Brownlee House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning 18th century country home with a chapel thought to date back to 1745. Brownlee House is set in just under 10 acres of garden and grounds including a walled garden. The main house stands proudly elevated over the River Clyde and the wider Clyde Valley. During the current owners' custodianship, it has been beautifully decorated with a number of additions and improvements being made.

It is a substantial property that provides a manageable and comfortable living environment, with around 5299sq ft of living accommodation excluding the garage, workshop and gazebo. The accommodation is over three levels, beginning with an impressive entrance hall with wood panelling and the original main staircase leading to the first floor. Located off the hall and to the left of the property is the characterful dining room with leaded bay window looking over the garden, again with exquisite wood wall panelling and a fine fireplace along with a beamed ceiling. A passageway leads through to the magnificent drawing room with triple aspect views over the garden, a fireplace with woodburning stove and many period features. In the east wing there is a self-contained apartment with its own outside access made up of a kitchen, sitting room, double bedroom and shower room, although this could be re-integrated into the main body of the house if desired.

The chapel has been preserved in its original form and features an altar, pews and original stained glass windows.

To the right of the entrance hall there is a snug which displays a large bay window, cosy wood burning stove and intricate woodwork. The kitchen is accessed via the rear entrance hall and is well appointed with a range of wall and floor mounted cabinetry, and both an oil fired AGA and range cooker in matching Racing Green. A utility room, pantry, boot room and a WC complete the main downstairs accommodation.

The turned staircase with ornate wooden balustrade leads to the mid landing where there is a bathroom and WC. Upstairs on the first floor there are three bedrooms including the principal suite which benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom. A second staircase leads to the second floor which is home to a further three bedrooms one of which has an en suite bathroom.

The gardens and grounds of Brownlee House are extensive and consist of a formal lawn to the front which becomes rough grazing and leads down to the banks of the River Clyde where Brownlee House owns the fishing rights. There is also a substantial walled garden and orchard all surrounded by woodland.

The outbuildings comprise a single garage, old smokehouse and gazebo in the walled garden.
