| A unique home within the conversion of a prestigious country estate landmark overlooking the historical village of Inverkip on the Clyde coast is being marketed following a sympathetic restoration into an outstanding family home.
The magnificent B-listed Langhouse mansion, built in 1705, was the former manor house of the Langhouse Country Estate and now developers have thoughtfully restored it to its original breathtaking exterior and created two outstanding contemporary homes that remain true to their elegant origins.
The one remaining unique property which is the second of the two conversions of the main house is entered through a magnificent private gated courtyard and offers accommodation over two levels.
The luxury four-bedroom home has been restored by combining the original features of the house, making use of its large room proportions, feature cornicing and conserving its unique stone exterior, complete with corner roof turrets. The house has been developed to the highest standards, using quality materials with a luxury specification that includes contemporary designer kitchens and bathrooms by Porcelanosa.
With three reception rooms, comprising lounge, dining room and family room and a useful cellar space below the ground floor, this home is built for entertaining and for enjoying the spectacular countryside views. The house also benefits from an unusual walled garden which is separate from its neighbouring conversion, with plenty of room for dining alfresco. Number 2 of The Langhouse also comes with a garage with parking spaces.
The house also has two main bathrooms, with one featuring a whirlpool bath and three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.
The village of Inverkip has local shops providing basic provisions and services, including a primary school, health centre, marina, hotels and restaurants. Outdoor pursuits including fishing and pony trekking are available in Ardgowan Estate.
Those with sailing interests will be drawn to the marina at Inverkip and an equestrian centre is next door to the development, providing all the facilities for trekking around the grounds. Inverkip is also easily commutable to Glasgow or further south to Ayrshire and although this home very much has a ‘country’ feel to it, there’s a wealth of amenities on your doorstep.
Number 2, The Langhouse, is the final remaining home available for sale within the main manor house at Langhouse Estate and is on the market priced at £425,000.
