Updated Home Report in place (September 2025)
Glenlyon House is a substantial Victorian country home set in about 1.1 acres of private, landscaped grounds with far-reaching views to surrounding Argyllshire hills. The house retains many original features — sash-and-case windows, decorative cornicing, cast-iron fireplaces and a curved pitch-pine staircase — and is presented in good order across three floors. A detached double garage and sweeping gravel drive provide ample parking and useful outbuildings for family life or a small business.
The accommodation is generous and flexible: formal lounge with wood-burning stove and bay windows, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, utility, pantry and a large wet room (converted from a ground-floor bedroom). Five further bedrooms upstairs include one used as an upper sitting room and one as a study, giving scope for different family arrangements or conversion to guest accommodation for a Bed & Breakfast.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. The property has oil-fired central heating and an EPC rating of E (39), which may mean higher running costs and potential improvement work. Broadband and mobile signals are average for the area. As a substantial period building, ongoing maintenance and sensitive repairs to original fabric should be expected despite the house being well cared for.
Located in Dalmally, the house sits in a remote, rural community with basic local services, rail and bus links to Oban and Glasgow, and a nearby primary school. The setting offers privacy and a peaceful country lifestyle but is best suited to buyers comfortable with rural living and the responsibilities of a large period house.
