Cardross property: Take a look around the most expensive home

Auchenfroe is a small estate that offers Category B listed Georgian House which is full of character, as well as three courtyard cottages and a paddock.

It is one of the most expensive homes on the property market with estate agents Savills looking for offers over £1,850,000.

The property, in Cardross, is formed over three floors, dates back to around 1815 that has kept many of its original features but has undergone an extensive renovation to blend its period charm with modern comforts.

A pedimented porch leads to the main reception hallway with a gorgeous flagstone floor. From the hallway are the morning room and dining room, the latter of which boasts some beautiful cabinetry as well as an open fire with a wooden mantle.

From there it leads into an anteroom with a cloakroom attached which in turn connects to the magnificent conservatory. To the rear of the house are a family room, a wine cellar and a substantial kitchen with Aga.

The kitchen sees the balance of modern and old come to life with stunning cabinetry and a wonderful central island with a Belfast sink, granite work surfaces and a raised oak breakfasting bar. There are also integrated ovens, a gas hob and an industrial-sized fridge and freezer.

Meanwhile on the first floor is the historic drawing room with its stunning ornate marble fireplace, beautiful cornicing and dual-aspect windows, flooding the room with natural light.

Across from the family room is the principal bedroom suite that comes with a spacious dressing room and a generous triple-aspect ensuite bathroom with stunning views over the gardens.

On this floor, there are four double bedrooms (two with en suite facilities) and a family bathroom.

The second floor provides a further bedroom as well as a very useful attic store room.

To the rear of the main house is a courtyard which offers extensive garaging and excellent workshop facilities. Further garaging comprises a newly-built double garage sitting in its own landscaped area behind the cottages.

There are three courtyard cottages which together with the Gate Lodge provide further income for the potential buyer. All are presented in excellent order, offer flexible accommodation over two levels (in the case of the cottages) and together comprise one three-bedroom and three 2-bedroom units.The home comes with the Gate Lodge which could provide further income (Image: Savills) (Image: Savills)

The formal gardens have been lovingly planned, maintained and matured over many years. Seasonally they are awash with colour and feature countless varieties of rhododendrons and azaleas. Splendid mature trees provide privacy and protection and the grounds are frequented by a great variety of birds and other wildlife.

A pond and ornamental stream can be found in the southern reaches of the garden. With Cardross golf club to one side, the hills to the north and the views across the Firth of Clyde to the south, the garden provides a very peaceful and pretty setting.
