Doonpark was built around sixty years ago and is a substantial detached family home of over 1500 square feet, formed over two floors and sitting in mature, private and enclosed gardens in one of Rhu’s foremost addresses.

The house provides great family accommodation, with many traditional original features throughout the property and with the layout being most versatile. The ground floor consists of a large and welcoming entrance vestibule, which then opens into the main reception hall. The hall features a contemporary staircase (with glass balustrade) to the upper landing. From the hall, there is access on one side to a large, well-proportioned, and bright formal lounge. This room features original American oak timber flooring that extends through much of the downstairs. There is a large picture window to the front with lovely views over the water and an additional side window providing even more natural light. To the focal point, there is a feature fire surround with hand built original stone fireplace with long beautiful black slate hearth and display shelving. On the other side of the reception hall and to the front of the house, there is a downstairs double bedroom, which has windows to the front and side overlooking the garden and built-in wardrobe space. Moving from the bedroom is a large formal dining room with two windows overlooking the garden to the side of the property. There are two separate accesses off the reception hall into this room, one of which is opposite the large dining-sized kitchen at the rear of the house. The dining kitchen again enjoys great natural light with windows to the side and rear. A door leads out from the kitchen to a separate utility porch that accesses the back garden. The kitchen has a double oven, hob, dishwasher, and fridge. Also on the ground floor is a family-sized shower room with a walk-in shower. Finally, there is a full basement with power and light laid on. This could be utilised as a workshop/storage area, or with further development, this could be a potential additional living space.

Moving on to the upstairs accommodation, the landing has good built-in storage and gives access to two further double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys fantastic views down Torwoodhill Road and over the waters of the Gare Loch and has a double built-in wardrobe. The second double bedroom has built-in storage/wardrobe cupboards at either end and has side-facing windows with partial views over the water. There is a further open plan room off the landing, which can be used as a study or easily converted into a full bedroom, with views overlooking the Gare Loch and garden. Adjacent to this is a fully tiled shower room with shower enclosure, WC and vanity wash hand basin.

The gardens are a notable feature of the house and, as mentioned, are completely enclosed, safe for children to play in, and great for entertaining. On entering from the road, a driveway area can provide parking for two large cars and gives access to a large single garage in front of the house with benched workshop space, light, power, etc. To the side of the driveway, there are bedded and gravelled areas and a lawn with hedging at the rear of the house. A pathway leads from the drive to the front door and around to the back of the property. The gardens to the front again feature lawns, shrubs, trees, bushes and bedded areas and on the other side of the property, enclosed by brick walls and timber fencing, is a large lawned area with an open aspect and once again great for entertaining.

Tucked away off Torwoodhill Road, the property enjoys a fantastic setting, only a short distance from the centre of Rhu, where there is a local convenience store, post office, very well-regarded primary school and church, along with a newly refurbished pub and a popular marina for those who enjoy the water. The larger town of Helensburgh is just a few minute's drive away, and it provides a wider selection of amenities that include shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes, together with banks and a post office. There are railway stations in Helensburgh that provide services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even a sleeper service to London. There is excellent schooling in the area, with the already mentioned Rhu primary school within walking distance. There are primary and secondary schools in Helensburgh, with Hermitage Academy being a state school and with private education at Lomond School. The area is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor life with beautiful scenery on one’s doorstep, along with many social and sports clubs nearby, including great sailing on the Firth of Clyde and the Gare Loch. The Royal Navy base at Faslane is a major employer in the area and only a short distance away. Glasgow can be reached by car in around forty five minutes and the international airport is easily accessible via the Erskine Bridge. Loch Lomond and its iconic shores are only a short distance away and provide world class leisure facilities and accommodation. EPC Band - D.
