Extending to approximately 4,542 sq ft, the house provides substantial and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, Abbots Brae combines period elegance with modern comforts while retaining a wealth of original features.

A canopy porch leads into a traditional vestibule and reception hall, where a beautifully crafted staircase rises through the centre of the house beneath an impressive original stained-glass window. To the front, the elegant sitting room enjoys a large bay window overlooking the grounds, together with decorative cornicing, a ceiling rose and an attractive wood-burning stove. Opposite, the formal dining room enjoys similar proportions and stunning views towards the Firth of Clyde, providing an excellent space for entertaining.

A spacious study offers ideal home-working accommodation and benefits from an adjoining shower room and WC. To the rear of the house, the commercial-style kitchen is designed with practicality in mind and is complemented by a walk-in pantry, utility area and extensive adjoining stores.

The principal staircase rises to the first floor where the magnificent drawing room forms the centrepiece of the house. Originally designed as a ballroom, this impressive reception room extends to almost 30 feet in length and is filled with natural light from large bay windows framing views across the Clyde. The room also benefits from access to a balcony, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning outlook across the gardens and the Firth of Clyde beyond. Also on this floor are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from en suite shower rooms, together with a family bathroom.

The second floor provides four further double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities, creating flexible accommodation for family and guests.

Recent improvements include sympathetically designed double-glazed sash windows and a comprehensive roof refurbishment completed in 2023.

Cottage
Situated within the grounds is a charming detached cottage extending to approximately 1,008 sq ft. Ideal for guests, multi-generational living or holiday letting, the accommodation comprises a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, two double bedrooms, a shower room and a separate office.

Gardens and Grounds
Abbots Brae sits within approximately two acres of mature grounds, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. The gardens have a distinctly woodland character, with mature specimen trees, rhododendrons, winding pathways and open glades providing interest throughout the seasons.

A particularly attractive feature is the network of woodland walks and moss-covered stone steps which meander through the grounds, reflecting the property's Victorian heritage. The elevated setting allows the house to enjoy beautiful views over its gardens and woodland canopy towards the Firth of Clyde beyond.

The combination of an exceptional coastal setting, substantial Victorian accommodation, separate cottage and enchanting woodland grounds makes Abbots Brae a rare lifestyle opportunity on Scotland's picturesque west coast.
