Our latest Property of the Week – Rowmore House in Garelochhead – is a traditional 1920s country home brimming with character and charm.
Set amongst extensive gardens, this magnificent property offers complete privacy and seclusion, with its elevated position affording magnificent views over the surrounding Garelochhead landscape.
With five double bedrooms, it would be a wonderful home for a larger family and is on the market for offers over £469,000.
Rowmore House is spread over three floors. The main accommodation is on the ground and first floors and there is a substantial basement area that could be developed into additional living space.
On the ground level, an entrance vestibule opens out onto a grand reception hallway with a handy cloakroom – ideal for hanging up outdoor clothing and boots after a day exploring nearby Loch Lomond, Loch Long or Loch Goil.
Across the hall lies a lovingly maintained lounge, which includes period features such as high ceilings and a classic hearth. French doors bathe the room in natural light and lead onto a south-facing lawn.
Head next door and you will find a second, more casual, family room that is a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day. Like the formal lounge, this room will not disappoint those who seek an outdoor lifestyle, with a door providing access to the gardens.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream and has a recess for a range cooker and extensive worktop space, including a breakfast island. It has a country-style design with distinctive terracotta tiled flooring and modern cream units.
Just off the kitchen is a large utility room and pantry, which opens out to a formal dining room.
The standout features of the dining room are arguably the charming timber fire surround and open fire and the adjoining sun room – a delightful space to engage in hobbies like painting, writing or drawing.
At the far end of the hall are two double bedrooms. The larger of the these boasts an ensuite shower room, while the other has a magnificent bay window and adjacent wc as well as another bathroom nearby.
Make your way up the half turn staircase and there there is a lovely open plan living area from which three bedrooms flow.
A superb master bedroom has breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside. In addition to its own ensuite shower room, it has a luxurious walk-in wardrobe to where you can display and organise your clothing and jewellery collection.
There are two additional double rooms and a laundry room.
