Auchengare is a notable 'C' listed country house, situated in the charming conservation village of Rhu, offering an appealing refurbishment opportunity. Set in a tranquil location on Station Road, this substantial property promises privacy while remaining close to local amenities and scenic coastal walks. The house requires extensive renovation and modernization, presenting a valuable chance for a new owner to redesign the layout to their specifications, subject to necessary planning permissions.
With its generous room sizes and traditional character elements, Auchengare provides a solid foundation for enhancement, whether through internal reconfiguration or potential extensions. The well-balanced accommodation spans two floors, making it suitable for family living and entertaining. Natural light floods the spaces, which hold promise for contemporary living improvements.
Surrounding the property are well-established grounds with mature vegetation offering seclusion and picturesque views throughout the seasons. The gardens include lawned areas, mature trees, and shrubs with ample potential for further landscaping. There is also an attached studio with a slate roof that could serve various purposes.
Originally built in 1867 and later modified into separate units before reverting to a single dwelling in the early 2000s, there may be opportunities for future development within the expansive garden grounds—subject to relevant planning consents. This property presents itself as an intriguing project for those looking to invest in a desirable area with rich lifestyle offerings including sailing, cycling routes, and proximity to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.
