NEW TO MARKET

AGEORGIAN country house with a waterfront setting sounds like an idyllic pairing, which indeed it is. In the case of Ashfield House, a detached property set in mature garden grounds within the village of Arrochar – a location that provides open aspects to Loch Long and numerous hills collectively known as the ‘Arrochar Alps’.

Better still, this beautiful period home has been extended, carefully restored, and includes a former two-storey coach house in the grounds currently utilised as a store and gym but with potential for many other uses. There is also an additional piece of land fronting the loch across the road, which has lapsed planning permission for a one-and-ahalf-storey house with shore access.

Extended and designed to maximise natural light and space, the accommodation spans more than 2,800 sq ft over two levels and although now a family home, in the past it has been a boutique-style B&B.

Interior highlights include a welcoming reception hall leading to an impressive dual aspect 24ft drawing room with open fireplace and views framed by full-height windows. Across the hall is a wood-floored sitting room – wood flooring continues into the adjoining fitted kitchen – also a formal dining room, home office/study overlooking the garden, and two cloakrooms.

Upstairs (a choice of two staircases for ease of access), is the main bathroom and five bedrooms, three of which have an en suite shower room.

Complementing this beautiful country house are mature garden grounds providing expansive lawns, trees, shrubs, and a gazebo. The setting and location are exceptional, as is the dual lifestyle on offer.

Arrochar is home to numerous Munros
