FULL DESCRIPTION:
Stewart Balfour And Sutherland are delighted to bring to the market Inverneill House: a stunning example of Victorian architecture once owned by the Campbells of Inverneill. This substantial country house sits amidst grounds of approximately 6.5 acres which includes a most picturesque walled garden ( approx. 2.5 acres) ornamented with two castellated corner turrets overlooking Loch Fyne and the Cowal hills beyond and whilst the main house has the benefit of not being a listed building, the walled garden is category B listed, a gentle nod to the historic importance of this ensemble.
This historic country home has been comprehensively refurbished by the present owners to now offer all the trappings other easily managed stately homes have whilst enjoying the benefits of modern comforts such as efficient central heating system, modern double glazing and insulation provided throughout. The property provides a wealth of opportunities for the next owner. Not only is the property impressive its own right but it also has the added benefit of the large former coach house and stables that are located to the rear of the property which enjoy a beautiful outlook over the ornamental pond. The walled gardens are something to behold with the castellated turret rooms on either side adding both a huge amount of appeal but possibly could be utilised as unique glamping pods in the future. Currently one has been in use as a bar complete with log burning stove, the other one as an artist studio. The property also benefits from having a 18th century icehouse located within the grounds and an original haha, two very unique features.
Inverneill House offers fantastically arranged accommodation over three levels and this briefly comprises of an entrance hall/boot room which leads through an attractive stone archway into the large reception staircase from where access is provided to both the front facing drawing room which enjoys great views over the walled gardens and also benefits from a large multi fuel stove, and refurbished solid wood flooring. On this level there is also a large dining room/family room again similar to the drawing room and all other principle rooms boast a multifuel fire. There is also a beautifully appointed kitchen with solid granite work surfaces which in turn leads through to a utility area and downstairs shower room with WC. A spacious sunroom which overlooks the pond and Coach house to the rear completes the ground floor accommodation.
A beautiful staircase rises to the first floor level where the master bedroom can be found along with a further large double bedroom and the family bathroom and stairs then rise further to the second floor where the views can be fully appreciated from the large family room. A further double bedroom is also located on this level.
The coach house now provides the new purchaser their own opportunities to create either additional accommodation for family or income generation or somebody may wish to reinstate the stables as the gardens are large enough for horses. The coach house itself is made up of several different compartments. On the ground floor there is the coach house then there is a central utility area/summer kitchen and then there is the stables. A timber staircase rises to the first floor level of the coach house where two large rooms can be found. And with some creative direction this whole building could be transformed into something very special.
As previously indicated it cannot be understated the level of work the present owners have undertaken to retain as many period features as possible within the property while bringing it up to modern standards. The main house, coach house and the two castellated turrets have all been re-roofed and the walled gardens extensively landscaped to its original design with the introduction of many authentic varieties of an espalier fruit trees which are trained around the walls. Beyond the walled gardens the grounds boast some spectacular specimen Rhododendrons and large trees.
