House, Banff, AB45

Grand living redefined in the heart of Banff.

Where 18th century heritage meets 21st century luxury.

Low and Partners presents you with the one and only Colleonard House in Banff — a truly extraordinary residence and unquestionably one of the most remarkable homes in the area. First dating back to circa 1750, later enlarged in the late 1800s and then fully renovated and partly reconstructed around 1999, this exceptional property blends rich heritage with modern refinement. Offering an impressive 498m² of accommodation, five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, four ensuite bathrooms, a main bathroom, WC, two kitchens, a wine cellar, a whisky room with balcony, and approximately 9.5 acres of land, this is a home of rare scale, elegance and versatility. With its layout and proportions, it is perfectly suited to multi generational living, and viewings are strictly by appointment only.

A cast iron portico frames the beautiful front entrance, with a balcony positioned above, setting the tone for the grandeur within. The entrance hallway is a statement in itself — a magnificent space featuring two large stainless glass windows, three staircases and a combination of tiles and carpet flooring. One staircase leads to the upper floor, another to the wine cellar, and the third to the main accommodation. Ceiling lighting enhances the impressive scale, and the mirror and console table will remain.

The formal dining room is a wonderfully large and atmospheric space, rich in original features and illuminated by sash windows on all sides. An open fire adds warmth and character, while wall and ceiling lighting complement the room’s grandeur. This is a room designed for hosting on a memorable scale.

The upper landing is equally generous, leading to the principal accommodation. The whisky room is a standout feature — a beautifully appointed space with an open fire, striking architectural details, a picture window, soft carpeting and a radiator. Double doors open onto a glass balustrade balcony, offering a serene spot to enjoy the grounds.

The main lounge is nothing short of breathtaking. A stunning bay window floods the room with natural light, while the original marble fireplace, complete with Minton tiles, creates a remarkable focal point. A wood burning stove adds comfort, and the views are simply beautiful. This is a true showstopper of a room, finished with wall and ceiling lighting and soft carpet underfoot.

The master bedroom is a lovely dual aspect room with its own ensuite and dressing room. The ensuite features a privacy window, bath, walk in shower, built in cabinetry with wash hand basin and toilet, lighting and radiator. The dressing room offers excellent storage and natural light. Bedroom two is another large room with a rear facing window, a spacious walk in cupboard with lighting and ample room for furniture. Its ensuite includes a walk in shower, wash hand basin with cabinetry, toilet, tiled walls and a heated towel rail. Bedroom three is also generously sized, with double built in wardrobes, a rear facing window and its own ensuite with shower, privacy window, wash hand basin, cabinetry, toilet and heated towel rail. The main bathroom is beautifully styled with a cast iron bath, shower cubicle, Victorian style toilet and sink, Amtico flooring and a useful linen cupboard that will remain. A walk in airing cupboard houses the water tank.

Bedroom four is exceptionally large, featuring four dual aspect windows, carpet, lighting and radiator. Its ensuite includes a shower, wash hand basin, toilet, heated towel rail and window. Bedroom five is located on the top floor, offering lovely views, carpet, lighting and radiator. This level also includes an attic store with access to a vast loft space, two Velux windows, laminate flooring, lighting and radiator, plus an additional attic area.

The back kitchen and laundry room is a substantial space with three windows, ample cabinetry, two washing machines included, a hob, tiled flooring, a large walk in area housing the boiler, lighting, radiator and pulley. The back entrance vestibule is lined in pitch pine with original tiles, hanging space and a door leading to the rear patio. An office/snug provides a quiet retreat with oak panelling, two windows, carpet, lighting and radiator. A pantry cupboard offers further storage.

The main kitchen and dining area is fitted with an oak Magnet kitchen, Corian worktops, Rangemaster cooker, island with sink, dishwasher, slate tiles, radiator and lighting. This flows into the open plan family room, featuring an electric fire, doors to the front patio, wood flooring, lighting, two radiators and a huge cupboard with lighting. A cloakroom with toilet, wash hand basin, privacy window, lighting and radiator completes this section of the home.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A stone garden shed, various patio areas, newly stoned parking area with granite chips and a lovely driveway enhance the grounds. The garage features wooden garden doors, light, power and a mezzanine for storage. The long curved driveway creates a striking approach, leading through approximately 9.5 acres of land.

Colleonard House is a rare and magnificent property — steeped in history, beautifully restored and offering exceptional space, character and lifestyle potential. A true one of a kind home in Banff. Viewings are strictly by appointment only.
