Fisherwood House is attributed to the well-known architect, J J Burnett. It was built in 1902 in the Arts and Crafts style as two semi-detached homes for successful local merchants. On offer is the northen most portion.
A rare opportunity to acquire one of Balloch's most charming and oldest residences, surrounded perfectly by beautiful private gardens with Loch Lomond literally on one's doorstep. This fabulous home enjoys a plethora of breath taking original period features with deceptively spacious accommodation comprising, welcoming reception hall with storage off, impressive period living room and separate formal dining room, attractive large dining kitchen with pantry cupboard off, practical downstairs bedroom with a lovely shower room off. A period staircase leads to an upper hallway which accesses three further excellent double bedrooms, the most wonderful tower presently utilized as a home office/study with direct access onto a private roof terrace, currently with a hot tub.
The garden at Fisherwood House also includes a self-contained cottage, with a deck overlooking the river. Currently used as holiday accommodation to generate revenue, but that would easily lend itself to a granny / teenage flat, office, or studio.
The private grounds surrounding this property are simply magnificent, the present owner has meticulously and sensitively upgraded them to create a wild garden that includes beautiful walkways, a feature timber suspended bridge, attractive recently restored built green house, shed, basement workshop, outhouse, and single garage. Finally, there is a large driveway with parking facilities for numerous cars. Internal inspection of this wonderful home is essential to fully appreciate.
From the A82 turn into Balloch on the A811. Go straight on at the first roundabout (McDonalds on the left). Once you cross a pedestrian crossing you’ll see the sign for Balloch train station on your left. The driveway to Fisherwood is on your right immediately you cross the railway bridge.
Once in the driveway go straight on and park on the hard-standing. The front door is further on round, opposite the greenhouse.
The area is surrounded by some lovely walks, a marina with private moorings, with the world renowned, Loch Lomond Golf Course at Luss while not forgetting the recent fully restored 5-star Cameron house Resort Hotel which offers a wide and varied selection of amenities – both within walking distance along the shores of the loch. Kayaks can be launched from the bottom of the garden and Inchmurrin – the island with a pub is a short paddle away.
Although close to all the amenities of Balloch: Supermarkets, shops, restaurants, Fisherwood House is tucked away in its own wooded garden. For those living and working in Balloch Fisherwood House is a wonderful place to live. For those commuting, Balloch is a regularly accessible base for Glasgow (either by car or rail) and, indeed, for areas further afield such as Stirling, and perhaps even Edinburgh which can be reached in about 90 minutes.
