Bankbrae Farm B r i d g e o f We i r

5 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | 4 Public Rooms

An outstanding remodelled farmhouse with a confident contemporary finish, set in around 3.1 acres above the Gryfe Valley

Bankbrae Farm dates from 1850. The current owners remodelled and rebuilt it in 2010 to create a substantial two-level villa, with an interior and a setting that hold their own against any country residence throughout Scotland.

The specification runs to engineered oak flooring, slate floors with underfloor heating, a bespoke Porcelanosa dining kitchen and luxurious Porcelanosa bathrooms throughout. At approximately 5,311 square feet including the garage, the accommodation spreads across two levels and makes full use of the site and its topography.

The ground floor opens through an entrance vestibule into a grand hallway, where a semi-circular staircase rises beneath a bay window to the floor above. The layout is deliberately flexible, running to five bedrooms in all, three of them en suite.

Three of those bedrooms sit on this level, alongside a sitting room with twin French doors, a utility and a family bathroom, with a lift serving the upper floor. Two of them pair with the sitting room and their own en suites to form a self-contained annexe on the eastern side. To the west sits a triple integral garage with remote-control doors.

Upstairs is where the house makes its case. The drawing room runs to engineered oak flooring, with skylights drawing light down over a stone fireplace and log burner, and windows framing the woodland and fields to the rear. Off it are a home office and two further bedrooms, the principal a dual-aspect room with its own luxurious en suite shower room.

The open-plan Porcelanosa kitchen is the heart of the floor, with granite worktops and a black Aga, and bifolding doors opening onto a balcony that holds the best view in the house: gardens, farmland and Ben Lomond beyond. The dining room folds open from the kitchen for entertaining, and a cloakroom, lift and stores complete the floor.

The immaculately kept gardens sprawl across just over three acres of grounds, and are mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs giving privacy on every side. A fenced paddock lies to the north, planted with the same mix of established trees and shrubs.

Bankbrae Farm occupies one of the finest positions in the west of Scotland, with open, uninterrupted views across its own gardens and the farmland beyond, out towards Kilmacolm and Ben Lomond. The house stands privately within approximately 3.1 acres of gardens and paddocks, a short distance from Kilmacolm, Bridge of Weir and Quarrier's Village.

Kilmacolm is among the most affluent villages in Scotland, set on the north side of the Gryfe Valley.

Home to around 4,500 people, it takes its name from the dedication of its ancient church to St Columba of Iona. Both Kilmacolm and Bridge of Weir serve every age group, with golf, tennis, squash and bowling clubs among the local activities.

The village has a well-regarded primary school and St Columba's, the independent school with a long academic record. Other private schools across the west of Scotland include Glasgow and Kelvinside academies, The High School of Glasgow, Hutchesons' Grammar, St Aloysius and Craigholme.

Glasgow International Airport is within 11 miles, and the M8 gives fast links to the commercial centres of central Scotland. Golf nearby includes Kilmacolm, Ranfurly Castle and Old Ranfurly.
