Holly Robin Lodge commands a partially elevated position and affords wonderful westerly views over Loch Fyne towards the famous coastal village of Inveraray and it‘s magnificent castle (the seat of the Duke of Argyll).

Forming part of the picturesque village of St. Catherine‘s which stretches along the south-eastern shore of Loch Fyne (and which offers a mix of modern and traditional residences) Holly Robin Lodge is a unique, versatile and particularly impressive family home.

Offering buyers the prospect of working from home and generating a secondary income from holiday letting, Holly Robin Lodge features a substantial, heated, indoor swimming pool.

Considerable time, expense and effort have been committed to the transformation of this pre-possessing family home which incorporates a self contained and highly lettable attached cottage.

The house offers potential purchasers the opportunity of letting the principle part of the house with its attached swimming pool or the self contained cottage / annex and provides wonderful views over the loch (and Inveraray Castle) from all of its public rooms, pool room and three of the bedrooms.

The local area is a well known holiday destination with its wealth of natural trails and caters for a number of outdoor pursuits.

Suited to buyers requiring a granny annex, Holly Robin Lodge backs directly onto mature woodland. The owners and guests are able to witness, at close quarters, a wide variety of wild-life including Red and Roe deer, Pine Martens, red squirrels and a numerous species of birds (with over thirty species chronicled).

Set within two thirds of an acre of mature, professionally landscaped gardens (which incorporate ornamental ponds), Holly Robin Lodge comprises: entrance vestibule, broad welcoming reception hall, impressive bay windowed lounge with 11 kilowatt multi-fuel burning stove, bay windowed dining room (both rooms affording fabulous loch views), conservatory/garden room, 3 double bedrooms, newly fitted kitchen with island breakfast bar, utility room (with integral wc), changing /shower room and a superb pool room with heated swimming pool and French doors and windows providing great views of the loch. The lettable cottage /granny annex offers a substantial sitting /dining room with 8 kilowatt multi-fuel burning stove, 2 upstairs double bedrooms, kitchen, refitted shower room and downstairs toilet with two piece suite.

The property has been greatly enhanced by the installation of an expensive biomass central heating system. This has enabled the vendors to enjoy significantly reduced heating bills and will derive generous rebates under the renewable heat incentive for the next five years or so. The annual RHI rebate / payment to the owners is £5,384 at the current rate. The vendors or our agency will be able to explain the benefits of this incentive to prospective buyers.

Holly Robin Lodge is complemented by double glazing and the timber outhouse incorporates the biomass boiler.

Situated within southern Argyll, St. Catherines is surrounded by spectacular scenery and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village of Strachur, some 4 miles to the south, provides a children‘s nursery, a primary school (secondary education is provided at Dunoon Grammer School), a post office and cafe, a retail service station, a medical centre with attached pharmacy, The Creggans Inn / hotel, together with a thriving community centre.
