Cairnsmore is a substantial Victorian detached family home set within roughly an acre of mature, wooded gardens on Manse Brae, Lochgilphead. The house balances generous living and sleeping accommodation across two floors, with period features, a recently replaced roof and a large conservatory that brings the garden into daily use. The majority of windows are double glazed, helping with year‑round comfort, and generous off‑street parking is provided by a long gravel drive.
The interior provides flexible family living: a formal sitting room with fireplace, a dining room, a fitted kitchen opening to a large family room and ground‑floor bedroom with dressing room and shower room—useful for visitors or multi‑generational living. Upstairs are three large bedrooms, one en‑suite, a family bathroom with separate bath and walk‑in shower, and extra storage. The property’s size (about 1,739 sq ft) and room count (around 11 rooms) suit a growing family or buyers seeking space and character.
Outside, the very large plot is a key asset. The grounds are private and secluded and previously had planning permission for a separate dwelling (now lapsed), offering potential for future development subject to obtaining new consents. A substantial stone outbuilding on site requires refurbishment but could be converted to a workshop, office or ancillary accommodation. Mobile signal is excellent, though broadband speeds are reported slow.
Notable constraints are factual: the planning permission has lapsed and would need re‑application for new build potential, the outbuilding needs significant work, and the tenure is unspecified in the details provided. The area is described as relatively deprived, which may affect resale considerations. Early viewing is advised to assess condition and scope for modernisation or further planning.
