Glenlyon HouseDalmally, Argyll and Bute, PA33 1AA

Set within mature private grounds extending to around 1.1 acres, Glenlyon House is a handsome detached country residence dating from the late 19th century, enjoying an elevated and peaceful position in the sought-after Argyllshire village of Dalmally. The setting affords open views across surrounding countryside towards the dramatic mountainous backdrop for which the area is renowned.

Constructed circa 1885, Glenlyon House is a fine example of its era, with a wealth of retained architectural detail throughout. The interiors are characterised by well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, with notable features including a beautifully crafted pitch pine staircase, intricate cornicing, traditional sash and case windows, fireplaces of cast iron, and panelled internal doors with decorative detailing.

The accommodation extends over three levels and provides a particularly adaptable layout, well suited to family occupation while equally lending itself to alternative uses such as guest accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. The accommodation begins with entrance vestibule opening into a welcoming central hallway, from which the principal reception rooms are arranged. At ground floor level, the principal reception spaces include a bay-fronted sitting room with wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, and a spacious breakfast room adjoining the kitchen, alongside a utility room, pantry and rear hall. A large shower room, formerly a bedroom, is also located on the ground floor, offering flexibility for ground floor accommodation if required.

A half-landing accommodates two bathrooms and an additional bedroom, thoughtfully positioned to provide separation from the principal living spaces. The first floor is arranged around a central hall and provides four double bedrooms, alongside a fifth bedroom which is currently utilised as a study. A particularly attractive drawing room, positioned to the front with a bay window, is presently used as an additional reception room, further demonstrating the versatility of the upper layout. Above, the loft level is fully boarded with two skylights, offering scope for potential development.

The approach to Glenlyon House is both private and picturesque, with a sweeping gravel driveway leading through the grounds and continuing around the house to the detached double garage. The gardens are laid predominantly to lawn and are interspersed with a variety of established trees and shrubs. The setting offers a high degree of privacy, with additional features including a separate garden shed and cellar, as well as a useful outdoor WC.
