North Wing, Overton Hall, West Glen Road, Kilmacolm, Inverclyde, PA13

Description
North Wing, Overton Hall.
Overton Hall was designed by the well-known local architect Austen Laird. Overton Hall at one time was a grand period mansion house of Kilmacolm with North and south gate lodges all set amid mature and leafy parkland grounds.

Overton Hall North Wing is formed by a significant portion of the successful conversion of Overton Hall which at one time has been sensitively and carefully split into only three homes, Overton Hall South Wing, Overton Hall North Wing and Overton Hall Centre Wing.

Externally, the house is of cream painted harled exterior under a roof of Dreadnaught tile. The structure is protected by a category ‘C’ listing and within the house the rooms are spacious, light and airy and there has been the careful and sensitive preservation of many period features. The accommodation is laid out over three levels, the split and arrangement always seeming to provide one with the sense of being within a detached home rather than a conversion.
