Property description
Occupying a landmark waterfront position on Gourock's prestigious Cloch Road, this exceptional Grade C Listed former Toll House has been beautifully transformed into a stunning family home, and is available to let through Bowman Rebecchi - The Home of Property.
Offering an extraordinary combination of heritage, contemporary comfort and one of the finest waterfront outlooks on Scotland's west coast, this exceptional former Toll House presents a unique opportunity to enjoy a truly distinctive lifestyle in the heart of Gourock.
Rarely does a home of such historical significance become available to the rental market, and as such, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the calibre and setting of this superb property.
AN ICONIC WATERFRONT RESIDENCE WITH UNRIVALLED RIVER CLYDE VIEWS
Steeped in history and occupying one of Gourock's most iconic waterfront positions, the former Toll House at 1 Cloch Road is a truly exceptional Grade C Listed residence that has been sympathetically transformed into a magnificent detached home. Beautifully combining two former cottages into one substantial property, this remarkable home effortlessly blends timeless character with contemporary living, all framed by unrivalled panoramic views across the River Clyde.
From the moment you arrive, the property's unique heritage and commanding setting create an immediate impression. Internally, extensive modernisation has been carefully undertaken to preserve the home's period charm while delivering the comfort and practicality expected of modern family living.
The magnificent lounge is undoubtedly the centrepiece of the home, where triple full-height bay windows flood the room with natural light while perfectly framing breathtaking, ever-changing views across the River Clyde. An ornate feature fireplace provides a striking focal point, creating an elegant yet welcoming living space.
The spacious, fully fitted kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering generous workspace and storage alongside a dedicated dining area. Sliding patio doors seamlessly connect the interior with the beautifully landscaped rear gardens, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
A wide natural hallway retains the property's historic character, complemented by an impressive feature grandfather clock and a practical utility room. A charming connecting corridor leads to the bedroom accommodation, where the principal bedroom enjoys an outstanding feature window perfectly positioned to capture postcard-worthy waterfront views. The second double bedroom is equally generous in size and versatility.
The luxurious fully tiled bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard and comprises a large walk-in shower enclosure, contemporary vanity unit and WC, creating a stylish and relaxing space.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The landscaped rear gardens feature an attractive gabion basket retaining wall, creating multiple seating areas to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. To the front, further outdoor seating provides another opportunity to appreciate the spectacular coastal setting, while a practical garden shed offers valuable additional storage.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this outstanding home is the elevated rear veranda, ingeniously built into the natural rock face. Finished with a contemporary glass balustrade, this spectacular entertaining terrace delivers simply jaw-dropping panoramic views over the River Clyde, providing an unforgettable setting for outdoor dining, relaxing or watching the ever-changing marine activity.
The property is further enhanced by a private driveway providing convenient off-street parking.
