Inside former Scots lock keeper’s cottage beside canal after ‘full renovation’
A “unique” Scottish refurbished lock keeper’s cottage along a tranquil canal has just hit the market.
Ardmaleish House is a historic three-bedroom home situated on the banks of the Crinan Canal in Argyll. It is available to purchase for offers over £375,000.
The former lock keeper’s cottage dates back to the early 19th century. However, it has undergone major renovation and extension works that were carried out by award-winning architects.
Stepping inside, the property is a modern and stylish family home. Set out over two levels, it is centred around a contemporary kitchen with a triple skylight that ensures it is a light and bright space.
Meanwhile, the dual-aspect sitting room features a wood-burning stove, while off the living room there is a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Elsewhere, off the kitchen, there is a small internal hall with a toilet and a utility room.
Upstairs, the other two front-facing double bedrooms can be found. The first floor is completed with a gorgeous fully tiled spacious shower room.
Stepping outside, the fenced front garden is laid to lawn and has been beautifully landscaped. A stone slabbed path leads from the gravelled drive along the front of the house, towards a detached stone-built outbuilding that has a range of potential uses.
Property agent Iona Lamont commented: “This is a unique opportunity to own a fantastic property in a stunning location in Argyll. Being one of very few houses on Crinan Canal to have underwent a full architectural renovation, this is an opportunity not to be missed.”
Further information and images can be found on the Savills listing.
