Tucked away in the charming village of Balmaha on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond, Lismore is a beautifully modernised chalet-style home dating back to circa 1960. A gated entrance opens onto a generous chipped driveway, offering ample parking and turning space. The striking anthracite grey cladding immediately sets the tone for the home’s contemporary yet welcoming aesthetic.
Stepping inside, a spacious entrance porch provides the perfect spot to kick off muddy boots after exploring the surrounding countryside. A stylish grey composite front door leads the way, while luxurious LVT flooring, laid in an elegant chevron pattern, guides you through the home. To the left, a comfortable double bedroom enjoys the benefit of a large walk-in storage area and en-suite access to the main bathroom. Designed for both relaxation and functionality, the bathroom features a deep P-shaped jacuzzi bath, complemented by textured grey tiling, a sleek vanity unit, and a heated towel rail.
The heart of the home unfolds into a stunning L-shaped, open-plan lounge and dining area, where natural light pours in through patio doors. The lounge offers a cosy retreat with a wood-burning stove nestled beneath an oak mantle, while the patio doors open onto a charming composite decked area—an ideal vantage point for watching children play on the astro-turfed front lawn. To the rear, glazed oak bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the space to a newly installed conservatory, where bi-fold doors along two exterior walls blur the lines between indoors and out, offering glimpses of the iconic Loch Lomond.
The stylish and well-appointed kitchen is accessed from the dining area, featuring a sophisticated mix of deep grey wall and base units, pristine white quartz worktops, and a central island housing an induction hob with space for casual seating. Integrated appliances, including a fridge-freezer, double oven, and dishwasher, ensure effortless functionality, while two large storage cupboards provide ample space for household essentials. A large picture window frames breathtaking garden views, and a glazed door opens onto a composite decked area—an idyllic spot for morning coffee as the sun rises over the landscape.
Upstairs, three further double bedrooms await, each bathed in natural light from charming dormer windows. Two of these bedrooms boast contemporary en-suite shower rooms, elegantly designed with matte black fixtures and stylish glazed brick-style tiling. Throughout the home, modern oak doors and crisp white shutters add to the refined finish.
Surrounding Lismore, the mature gardens offer an oasis of tranquillity. The front lawn, complete with a seating area, provides a picturesque setting to relax, while to the rear, a composite deck with a sleek glass balustrade presents a perfect vantage point to take in the breathtaking views towards Loch Lomond. A privacy hedge encircles the property, ensuring a sense of seclusion, while a neatly tucked-away shed offers practical outdoor storage.
