dining room is a versatile space and could be used as a downstairs bedroom with bathroom ensuring that Aros is a property that can cater for all ages as well as providing stunning guest accommodation.
The modern kitchen was created to a bespoke design and has a granite worktop, wooden cabinets finished in solid oak, an electric Aga MasterChef and a bespoke moveable centre island. Patio doors lead out to the garden and the paved sitting area. A handy utility room is located off the kitchen.
The whole of the ground floor is underfloor heated via the ground source heat pump.
The first floor is accessed via a beautiful timber staircase with glazed balustrade and is formed of three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a principal suite complete with en suite shower room, walk in wardrobe and a balcony with the most incredible view over to Ben Lomond and across the gardens.
The gardens take on a naturally beautiful appearance carved into the rocky surface and are laid mostly to lawn with various areas of patio immediately surrounding the house providing wonderful vantage points for outdoor dining and enjoying the view. To the rear of the garden is a paved patio perfect for relaxing and a greenhouse for those with green fingers.
In addition to the main house there is a double garage with two electric up and over doors. Above the garage sits a studio apartment with wonderful loch views, private kitchenette and shower room. This would serve as a great rental income generator or indeed a superb home office.
