9 bedroom detached house for sale

A substantial grade B listed Victorian Mansion House and Gate Lodge sitting in a stunning rural location with spectacular views.

Auchenheath House is a distinctive Grade B listed Victorian house, originally built around 1842 and then further extended in 1876 and 1886, while the chapel was again added later in the 19th Century. We understand that some of the beautiful ornate stained glass within the property has been designed by Stephen Adam. The property is built of sandstone under pitched slate roofs in an Italianate style with two distinctive towers.

The main public accommodation is spread across the ground floor with an impressive entrance hall opening up into the Jacobean style library as well as giving access to the drawing room, dining room, study and morning room. The drawing room has an ornate marble fireplace which originally came from Hamilton Palace in 1919 while the hall and the dining room have magnificent vaulted ceiling and there are splendid stain glass windows throughout. There is also an extremely attractive modern kitchen fitted to a high specification with granite work surfaces. Through the dining room or via a second external entrance there is further accommodation which effectively could be a self-contained house with a sitting room, games room, the chapel with priest's hole, a dining kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor with four bedrooms and a tower room on the first floor and two tower rooms (one with balcony) on the second floor.

The lower ground floor in the main house provides a further combination of public and sleeping accommodation with a cinema, gym and two bedrooms. The first floor by the main staircase has four bedrooms, a bathroom and a play room while by the second staircase up the tower is a bedroom on the first floor and a tower room with balcony on the second floor.

In total the grounds are circa 12.33 acres (4.99 ha).
