Truly stunning five bedroom detached villa with panoramic views over the Clyde. High spec immaculate finish throughout.
Ashwood occupies an elevated position, sited specifically to command magnicent open aspects over the Firth of Clyde and beyond to the Isles of Bute and Arran. Development first began in Kilcreggan in 1840 when the use of steamers on the Clyde made it more accessible. The first houses were used only as summerhouses, but as time went on, permanent occupation took place. As roads and vehicles developed, steamer traffic declined, and one by one, the piers closed. Today, Kilcreggan Pier remains the only traditional pier on the Clyde still in daily use. It has a rich architectural heritage of Victorian mansions and castles. Famous architects such as Alexander “Greek” Thomson, William Leiper and John Honeyman were among many to build impressive homes for wealthy clients. Today, many such homes remain, with villagers commuting to Glasgow in around an hour, either by road, or by ferry, with a journey time of around fifteen minutes to Gourock. Glasgow Airport can be reached in around forty-five minutes under normal driving conditions. Kilcreggan has its own primary school, with the local secondary school at Helensburgh, the nearest town (sixteen miles), where Lomond School also provides excellent private schooling at primary and secondary level. Helensburgh is regarded as one of Scotland’s most desirable towns, with excellent local shopping, a swimming pool and golf course and Rhu Marina is also nearby.

This village developed on the north shore of the of the Firth of Clyde at a time when Clyde steamers brought it within easy reach of Glasgow. Many Glasgow shipowners and merchants made their summer retreats or even permanent residences there. The majority of the houses look south across the Clyde towards the towns of Gourock and Greenock, and further down the firth towards the Isle of Arran. Kilcreggan is in the historic county of Dunbartonshire. Kilcreggan Pier was opened in 1850 and was described as a substantial pier with commodious waiting rooms and other conveniences. It’s the oldest surviving wooden pier on the Clyde and still has the original signal discs dating from 1888 which regulated the order of steamers racing for the pier. In its heyday up to 39 ferries a day would call here.
