WITH eight bedrooms, an indoor hot tub and a stunning Clive Christian kitchen, the latest addition to the Helensburgh area's property market definitely deserves the description "something special".
Built around 1840, Duneira, on Pier Road in Rhu, has five public rooms and plenty of space over its three floors.
The home is situated in well-tended private gardens and is has been put on the market for offers over £835,000.
The front door leads to an entrance vestibule which leads into a reception hall with floor tiling, overhead cornicework, and a spiral staircase leading to the first-floor landing.
The hallway gives access to the large lounge which features a bay window, fire surround, herringbone style flooring, and space for furniture.
Across the hall is games/family room which contains fire surrounds, stripped hardwood flooring, and front facing double glazed windows.
From here there is a door leading into the conservatory which currently features a large hot tub.
A colourful office room can be accessed from the hallway and from the family room.
Opposite to the office is a laundry room which leads to a small w/c.
The rear hallway gives access to the dining room as well as to the dual level kitchen.
The kitchen has many floor and wall units, extensive worktop surfaces, an inset stove, a central preparation island, hardwood flooring, and a raised dining area.
Moving back to the front hallway, a staircase leads up onto the upper landing which provides access to the family bathroom and five double bedrooms.
Three of the bedrooms have ensuite facilities while two are front facing rooms offering views of over the property's front lawns out to Rhu Marina and the Clyde Estuary waters.
A small staircase on the first-floor landing ascends to the attic level where there are three more bedrooms - one of which has an ensuite shower room - and eaves storage.
The gardens are entered through iron gates which open to a chipped driveway leading round both sides of the south facing front lawn.
The landscaped garden grounds feature high trees, borders, shrubs, and hedging and are enclosed by stone walls.
Additional parking is found at the side of the home and there is also a large single garage which houses the boilers for the central heating system and has power and light installed.
To the rear of the property is a flat lawned space which can be used for entertaining and boasts views down to the water.
Estate agents Slater Hogg and Howison said: “Dating back to around 1840, 'Duneira' is an imposing detached residence set majestically within well-tended and successfully landscaped garden grounds, which are enclosed all round with the property itself set well back, through imposing gates, off the main Shore Road.
“The property is offered to the market with a rich local history, and interesting and diverse stories abound.
“Over recent years, the property has been utilised as a thriving letting concern, although with such a versatile layout Duneira is also ideal for those with extended family or indeed, those perhaps wishing to work from home with space for staff, and a flexible configuration available throughout the generously proportioned accommodation to be found on offer.
“Early viewing is strongly recommended of this fabulous and imposing detached family home.”
