An exceptional Category A listed Georgian mansion set within huge policy grounds around the White Loch of Myrton. The principal house offers grand period reception rooms, a bow-fronted library and multiple self-contained apartments across four floors, plus separate cottages and extensive mature woodland. The loch, boathouse and designed gardens are major amenity features and support wildlife, leisure and fishing.
This is a significant restoration and investment opportunity. Parts of the house are presented as six apartments with wiring disconnected in the upper floors; communal services and fabric will need comprehensive updating. EPC rating F and the listed status mean any works will require specialist consent and potentially high conservation costs.
The estate includes three let cottages and a recently renovated Kennels Cottage (sold as a separate lot if required), providing immediate rental income and flexible occupation options. The property is remote, with average mobile signal, fast broadband and long drives; practical running costs and access rights should be confirmed before purchase.
For buyers seeking an historic country estate with huge scope — conservation-led restoration, holiday/letting potential or a private family seat — this holding delivers scale, setting and provenance. Be prepared for lengthy permissions, substantial capital expenditure and ongoing maintenance associated with a Category A mansion and extensive grounds.
