A defining feature of Elmhurst is its remarkable sense of arrival. The property is approached through impressive cast iron gates that open to a sprawling courtyard and private driveway, immediately creating a sense of distinction and exclusivity.

This expansive forecourt provides generous off-street parking while enhancing privacy and security, a particularly valuable feature within such a sought-after residential setting. The impressive façade is further enhanced by several original pilasters to the front elevation, reinforcing the architectural integrity and character of the home and setting the tone for the grandeur that lies within.

Stepping inside, the home continues to impress with a grand and beautifully presented fully tiled reception hallway that creates an immediate sense of scale and elegance. From here, the accommodation unfolds into a series of thoughtfully designed living spaces that balance traditional character with striking contemporary styling.

To the front of the property lies a grand front-facing lounge, a magnificent entertaining space that comfortably accommodates a formal dining table and is centred around an ornate gas fireplace, creating an atmosphere of warmth and timeless sophistication.

Elmhurst offers three beautifully presented double bedrooms, each with its own unique character and outlook. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property and enjoys stunning panoramic views across the River Clyde, providing a peaceful and visually striking retreat.

The third bedroom is a delightful and imaginative space, styled with a distinctive Beauty and the Beast-inspired theme, once again benefitting from superb elevated views that further enhance the sense of charm and individuality found throughout the property.

The home also benefits from a large and welcoming family snug, an inviting space designed for relaxation and entertaining, complete with an inbuilt bar that adds a sociable and contemporary touch.

At the heart of the home lies a superb modern kitchen, finished to an exceptional standard with elegant marbled worktops that provide both visual impact and durability.

To the lower level, the basement accommodation provides further valuable and versatile space, including a practical plumbed utility room designed to support the demands of modern living. This level also benefits from a second shower room and toilet, adding convenience and flexibility for family life or visiting guests.

The show-stopping main bathroom has been carefully designed to create a luxurious spa-like environment, featuring a stunning freestanding bath that forms an elegant focal point within the room. A walk-in shower cubicle adds further functionality, enhanced by full-length artwork that introduces a bold and contemporary visual statement, perfectly complementing the home’s overall design character.

To the rear, Elmhurst offers an outdoor environment of exceptional scale and flexibility that significantly enhances its desirability. Our client has acquired additional garden ground to create a spacious and expansive setting rarely found within properties of this nature. The gardens have been thoughtfully enhanced to support both everyday relaxation and entertaining, featuring a raised decking seating area ideal for summer dining and gatherings, along with a further rear decking terrace that provides additional space for leisure and enjoyment. The depth and privacy of these grounds create a peaceful retreat, offering a rare combination of greenery, usable outdoor living space and scope for future landscaping or development.

Elmhurst’s unique character and striking interior design have been recognised on a national stage, with the property proudly selected as a candidate in the acclaimed 2023 series of Scotland’s Home of the Year.

Properties that deliver such a compelling blend of history, scale, design and lifestyle versatility seldom become available, making Elmhurst a truly memorable and desirable offering within the West End marketplace.

A PROPERTY WITH A BOLD AND PROUD HERITAGE

Elmhurst is an exceptional and highly individual Victorian residence, proudly positioned within one of the most admired and historically significant streetscapes in the West End of Greenock.

Forming part of a distinguished collection of traditional sandstone homes, Elmhurst dates from the 19th century and reflects the craftsmanship and architectural ambition of a period when the town flourished as a prosperous maritime and mercantile centre.

The property is linked to Robert Paterson, an original owner associated with Greenock’s proud shipowning and trading history during the late 19th century. Paterson is recorded as having named his vessel “Elmhurst”, launched circa 1880, reflecting the strong tradition of shipowners naming their homes and vessels in connection with one another during Greenock’s shipping boom.

This connection adds a further layer of historical depth to the property, tying Elmhurst not only to the architectural story of Newark Street but also to the wider maritime heritage that shaped the River Clyde and Greenock’s global significance during the Victorian era.

Newark Street itself is synonymous with prestige and permanence, characterised by elegant villas and substantial period residences built during the height of Greenock’s commercial success, and Elmhurst stands today as a fine example of this enduring legacy, a residence that captures the elegance of its era while offering the versatility required for modern family living.

The property has been meticulously cared for by the current owners, ensuring it is presented to an exceptional standard throughout while retaining its inherent character and charm ready for it next custodians.
