SPACIOUS, DETACHED VICTORIAN VILLA IN COASTAL VILLAGE LOCATION.
A substantial and elegant Category C listed country house set within the highly regarded Rosneath Peninsula, believed to have been built by James Dempster for the Church of Scotland as the manse for St. Modan’s Church.
Easter Garth is an impressive and generously proportioned detached home, quietly positioned within the charming hamlet of The Clachan on the Rosneath peninsula.
Extending to approximately 4250 sq ft with additional outbuildings, the property offers exceptional flexibility, making it ideal for family living, entertaining and home working.
The accommodation is traditionally arranged over three floors, providing well-balanced living and bedroom space, and begins on the ground floor with a welcoming hall and vestibule, leading to several versatile reception rooms. These include a formal drawing room with large bay window, fireplace with log burning stove and wood flooring; a combined sitting/dining room, again with bay window and fireplace; a comfortable lounge; and a conservatory, currently used as an alternative dining option, each offering excellent space and natural light. The kitchen is well proportioned and has a good range of units, freestanding island and range cooker, supported by a pantry, utility/laundry room and adjoining WC, while a dedicated office provides an ideal home working environment.
The upper floors offer an abundance of bedroom accommodation, comprising seven well-sized double bedrooms, five of which benefit from en suite shower rooms; there is also a substantial family bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower. Five of the bedrooms sit on the first floor, while a further two are located on the upper level where there is also a kitchenette and valuable additional storage space in the eaves.
Easter Garth is complemented by attractive surrounding gardens which provide a peaceful setting for the house and enjoy a pleasant aspect. A driveway leads to the front of the house with parking for several cars. There are areas of lawn, ideal for recreation, together with space well suited to seating and dining in the warmer months.
The grounds also benefit from a selection of useful outbuildings, offering excellent storage and further flexibility for hobbies or workshop use.
Easter Garth is currently operated as a successful trading guest house, offering flexible accommodation that may appeal to those seeking an established lifestyle or business opportunity.
