Property Description:

This distinguished ten-bedroom property, listed for its historical significance, occupies a 0.42-acre site and offers over 4,000 square feet of living space, providing uninterrupted views of the Firth of Clyde along with the surrounding hills and countryside. Originally constructed for the Lipton family, the residence is beautifully adorned, exuding a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The interior features numerous ornate elements, particularly in the stairwell and cupola, complemented by high-quality timber and plaster craftsmanship. The property dates back to approximately 1865/70, making it a truly remarkable stately home situated in Dunoon, the principal resort of the picturesque Cowal Peninsula and the maritime gateway to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

The Holy Loch is approximately a 3 minute drive away and the Dunoon Village is nearby. The Benmore Botanic Gardens are within a 12 minute drive, being a popular tourist attraction, as well as Glasgow being an easy commute via a ferry and then a short drive.

Formally being a grand residential property for Sir Thomas Lipton, and then previously trading as a boutique hotel this property offers potential for a variety of uses, including luxury flats, wedding venue, residential and a care home to name a few. (subject to necessary planning consents)
