The Mansion HouseDollarbeg Park, Dollar, Clackmannanshire, FK14 7LF

The Mansion House has been known by several names throughout its long history, originally constructed in the 1890s as Dollarbeg Castle. At some point in the 1880s the estate was acquired by William Henry Dobie, a Victorian railway tycoon with business connections in Canada. He commissioned the demolition of the old Mansion House at Easter Dollarbeg, and commenced building the current house in 1887, finished in 1889. The architect was Stirling based Ebenezer Simpson. In 2007, the property was once again transformed, this time into ten luxurious apartments set within approximately five acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds.

The Tower (7) is an exceptional duplex apartment, primarily occupying the second floor, with two storeys of additional turret rooms above, and a striking spiral stone staircase leading to a spectacular private roof terrace. Finished to an exceptionally high standard, the property retains considerable character, with turreted features in several of the key rooms, and outstanding panoramic views from every window.

A shared entrance hall, featuring elegant mosaic flooring, leads to a black marble staircase rising to the first floor. Here, the private entrance to The Tower is accessed, along with a generous storage cupboard and a carpeted wooden staircase to the second level. The sitting / dining room enjoys breathtaking north-facing views across Dollar, Castle Campbell, and the Ochil Hills beyond, as well as aspects to the west. The room includes two charming turreted corners and a boiler cupboard, and flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and Siemens appliances, including an oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, and microwave. There is also an integrated Sonos sound system throughout the property.

The principal bedroom suite features a turreted corner, built-in wardrobes, south-facing views, and an en suite shower room. A further bedroom with a large bay window and a family bathroom complete this floor.
A spiral staircase leads to a cinema room with wall-mounted TV, Yamaha amp and integrated Sonos ceiling speakers which are included in the sale. A level further up the spiral staircase sits the stunning tower bedroom. This special room has windows on three sides, offering panoramic elevated views across Dollar and the surrounding countryside. At the top of the tower, a private roof terrace provides an exceptional setting for entertaining while enjoying the stunning scenery. The current owners have installed new composite decking, and it provides a truly breathtaking setting for outdoor entertaining enclosed by carved stone balustrades and wrought-iron safety railings. The property also includes a spacious attic space accessed from a small doorway and latterly from the apartment’s lower level staircase.

One of the remarkable features of The Mansion House at Dollarbeg is its spectacular communal gardens which wrap to the south, east and north of the property, and extend to about five acres in all. Significant investment has gone into transforming the grounds into immaculately presented, ornate gardens fit for a property of The Mansion House’s iconic stature. There are manicured lawns, and curated borders throughout the terraced gardens, with gravelled paths and stone staircases connecting the different segments. In the north garden is a characterful sundial garden, partially enclosed by the original stone walls. Mature woodland sits beyond the boundaries, providing it with an abundance of shelter. A sweeping driveway leads through the grounds to the front of the building, where residents’ parking is available.
