A HANDSOME and meticulously-restored country house, complete with its very own private access to Loch Lomond, is looking for a new owner...and while the starting price of £1.4 million may not quite be within everyone's reach, who's to stop us dreaming?
Edendarroch, just to the south of Tarbet, has undergone a sympathetic and comprehensive restoration at the hands of the current owners, and the attention to detail and quality of the work is evident throughout.
Within the home there is extensive use of dressed hardwood floorings with all bathrooms demonstrating a classic finish with traditional style fittings and sanitaryware. in keeping with the heritage of the property.
Edendarroch is striking in appearance and suitably grand internally, whilst maintaining an exceptional level of comfort and the relaxed ambiance of a period family home.
Entering through the vestibule and into the bright and impressive hallway with stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, a turned staircase leads upstairs. Off the vestibule is a spacious study with another wood-burning stove and a minstrels' gallery.
Off the hallway is a library with glass cabinetry, fireplace with open fire and two picture windows providing natural light and adding character.
Spacious reception rooms, all with magnificent views, offer bright and generously proportioned entertaining spaces.
None are more beautiful than the drawing room, which boasts a stunning focal fireplace, large windows, wall panelling and attractive ceiling rose and cornice.
Double sliding doors reveal the equally elegant dining room, with stone fireplace, beautiful wall mouldings and fitted bookcases and cabinets round the room.
A well-appointed kitchen benefits from a range of wall and floor mounted cabinetry topped with quartz, and a central island with stainless steel surface. The kitchen is equipped with an AGA, gas hob and sink in the island with most appliances concealed within the cabinets.
The patio room is located beyond the kitchen and offers an amazing space to have dinner or relax inside or out with French door opening out to the stone terrace.
A mezzanine offers another office or reading space and is accessed via a small staircase at the back of the room.
An intricate stained glass window lights the stairway to the first floor hallway where there is a further stone fireplace.
The principal suite enjoys elevated views over the loch and benefits from a relaxing sitting area with marble fireplace, splendid bedroom with a dressing area and en suite bathroom with a centrally positioned bath and separate shower cubicle which is beautifully finished with wood panelling and hardwood floors.
There are three further bedrooms, all with en suite bath and shower rooms and full of unique and individual features.
The tower bedroom is of particular note with its breathtaking 360 degree views of the loch and surrounding countryside, making this a fantastic guest suite.
Externally, Edendarroch lies at the end of a driveway, accessed directly off the A82, nestled behind trees. Outbuildings include a summer house, studio, shed, boiler room, laundry room, greenhouse and garage which is currently fitted out as a workshop. There is also plenty of parking available.
The grounds of Edendarroch stretch to around 1.7 acres and comprise beautifully landscaped gardens with intricate walkways and mature lawns surrounded by established trees and shrubbery.
Extending down to the lochside, the house further benefits from a jetty and slipway with winch and private moorings allowing the owner to enjoy Loch Lomond and all that it offers.
