For Sale: One of Scotland’s ‘most magnificent period homes’ near Glasgow hits market for nearly £2 million

A PROPERTY described as one of the Scotland’s ‘most magnificent period homes’ has hit the market for £1.75 million.

The five-bedroom Grade B-listed property, built in 1913, is located in the picturesque village of Kilmacolm, and has been hailed as an example of the ‘finest’ in conservation architecture.

Greystones, designed in a late Arts & Crafts style by architect J. Austen Laird, was extensively renovated in 2014 and recently underwent a meticulous redecoration throughout with modern finishes paired with gothic-inspired original features.

The property boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms, one of which is a semi-self-contained suite featuring a flexible games or cinema room with its exposed beams and a fully appointed kitchenette. The property also boasts stunning views over The Knapp’s Dam beauty spot. Gordon McGuire of Corum Property said: “Greystones is a breathtaking home, it really is something truly special.

“This is a home that has been loved, adored and brought to life by the current owners - it’s full of character.”

“The owner worked closely with Anna Campbell-Jones on the interior design, and the outcome is spectacular. The original features blend beautifully with pops of colour, exquisite craftsmanship and a layout that flows wonderfully.”

“Greystones presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable note in the picturesque village of Kilmacolm, one of the most coveted addresses in Scotland.”

An impressive kitchen opens onto an expansive terrace running the length of the house – a perfect outdoor private entertaining space with a selection of outdoor sofas and seating – whilst a beautiful informal dining area also offers spectacular views towards the Knapp loch, as does a Mozolowski and Murray conservatory. 

A connecting hallway leads to an elegant formal dining room with bespoke bird’s eye maple wood fire surround, and a continuation of the oak herringbone floor from the kitchen and family room.

There is a further catering kitchen and utility area, complimenting the ground floor’s design. From here there is access to the courtyard and multiple out-houses, ideal for storage and gardening equipment. Greystones is tech enabled with a privately leased fibre line directly to the house. The full home coverage ensures connectivity with speeds supporting streaming and remote work, a Sonos home system offering an immersive experience throughout the home.

A Control4 Home Controller forms a network of security with the inclusion of fully weatherproof cameras surrounding the perimeter.
