Howlin was originally constructed around 60 years ago and sits in magnificent and extensive mature woodland gardens in a very quiet sheltered and tranquil spot. The original house was a split level bungalow and over the years has been extended to the side and rear, with the current owners having transformed the property over the past year into a contemporary and striking detached family home. Painted in a bold, all black colour that stands out amidst the greenery of the gardens, the property makes a real statement. Its dramatic transformation into a contemporary, stylish and unique family home really breaks the norm and Howlin offers something that is not available anywhere else in the area. The spacious living accommodation of the property is in the central part of the house with the bedrooms on either side. On entering, a large, welcoming reception hall leads into a good sized dining room which is divided from the lounge by a few steps and an open display unit. The stunning lounge has a box bay window with beautiful wooded outlooks, a Jøtel multifuel burning stove next to a feature stone wall and with adjacent display shelving. Next to the dining room is a beautifully refitted, bespoke, high end kitchen that comes with a central island unit, extensive built in units complemented by work surfaces and with a range of integrated appliances installed including a wine fridge. The kitchen is further enhanced by stylish modern lighting. Off the kitchen is a utility room with plumbing for washing machine/dryer. From the kitchen there are views of the back gardens and a door leads out to the grounds.

To one side of the main reception hall there is a cloakroom designed and created to a high standard and newly fitted wc and vanity wash hand basin. There is also a large downstairs bedroom. A staircase with a central modern chandelier light fitting ascends to an upper landing which then leads to two further bedrooms on the upper floor. One of the rooms would make a perfect home office and it has a box bay window taking in the stunning views over the gardens with seasonal views of the Loch. There is a new shower room serving the two bedrooms and it comes complete with high end sanitary ware, beautiful full height tiling and with a walk-in feature shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin, wc and heated towel rail. The additional bedrooms in the house can be reached by an internal hallway from the lounge. There is an airing cupboard and large walk-in cupboard in the hall. The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and enjoys its own ensuite shower room. There is a shower enclosure, wc and vanity wash hand basin, with beautiful tiling and wall coverings complimenting the suite. The second bedroom off the hall is a double room, again with built-in wardrobes and adjacent to it there is a family bathroom with timber panelled dado, attractive wall coverings and with a bath, vanity wash hand basin and wc. New central heating has been installed in the property and it comes with full double glazing. Some notable features in the house include new timber floors, tiled floors and carpeting throughout, new timber internal doors with black handles, black radiators and modern lighting.

There are extensive garden grounds surrounding the property. The grounds feature mature trees and a number of attractive planted areas around the house with a paved patio. Whilst there is no planning permission in place, the gardens offer great potential for further development to the south of the house (subject to planning permission being granted). There is a gravelled driveway winding its way up to the house and a large parking area in front of the double garage/workshop/wood store. Boundaries feature stone walls and concrete post and wire fencing. Beneath the property, there is a wine cellar with storage area.

Located in Station Road, which is a quiet almost traffic free part of Shandon and home to just a handful of distinctive and individually designed properties, Howlin is within easy reach of some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery which is just a few minutes’ drive away. The nearby villages of Shandon and Rhu are just a short drive also and provide local amenities, with the larger town of Helensburgh accessible in around fifteen minutes. Helensburgh provides a wide selection of shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes and there is good schooling in the area with a highly regarded primary school in Rhu and with primary and secondary schooling in Helensburgh (including the private Lomond School). The location is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors, with excellent club sailing and mooring facilities nearby, and Loch Lomond offering world class leisure and accommodation facilities. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance, as is the international airport. EPC Band - F.
