RENOWNED as one of the West of Scotland’s enduringly popular holiday hotspots, Tighnabruaich’s proximity to the famous Kyles of Bute has become increasing popular as a work-from-home lifestyle location in recent years.
One newcomer to the block in the neighbouring village of Kames is Bydand, a particularly high-spec modern house positioned right on the water’s edge next to the picturesque harbour, which provides direct water access and some of the best views the area has to offer.
The property also has several outbuildings, including an integral garage/boat store/workshop with bespoke workstation, and internal access to a home gym.
Bydand is a substantial property with accommodation over two levels. With back and front decks/terrace, the ground floor houses an entrance with cloakroom and utility, spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen (with terrace access), separate sitting room, principal bedroom with dressing room and upgraded en suite bathroom (bath, walk-in wet room and underfloor heating) – both this room and the sitting room have external access to a sea-facing balcony – and two further bedrooms, both of which have an en suite shower room and fitted storage.

Downstairs on the lower ground level is a 26ft living room open plan to a reading/chill-out space with log-burning stove. There is an adjoining office/study (with access to the front garden), fourth bedroom suite (dressing room and en suite shower room), while the deck has an internal access door into the garage/boat store and adjoining gym.
Notable features include a recently upgraded Wren kitchen with central island/breakfast bar, integrated appliances, coffee station with refreshments fridge, sliding doors to a rear deck – and a door to the front raised patio and sea views.

Bydand’s front and rear gardens are designed for ease of maintenance and are mainly gravel flanked by lawn and fruit trees with uninterrupted water views. The front gardens are bounded by an exposed stone wall and wooden fence with private gated access via a stone staircase to the beachfront and water.
Just a mile from other amenities in Tighnabruaich, Kames village has a hotel, post office, shop, and regular bus service to both Rothesay (on the Isle of Bute) and Dunoon, while nearby Portavadie Marine (three miles) offers a state-of-the-art marina/chandlery, restaurant, accommodation, and spa facilities.
Offers over £575,000 to Robb Residential in Glasgow.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
