Nestled on the banks of Loch Long in Scotland sits a breathtaking castle, now up for sale for just under £2 million. Known as Cove Castle, this grand home boasts a B listed Scots Baronial style, and has a rich history dating back to its purchase by James Hannay in 1883. Hannay was famous for his claim of being the first person to artificially create industrial diamonds, though this claim is still hotly debated among scientists.
Spread over five acres of land, this property is truly a sight to behold. With four reception rooms, seven bedrooms, and four bathrooms, there is no shortage of space for both living and entertaining. The interior is filled with stunning traditional features, such as high ceilings and stained glass windows. The grand main staircase leads to two secondary spiral staircases, which in turn lead to a turret and level that would have been used by servants in the past.
On the first floor, you will find a spacious drawing room complete with a solid wood burning stove, perfect for cozy evenings in. The dining room, also located on the first floor, offers stunning views of the front lawn and Loch Long. The kitchen has been updated in a traditional style, with fitted cupboards, appliances, and an impressive wood burning stove.
The main stair case or the tower stairs can be used to access the reception rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms spread across the first, second, and third floors. Each of these rooms boasts unique period details, adding to the charm and character of this remarkable property. In total, the living space covers an impressive 4700 square feet.
Surrounding the castle on all sides is a beautiful garden spanning seven acres, including a section along the foreshore. The garden is bound by a stone boundary wall, and can be accessed through private gates. Within the garden, you will find a mix of mature woodland, lush lawns, hidden passages, and even a cave, providing endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
Interested buyers can now purchase this enchanting property for £1,175,000 through Galbraith.
