Description
<>)
This property, Straloch House, is a historic Category 'A' listed mansion house dating back to 1780, set within its own private estate grounds and woodland. The house boasts a symmetrical stone-clad facade with a grand central block that extends to both East and West wings, offering flexible living spaces that can be integrated with the main house or used independently. The current owners have meticulously restored and refurbished the property since 2009, with updates including a new roof, central heating, and handcrafted interiors with Italian marble flooring and open fires. The main house features a reception hall, drawing room, dining room, billiard room, and a dining kitchen, along with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms across three floors. The West and East wings offer additional self-contained living spaces, with their own access and mirroring accommodation.
The estate includes a separate gate lodge, a historic chapel, and a laundry building with a garage. The gardens are a highlight, with a walled garden, rolling lawns, and a charming lochan that supports a diverse range of wildlife. The property is approached via electric gates leading to a tarmac driveway, flanked by the estate's private land and woodland.
The policies and garden grounds extend to approximately 63.36 acres (25.64 hectares) and feature a sheltered courtyard with a water fountain and a decked area with a hot tub. The walled garden, about 2 acres in size, has high stone walls and the potential for restoration.
The private chapel on the estate dates back to around 1908 and retains many original features, while the gate lodge offers additional accommodation with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The services, council tax band, and energy performance certificate details are not specified in the provided text. Straloch House is a grand and historic home that offers a blend of period charm and modern luxury, set within the privacy and tranquility of its own estate.
