In the sought-after commuter village of Kilmacolm to the west of Glasgow lies an opportunity to embark on a new project and totally renovate a B Listed building which was first constructed in 1899.

This property is on sale for £3,000,000 and is marketed by Knight Frank, Edinburgh, via OnTheMarket. 

Formerly known as Balrossie Children’s Home, the property has multiple rear extensions alongside a two-storey villa annexe which could provide additional accommodation once work is complete. 

As the building was originally completed at the end of the 1800s, it was finished in the Scottish Renaissance style with gothic accents, however it is now ready to be renovated to the taste of its new owners.

Outside, expansive land can be found as a paddock, former playing fields and a wooded garden provide yet more potential for transforming the space into something truly special.
