8 bedroom detached house for sale

Crubasdale Lodge is a truly exceptional find, nestled on the landward side of the A83, at the northern tip of the charming village of Muasdale on the magnificent Kintyre Peninsula. Just 15 miles north of Campbeltown, this exquisite Georgian/Victorian, two-storey villa stands proudly, set back from the road in just over four and a half acres of mature wooded grounds, and more formal gardens.

The property boasts glorious westward views over the vast expanse of the Atlantic, stretching out to the captivating Inner Hebridean Islands of Gigha (God's Isle) and beyond to Islay and the majestic Isle of Jura, and, to the south, Northern Ireland. Spectacular sunsets often paint the sky with an array of vibrant colours. The surrounding trees provide a splendid natural backdrop, enhancing the overall setting, and uniquely, the owner's title extends all the way down to the high water mark, offering direct access to the shoreline.

Originally a hunting lodge, Crubasdale Lodge is a superb example of traditional stone construction under a slated roof, exuding splendid appearance and character. The property has been lovingly maintained, retaining original features, which include a magnificent staircase and an exquisite marble fireplace with an elegant wood burning stove in the drawing room. The hall and study also offer delightful and welcoming spaces. This spacious villa provides comfortable accommodation across two floors, and benefits from oil fired central heating powered by a recently replaced boiler, installed just eight years ago. The well proportioned rooms are ideally suited for family occupation and use.

Adding to its appeal, a charming timber constructed cabin, situated to the north side of the main house was previously used as a self catering unit. This provides the potential for a valuable source of additional income or extra house guest accommodation.

The external features are equally impressive. A Victorian walled garden provides a sheltered area for vegetable beds and a range of unusual shrubs and trees. Several stone outbuildings include workshop, horticultural and garage accommodation offering limitless potential for hobbies, storage, or conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

While enjoying a scenic, rural setting, Crubasdale Lodge is not isolated. Day-to-day shopping needs are conveniently met by a well-stocked village shop within walking distance and a primary school is located 3 miles south in Glenbarr village. For virtually all other requirements, Campbeltown offers a comprehensive range of amenities including two supermarkets, a range of independent shops, and secondary education. Connectivity is excellent with a regular bus service to Lochgilphead and Glasgow. Campbeltown Airport is situated nearby at Machrihanish, providing twice daily weekday flights to and from Glasgow with an in-flight time of only 40 minutes.

Crubasdale Lodge is more than just a home; it's a piece of history, a sanctuary of natural beauty, and an idyllic retreat offering a unique blend of traditional charm, modern comfort, and great potential.
