Elegant Victorian waterfront villa with guest accommodation.
Southpark is a handsome C listed Victorian villa occupying an outstanding shorefront setting with far-reaching views across the water. The house has been sympathetically maintained and enhanced whilst retaining a wealth of original architectural features including ornate cornicing, sash and case windows, high ceilings and fine timber detailing throughout.
The principal accommodation extends to approximately 4,200 sq ft and offers flexible family living over two floors.
The ground floor centres around an impressive reception hallway, from which the principal rooms are accessed. A generous drawing room enjoys spectacular views over Loch Long, while the formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining. A study/home office offers excellent work-from-home space while the kitchen features a central island, ample cabinetry and direct access to the rear courtyard. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a gym/tv room, games room, utility room, sauna and cloakroom facilities.
On the first floor there are six well proportioned bedrooms, the principal suite enjoys a generously-sized en suite bathroom and dressing facility. Two further bedrooms benefit from en suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The layout provides superb flexibility for family living and guest accommodation.
Complementing the principal residence is a detached ancillary building currently arranged as self-contained accommodation with sitting room, two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. The building offers a variety of potential uses including guest accommodation, holiday letting, home office space or multi-generational living, subject to any necessary consents.
There are also additional storage buildings.

Standing at the windows and taking in the panoramic views across Loch Long, I was reminded just how powerful a setting can be. While the house itself is full of beautiful architectural detail, it's the connection between the home, the grounds and the landscape beyond that makes this property so memorable.
