One of Scotland’s ‘most magnificent homes’ hits market for almost £2 million
A breathtaking mansion that has been described as one of Scotland’s “most magnificent period homes” has just hit the market.
Greystones is a five-bedroom Grade B-listed property situated in the picturesque village of Kilmacolm in Inverclyde. It is currently available to buy for offers over £1.75 million.
Dating back to 1913, the one-of-a-kind property has been hailed as an example of the “finest” in conservation architecture. Designed in a late Arts and Crafts style, Greystones was extensively renovated in 2014 and recently underwent a meticulous redecoration throughout — with modern finishes pairing beautifully with gothic-inspired original features.
Stepping inside, the gothic reception hallway with original dark wood panelling leads through to a study that is framed around a period fireplace. Elsewhere, a Siematic kitchen designed by Nicholas Anthony of Mayfair features marble, stainless steel, and copper mirrored wall units.
The kitchen is connected to a comfy family room through a magnificent archway that features another period fireplace and an incredible bay window. There is also a lovely informal dining area with amazing far-reaching country views.
Elsewhere on the ground floor is a Mozolowski and Murray conservatory that provides a further social area with floods of natural light. A connecting hallway leads to the opulent formal dining room with a bespoke bird’s eye maple wood fire surround.
Moving upstairs, the first floor is home to the spellbinding master bedroom with a luxurious en-suite. There are two further en-suite bedrooms on this floor, as well as a family shower room.
The top floor is a versatile, semi-self-contained suite featuring a flexible games-slash-cinema room and a fully appointed kitchenette. On this level, there’s an additional bedroom with dual-aspect views and a further guest bathroom.
Gordon McGuire of Corum Property commented: “Greystones is a breathtaking home, it really is something truly special. This is a home that has been loved, adored and brought to life by the current owners — it’s full of character.
“The owner worked closely with Anna Campbell-Jones on the interior design, and the outcome is spectacular. The original features blend beautifully with pops of colour, exquisite craftsmanship and a layout that flows wonderfully.
“Greystones presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable note in the picturesque village of Kilmacolm, one of the most coveted addresses in Scotland.”
