Auchenfroe is a small estate which offers a fine Category B listed Georgian house of considerable character, a gate lodge, three courtyard cottages and grounds of about 9 acres, which include a paddock.

Impressive stone gate pillars mark the entrance to Auchenfroe Estate. The two bedroom gate lodge sits immediately on the right. A beautiful long tree lined driveway with electrically operated gates leads up to the house, with Cardross Golf course on the left and a paddock on the right.

Auchenfroe House dates from around 1815. It is typically Georgian in character. Formed over three floors, it retains the drawing room in its original first floor position and offers flexible family accommodation that carries not only the trademark features of the era, but having undergone an extensive renovation and restoration, the property blends period charm with modern comforts, to a quality that is rarely seen. A pedimented porch leads to the main reception hallway with a gorgeous flagstone floor. Off the hallway are the morning room and the dining room, the latter of which boasts some beautiful cabinetry as well as an open fire with a stunning wooden mantle and surround. From the central hallway a door leads to an anteroom with cloakroom attached which in turn connects to the magnificent conservatory. To the rear of the house are a family room, a wine cellar and a substantial kitchen with Aga. The Kitchen sees the balance of modern and old come to life with stunning cabinetry courtesy of Woodstock Furniture and a wonderful central island with a Belfast sink, granite work surfaces and a raised oak breakfasting bar. As well as the gas fired Aga there are integrated ovens, a gas hob and an industrial sized fridge and freezer.

The formal gardens at Auchenfroe are truly remarkable. They have been lovingly planned, maintained and matured over many years. Seasonally they are awash with colour and feature countless varieties of rhododendrons and azaleas. Splendid mature trees provide privacy and protection and the grounds are frequented by a great variety of birds and other wildlife. There is a useful greenhouse and large potting shed together with raised beds for vegetables and cutting flowers. A pond and ornamental stream can be found in the southern reaches of the garden.
