“Ardmolach” is a striking and highly individual modern family home that commands an elevated position, with fantastic views over the waters of the Gareloch. The house is constructed over three floors, clad in timber boarding, with many distinctive features that include a wrap around decked balcony on the first floor (including a covered terraced area to the side with a wood fired hot tub included), a decked sun terrace (with planted beds) on the second floor, an integral garage and a pitched sedum roof.

The house is surrounded by mature garden grounds that have a long tarmacadam driveway (with stone retaining walls) leading up to the front of the house where there is space to park and access to the garage. To the side of the driveway is a lawned area that extends to the rear and on the other side of the house there are further driveway and parking areas as well as a slabbed patio in the far corner. There is access from here to the side door of the house.

On entering the house on the ground floor, a long reception hall gives access to the integral garage (with power and light), a plant/boiler room with adjoining large store room and a deep cloaks cupboard at the far end. A staircase from the hall leads up to the first floor landing which is floored with beautiful Tiger wood. To the front of the house is the main lounge with its full height windows and patio doors leading out to the balcony and taking in views over the water. The Tiger wood flooring continues through the lounge and there is a modern wood burning stove in one corner. The lounge is laid out semi open plan with the dining area and from here there is access to a modern kitchen at the rear. The kitchen comes with wall mounted and counter level units, it has a built-in cooker, hob, dishwasher and fridge and there is a pantry cupboard off. A door to the side of the house leads out to a covered decked terrace that is home to a wood fired hot tub.
There are three good sized double bedrooms on this level and the master bedroom is to the front of the house with water views and with access through French doors out to the balcony. The room has built-in wardrobes and there is an ensuite shower room off, with a large walk-in shower, wc and wash basin. The second bedroom is a double room, again to the front of the house and the third double bedroom is to the rear. Finally on this floor is a large, contemporary, fully tiled family bathroom with a separate bath, walk-in shower, vanity wash basin and wc. A further open staircase from the first floor landing leads up to the simply stunning second floor accommodation. Currently used as a large open plan family/party room, this exceptional space could easily be an additional bedroom suite as it has a shower room with wc and wash basin. The room enjoys full height windows and French doors leading out to a large decked roof terrace to the front and side of the house which affords amazing views over the Gareloch. This outdoor area is great for entertaining and also features bedded areas adjacent to the sitting areas.
