About this property

  • Lochwood House is a fine 19th century property with generous accommodation and exceptional views. The interior is finished to a high standard throughout, while many original Victorian features have been carefully preserved, including decorative plasterwork, high ceilings and large windows. There is full double glazing.Currently run as a B&B along with self catering accommodation in the rear wing, as well as being a comfortable family home, Lochwood House is a hugely versatile property.

    The house is approached via stone steps leading up to a pretty verandah, from where timber storm doors open to a welcoming reception hallway. Off here are the drawing room and dining room, both of which have windows on two sides enjoying beautiful loch views along with a marble fire surround and wood burner in each. The drawing room also has a recessed display cabinet and the dining room has fitted bookshelves. Towards the back of the house is the family room which has a feature fireplace, and the dining kitchen which boasts an extensive range of fitted Shaker style base and wall mounted units, a central island and integrated appliances. Off here is the fitted utility room and the side porch. A further good sized room has patio doors to the gardens and could be used as a home office, gym, playroom or useful store room. There are three bedrooms on the first floor of the main part of the house. The principal bedroom has stunning loch views, a luxurious en suite shower room and a fabulous dressing room with a claw foot freestanding bath on a tiled platform. Both the other bedrooms also have ensuite shower rooms and look out onto the loch. The rear wing of the house forms the self-contained apartment, ideal for holiday lets, guest accommodation or multi- generational living. The wing has two bedrooms, both with French doors opening onto the private decked terrace, a bathroom, shower room, sitting room and dining kitchen with integrated hob and oven with overhead extractor and integrated fridge freezer.

    Sheltered and mature, the grounds of Lochwood House (with external lighting) sweep all the way down to the shores of Loch Goil. A shallow stream marks the boundary of the land to the north. Red squirrels are prevalent within the grounds along with the occasional pine marten. An expanse of lawn slopes down from the driveway and privacy is ensured by mature trees. At the edge of the lawn is a fantastic decked terrace (with power supply) overlooking the loch. Seals are regular visitors from the colony nearby, along with a variety of sea birds both common and rare. Porpoise, dolphin and sea otters can be seen during summer and autumn months.
    Situated in the natural woodland leading down to the fishing point, is a secluded timber-built chalet with decked terrace and covered dining / BBQ area. This facility provides spectacular views across the loch and surrounding mountains.
