Description
Forming part of the Inverardoch Estate and under the Campbell family ownership since 1840, Wester Row is a unique and characterful property. The property offers a stunning country living setup with a charming family home, multiple outbuildings with excellent potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consents), and about 1.5 acres of mature gardens and grounds.
The track leads down to the entrance of the courtyard where a large store is located on the left. The range of outbuildings used currently as stores and a large workshop with integrated dog kennels, provides a sheltered courtyard and front entrance to the main home.
The property is comprised of two halves with fantastic features and character retained throughout. The original cottage blends seamlessly into the more modern converted barn. The main entrance leads from a covered porch into an entrance hall-cum-dining area, with original maid's room tucked under the stairs, and old stove intact. To the right, a short passage leads into the modern open plan kitchen with breakfast area with double height galleried landing above. The stone stove dates back hundreds of years with old nooks used for spoons and ladles still on show. A log burner sits in the surround and is connected to a thermal store for hot water and helps feed the central system. The flagstone floor with underfloor heating connects the breakfast area in front of large bi-fold doors, and leads into the farmhouse-style kitchen. Fitted base and wall units house an integrated dishwasher, Falcon range cooker with induction hob, two sinks and ample storage. To the rear of the kitchen is a spacious utility room with boot room capacity and rear door access, and separate bathroom with walk in shower with steam room settings. Wrought iron spiral stairs lead up to a galleried landing with double Velux Juliet windows overlooking the garden. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.
From the entrance hall, to the left is the original cottage part of the property. A landing provides access to a welcoming sitting room featuring bay window with seating, open working fire and fitted bookshelves and rear door access to the garden. Also in this wing is a large study with shelving, and a guest bedroom. Stairs lead up to the first floor landing with family bathroom and two spacious bedrooms with dormer windows and original fireplaces.
From the kitchen and breakfast area, bi-fold doors open onto a paved and covered patio for al fresco dining and barbeques. The beautiful principal gardens sit to the south of the house, and include a small orchard and a variety of attractive mature trees. These peaceful grounds are elevated, offering outstanding views over the neighbouring countryside.
