A simply charming detached property of generous proportion that has, over the decades, been significantly extended and redesigned to create a traditionally styled home that seamlessly meets with the demands of modern living. Set upon a large garden plot to the northerly side of Drymen and with a notably private setting that belies its attractive proximity to the amenities of the Village.
The property was originally constructed c.1856 for the Duke of Montrose as a ‘school of industry’ and was converted for residential use in the 1950’s. A double storey extension was added to the easterly gable in the 1990’s. What now stands is a home formed of seven generous apartments (four bedrooms, three large public rooms), with a generous floor space of c. 2,062 ft² - corners and retreats for all the family. A lovely marriage of period allure and contemporary spaces/finishes.
