From the owner

Springvale is a very spacious detached Victorian farmhouse which was built circa 1850 and extended just before the Second World War. It forms part of an intimate hamlet of just twelve properties situated on the fringe of the conservation village of Cardross, in Argyll and Bute within comfortable walking distance of the local train station and golf club. a two minute walk to the sea shore (Firth of Clyde) and 10 mins by car to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

The house is approached from the back where there is plenty of car parking space. The well-kept garden wraps around the eastern side of the house and faces south at the front, where there is an extensive and level lawn bordered by fruit trees and shrubs, and a Summer House.

Internally the house offers spacious family accommodation of two large public rooms, a superb 26 foot dining kitchen with Aga cooker and pine farmhouse style units and a large double glazed conservatory. Also downstairs is a double bedroom suitable for grandparents, a shower room, toilet and laundry room. Upstairs there are two king ensuite bedrooms, one double bedrooms, two twin bedrooms and bathroom and toilet. The bathrooms are all Edwardian style. Downstairs is all on the level. There is a restored WW2 air raid bunker hidden the the garden, below the newly constructed summer house.

Springvale's garden has an ice cave (c.1850) and an WW2 bunker (c. 1939 both renovated).
