Seven bedroom Cove Castle with its own bar for sale

The historic Cove Castle, designed by architect James Sellars, is being marketed by Galbraith, with offers over £1.175million being sought.

The property was previously owned by James Hannay in 1883 who claimed to be the first person to artificially create the industrial diamond, however, this is still a debate had by current scientists.

The castle on Shore Road has been extensively upgraded for modern living with a new heating system, double glazing in most areas and a roof that can survive coastal Scottish weather.

Many of the home's traditional feature have been retained in the period style, which includes large spacious rooms with high ceilings, stained glass windows, and a grand main staircase with two secondary spiral staircases leading to the turret and level that would have been used by servants.

On the ground floor, there is the large kitchen with its traditional features and comes with a wide variety of fitted cupboards, appliances and an impressive wood burning stove.

The garden surrounds the property on all sides and stretches to around seven acres, including the foreshore across the width of the gardens. A mix of mature woodland, laid to lawn, hidden passages and a cave surround Cove Castle, offering an enchanted garden to explore.
