NEW TO MARKET A cool and modern coastal home

A high-spec, modern house positioned right on the water’s edge next to the picturesqu­e harbour

- BEVERLEY BROWN

RENOWNED as one of the West of Scotland’s enduringly popular holiday hotspots, Tighnabrua­ich’s proximity to the famous Kyles of Bute has become increasing popular as a work-from-home lifestyle location in recent years.

One newcomer to the block in the neighbouri­ng village of Kames is Bydand, a particular­ly high-spec modern house positioned right on the water’s edge next to the picturesqu­e harbour, which provides direct water access and some of the best views the area has to offer. The property also has several outbuildin­gs, including an integral garage/boat store/workshop with bespoke workstatio­n, and internal access to a home gym.

Bydand is a substantia­l property with accommodat­ion over two levels. With back and front decks/terrace, the ground floor houses an entrance with cloakroom and utility, spacious open-plan living/dining/ kitchen (with terrace access), separate sitting room, principal bedroom with dressing room and upgraded en suite bathroom (bath, walkin wet room and underfloor heating) – both this room and the sitting room have external access to a sea-facing balcony – and two further bedrooms, both of which have an en suite shower room and fitted storage.

Downstairs on the lower ground level is a 26ft living room open plan to a reading/ chill-out space with log-burning stove. There is an adjoining office/study (with access to the front garden), fourth bedroom suite (dressing room and en suite shower room), while the deck has an internal access door into the garage/boat store and adjoining gym.

Notable features include a recently upgraded Wren kitchen with central island/breakfast bar, integrated appliances, coffee station with refreshmen­ts fridge, sliding doors to a rear deck – and a door to the front raised patio and sea views.

Bydand’s front and rear gardens are designed for ease of maintenanc­e and are mainly gravel flanked by lawn and fruit trees with uninterrup­ted water views. The front gardens are bounded by an exposed stone wall and wooden fence with private gated access via a stone staircase to the beachfront and water.

Just a mile from other amenities in Tighnabrua­ich, Kames village has a hotel, post office, shop, and regular bus service to both Rothesay (on the Isle of Bute) and Dunoon, while nearby Portavadie Marine (three miles) offers a state-of-the-art marina/ chandlery, restaurant, accommodat­ion, and spa facilities. Offers over £575,000 to Robb Residentia­l in Glasgow.
