    About this property

    • Creag Dhubh is an attractive B Listed stone-built detached former manse which dates from 1851. The house occupies a prime spot within Inveraray and boasts stunning views over Loch Fyne to the Cowal Hills. The property retains many original period features, and at present the accommodation is divided between generous family living space and separate B&B guest rooms. It also benefits from the recent conversion of a one bedroom annexe at the rear which has its own access. Currently the owners' living accommodation is entered from the side into the generously-sized dining kitchen. This is set up for commercial use but could be easily adapted to create a wonderful family dining kitchen. There is an excellent sized reception room with views over the loch with sitting room off, WC and utility on the ground floor, with a double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The B&B accommodation is in the original part of the house and benefits from its own entrance at the front. A vestibule opens into a welcoming reception hallway. There is a spacious dining room accessed from the hallway with windows overlooking the loch. There is a downstairs bedroom with en suite and five en suite bedrooms on the first floor. To the rear of the property with its own access is the recently converted one bedroom annexe with sitting room, shower room and bedroom on the upper floor. The gardens are set back from the main road and surrounded by lovely landscaped gardens. Mainly laid to lawn, there is an extensive paved terrace for sitting out. A tarmac driveway leads from the main road to the front of the house, where there is ample parking for a number of cars. There is also a detached garage.
