DESCRIPTION
Balegreggan House is a stunning detached villa, Category C Listed, with a converted stable wing to the rear. The main house is understood to have been constructed around 1880, with the rear wing in 1900.
The beautifully presented detached home sits in its own extensive garden grounds in a private setting with far-reaching views, particularly to the south towards Davaar Island, Campbeltown Loch and Beinn Ghuilean. The property has been refurbished and maintained to a high standard and comprises extensive accommodation over two floors, including a large double garage and workshop.
The property is approached via a private drive from the public road, through Balegreggan Farm, to the main boundary wall and cattle grid. Beyond the wall the drive continues through a small area of mature woodland to the formal lawns and house itself, with an area of gravelled off-road parking to both the front and rear.
There are two entrances to the house, a more formal one to the front which opens into a large vestibule and then to the hallway, and one to the rear which opens to the boot room in the former stables wing. The house retains many original features including ornate cornicing, deep skirtings, wooden shutters, beautiful bay windows and a feature stained glass window on the stair landing.
On the ground floor is a fully fitted traditional style kitchen with breakfast bar, gas fired Aga, electric oven and gas hobs. Doors lead through to a lovely front facing dining room, complete with a feature mantlepiece. A large living room with bay window is located across the hallway and an en-suite bedroom to the rear of it. Off the kitchen is a boot room and utility, which in turn leads to the large double garage, workshop and separate WC. A further door leads to the garden.
A sweeping staircase from the hall leads to the upper floor which comprises a further large living room, master bedroom with Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom and two further bedrooms, one with en-suite. Off the stair landing the rear wing can be accessed and the family bathroom, two further double rooms and an office, which could also be utilised as a seventh bedroom if required.

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS
Balegreggan House sits within its own well tended and extensive garden grounds, extending to approximately 1.15 Acres in total. A gravelled driveway leads from the gates to the property and sweeps around the house to the south, leading to a rear parking area. The formal lawns, with hedges and topiary, lie mainly to the west of the house, interspersed with beds for vegetable growing and mature fruit trees. A smaller summer house is located to the rear of the house, with a log store adjacent to the workshop entrance. The high boundary wall is a particular feature and provides privacy, running along the northern and western boundary. A lower hedge runs along the southern boundary of the house and allows expansive views across open countryside to Campbeltown beyond.
