A peaceful property near a loch with its own boathouse

Duntaynish House near Lochgilphead is the perfect secluded family/holiday home in an exquisite location.

Overlooking its own private lochan in Tayvallich, Knight Frank present this beautiful property.

The house was designed by the architect George Pease for his father, 2nd Baron Gainford. It is a wonderfully light and airy property which can be run as either a single house or, as at present, as a main house with a separate wing allowing the potential to derive income from self-catering rentals.

Duntaynish House offers privacy away from the hustle and bustle of every day life

The accommodation of the main living area comprises an entrance hall off which there is a cloakroom and a separate wc. From the hall a door opens into the spacious main sitting room with dining area which has large windows with outstanding views over the grounds towards the lochan and Loch Sween and also an open fire.

There is a fully fitted kitchen, with Aga, and space for a dining table and a door opening to the rear lobby/utility room. Two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the accommodation on the ground floor.

At first floor level there are two further bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc with numerous storage cupboards. The wing includes a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor with a landing and bedroom on the upper floor, making five bedrooms in total for the whole house.

Forming an integral part of the house are two garages with up and over doors and a free standing outbuilding housing the water storage tanks, water filtration plant and log store.

The house is approached from the minor public road through entrance gates and over a private drive which ends in a large parking area to the side of the house. The house is surrounded by extensive wooded grounds that feature specimen azaleas and rhododendron providing
a seasonal blaze of colours.

The oak forest provides excellent privacy and enormous amenity that is further enhanced by a private lochan extending to about 30 acres and has a pretty summer house with jetty.
