4 bedroom detached house for sale

Step into something a little different with this remarkable detached lodge house — a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Paisley’s architectural heritage. Designed by the celebrated Scottish architect William Leiper and constructed in 1900 as the gatehouse to the grand Moredun House, this B-Listed property exudes charm, character, and timeless appeal.

Set within a mature garden and built from striking pink sandstone, the home offers an unexpectedly generous and flexible layout arranged over three levels — combining original period features with thoughtful modernisation.

Ground Floor

Beyond the characterful entrance doors, you’ll find a welcoming hallway leading to a handsome lounge with exposed ceiling beams, a deep box bay window, and a wood burning stove— creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. There is also a family room (currently used as a ground floor guest bedroom) which is equally rich in period charm, with hardwood flooring and a traditional fire.

A separate dining room overlooks the garden and continues the period styling with timber beams and another fireplace. The modern kitchen offers a fresh contrast, fitted with sleek white units, a timber worktop, and integrated appliances. A contemporary three-piece bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upper Floor

The upper level comprises two newly renovated, well-proportioned bedrooms, both full of natural light. The dormer windows allow good head hight and pleasant views. Storage space is available in the accessible eaves area. The entire upper floor benefits from room-in-roof insulation.

Lower Ground Floor

The lower level offers a more modern, bright aesthetic — ideal for guest accommodation, a home office suite, or flexible family living. It includes two further bedrooms, a stylish tiled shower room, and a spacious utility/boot room with direct access to the garden.

External

The mature garden is rich with character, featuring stone pathways, a lawn area, and a timber outbuilding ideal for storage or workshop use. A private driveway provides off-street parking.

The property benefits from gas central heating and a mix of glazing, including original leaded windows, double glazed units and secondary glazing.
