Moor House is an exceptional detached country residence set within about ten acres of landscaped grounds, including a private loch of roughly four acres. The house was originally built in 1936 and comprehensively extended and modernised in 2013 to provide flexible family accommodation across approximately 7,654–8,000 sq ft. Stand-out internal features include a turreted reception hall with spiral staircase, a large open living/dining/kitchen with patio access, a primary suite with balcony, multiple leisure rooms (cinema, gym, pool room with sauna) and a vast upper games/billiards space with bar.
The plot and outside amenities are a primary value driver: sweeping tarmac driveway with electric gate, dry-stone wall and mature hedging for privacy, extensive lawns and specimen trees, and a lakeside walkway. A converted garage/studio offers self-contained accommodation suitable for relatives or staff. A ground-source pump supplies significant on-site energy, reducing running costs and environmental impact.
Practical considerations are stated plainly. Broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is very expensive. The property sits in a wider area identified as having substantial deprivation metrics despite being in a comfortable neighbourhood location; buyers should check local services and insurance implications. Any additional building on the lower garden would require planning consent. The EPC is D.
This house suits an extended family seeking country living within commutable distance of Glasgow (under 30 minutes by car), or a buyer seeking a private small estate with potential for ancillary accommodation or further development (subject to consents). The property has been newly renovated but, given its size and age, ongoing maintenance and management of the grounds should be expected.
