Description
This stunning B-Listed, late 19th-century sandstone villa, known as "Kintillo", is a rare find in Helensburgh's sought-after West Side. The property boasts many original features, including a bespoke Leiper-designed portico, wood panelling, and ornate detailing. The ground floor conversion offers a generous and flexible layout, with six principal apartments, each with its own unique charm. The sumptuous 21ft bay windowed lounge features a stunning William Leiper-constructed timber fire surround, while the breakfasting kitchen offers excellent storage and a walk-in pantry/utility area. The property also includes four good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a detached garage. The well-tended gardens surround the property, with a patio area at the rear and a side patio off the dining area. With its rich heritage, including a notable resident, the former Prime Minister H Bonar Law, this property is a true gem waiting to be restored to its former glory.
