NEW TO MARKET
AN easy drive down the M8/ A78 from Glasgow, Inverkip’s accessibility, railway station, yacht marina, and growing number of new build developments has seen it blossom into a residential property hotspot. Currently on the market is Beechtree Cottage, a more traditional looking semi-detached cottage on the village main street, which comes with a large wrap-round garden – and an asking price of offers over £135,000, making it an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors.
This is an interesting property with a quirky layout. The front door opens into a small hallway, off which is a large bay-windowed living room with a focal fireplace. There is also a raised dining area in the window bay, to take advantage of countryside views, as well as an external door and steps down to the garden. Also on the ground level is a good-sized contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, excellent storage, and attractive blue and white theme.
A staircase in the hall leads up to a bright and spacious dormer double bedroom with built-in storage, and a contemporary bathroom with over-bath shower and vanity storage. The cottage’s second bedroom is only accessible from outside at the rear – a selfcontained, carpeted basement bedroom with rear-facing window and adjoining en suite shower room.
Adding to this home’s appeal is an expansive wrap-round garden, mainly laid to lawn with a fenced front/side garden with lawn, shrubs, low-maintenance white chipped areas for potted planters, and useful locked shed for storing bicycles and garden equipment. At the rear is a sizeable, decked patio with sheltered seating/dining area and a timber-built shed.
Ready to move into and immaculately presented throughout, Beechtree Cottage is a delightful property in a much-admired setting within this popular village.
