ONE of Scotland’s most “magnificent period homes” located in a picturesque village has hit the market.
The five-bedroom grade B-listed property, built in 1913, and located in the village of Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire, has gone up for sale for £1.75 million.
The building has been described as one of the “finest” examples in conservation architecture as it was extensively renovated in 2014.
The famous architect James Austen Laird designed the home in a late arts & crafts style, which was a movement in architecture in the 19th century aimed at re-establishing the skills of craftsmanship threatened by mass production.

The house also recently underwent another rejuvenation project as modern finishes were added which pair seamlessly with the gothic-inspired original features.
Not only does the stunning home boast five bedrooms, five bathrooms, flexible games or cinema room, it also has a stunning view of Knapps Dam.
Gordon McGuire of Corum Property, the estate agent entrusted with the sale of the home, has said the renovation of the building is “spectacular”.
He said: “Greystones is a breathtaking home, it really is something truly special.
“This is a home that has been loved, adored and brought to life by the current owners - it’s full of character.
“The owner worked closely with Anna Campbell-Jones on the interior design, and the outcome is spectacular. The original features blend beautifully with pops of colour, exquisite craftsmanship and a layout that flows wonderfully.
“Greystones presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable note in the picturesque village of Kilmacolm, one of the most coveted addresses in Scotland.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
