Description
Description
Built in 1995, this bright, spacious New England style modern family home is an exceptional house in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. Architect-designed by the acclaimed James Denholm Partnership and spanning over 4000 sq ft, everything about the property has been cleverly planned to maximise the light and the views and to capitalise on the incredible position, while ensuring all modern comforts are also in place.
The combination of traditional wooden floorings, combined with energy efficient heating systems, integrated sound systems, super fast fibre optic broad band and the fabulous range of outbuildings ensure that Na Lagan offers the most practical and enjoyable form of country living currently on offer. All in such close proximity to the major cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. the airports of which lie just 33 and 51 miles away respectively.
The property is constructed of brick under a slate roof, over two floors and forms an L shape. One of the features of the New England style is the galleried landing; this creates a double height hallway bringing in high levels of natural light and a grand sense of arrival. In all there are four reception rooms. The largest of these, the Drawing Room, occupies the western wing of the property. It has a beautiful teak floor, a Jet Master fire and a full wall of windows at one end providing fabulous views across Loch Ard. Along the corridor, the next in line is arguably the most enviable study in Scotland. A further Jet Master fire provides warmth and character, while the outlook across the Loch is utterly mesmerising. On a more practical level, there is a bank of bookshelves with storage beneath on one side. These principal reception rooms also benefit from integrated Bang & Olufson speakers. In the case of both the study and the kitchen there is also fitted TV units with B&O Sound and discrete wiring. The remaining two reception rooms are the garden room off the central reception hall ensuring the loch views are the first sight one sees when entering the house. The garden room also has access to the outside areas. The dining room, again with the loch views which dominate this house, has generous proportions and ample windows making it both bright and perfect for entertaining. The dining room also has a further fireplace with a wood burning stove and double doors that open onto the lochside gardens. The multiple garden access points from the reception rooms ensure a fabulous space for entertaining with a very natural flow both inside and out.
The kitchen is a traditional country kitchen with plentiful sub-surface storage cupboards underneath a wooden worksurface. There is a twin, two unit cream AGA. The first is a traditional two oven oil fired range and this is supported with further two oven electric oven with ceramic hob above. There is also matching free standing Aga fridge (included) and an integrated Miele dishwasher and Neff freezer. A double sink has been inset into the kitchen worksurface, with a polished black granite surround and draining surface. Adjoining the kitchen is also a highly enviable, spacious pantry cupboard.
The first floor sees four double bedrooms, three with wonderful views across the loch, with one bedroom also benefitting from an adjoining nursery. and shower room. There are two bathrooms on this floor with a further shower room found on the ground floor. The principal suite benefits from a fabulous dressing area and en suite with a walk in shower, built in seating arrangement and beautiful egg-shaped freestanding bath.
In addition to the principal dwelling, there are a number of outbuildings. On the approach down the lochside there is a beautiful elevated summer house, with internet connectivity, a wood burning stove and with decking to the front.
On entering the driveway immediately on the right is the beautiful "Clock House", which as the name suggests is home to a magnificent clock built into the gable end. Built of stone and slate, this very attractive building has a super-versatile set up in that it could be garaging or perhaps even converted into ancillary accommodation in the future, but for now it is a winter boat shelter of magnificent proportions. The heated floor and kitchen units all add to the possibilities. Outside the Clock House is a quirky shower unit, perfect for a post swim freshen up. This unique shower unit has been contained within a traditional vintage red telephone box.
As beautiful as the house is, it is the setting that ultimately steals centre stage. One of only two houses in the immediate vicinity to boast direct access to the water, Na Lagan sits proudly at the water's edge. A walk from the house leads down to one’s own private jetty. A floating pontoon with a mobile swimming ladder and partially timber clad walk way arches around the rocks leaving a sheltered bay and the boat house behind. This floating engineering ensure that the walkway and boats remain level for ease of access.
The natural colours of the native species in the gardens, the expanses of lawn, the spectacular views across the loch to the hill beyond and the careful crafting of both the house and the planting plans make Na Lagan one of the most exceptional homes in central Scotland. Moreover, it is a house and setting that simply cannot be replicated.
