Allerly House is an elegant listed Georgian country house set in about eight acres of formal gardens, paddocks and private grounds. The principal house offers six bedrooms, three main reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and an impressive cantilevered staircase across approximately 5,208 sq ft. A separate three-bedroom lodge and extensive outbuildings provide flexibility for guests, staff or additional accommodation.
The estate includes formal gardens, a kitchen garden, summer house, outdoor swimming pool, grass tennis court, paddocks and stabling — appealing to families and those seeking an equestrian or garden-focused lifestyle. The grounds also deliver long, unobstructed views towards the Eildon Hills and high levels of privacy.
There is clear development potential in the circa 1,752 sq ft outbuildings and the 3-bedroom lodge (approx. 1,038 sq ft), but the property’s listed status will impose restrictions and likely complicate alterations. Energy performance is poor (EPC E, 42) and broadband speeds are slow; upgrades and ongoing maintenance are probable with a house of this age and scale.
This is a substantial country home for buyers wanting a classic Georgian house with extensive grounds and flexible accommodation. It suits families, equestrian users or buyers prepared for conservation-led upkeep and regulatory restrictions associated with a listed building.
