Garthland Lodge, Lochwinnoch

This detached four-bedroom lodge sits on the rural outskirts of Lochwinnoch, within approximately 0.9 acres of private garden grounds. The traditional stone-built original house has been extended with two substantial wings, creating a mainly single-level layout. The setting is close to woodland and countryside, with Lochwinnoch and its local amenities nearby, as well as the RSPB Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve and Castle Semple Loch. The property is currently uninhabitable following flood damage and has been stripped internally, with floor and wall finishes removed. Substantial renovation and reinstatement are required. Flood defence measures have been installed, but buyers should investigate the flood history, residual risk and the effectiveness and maintenance of those measures. The property is being sold to cash purchasers only, as mortgage finance is not currently available in its present condition. The previous accommodation included a reception hall with full-height arched windows, a split-level lounge and dining room extending to over 34 feet, a dining kitchen, four double bedrooms, an en-suite bedroom, a further bedroom with en-suite W.C., and a family bathroom. The existing footprint may allow reinstatement or reconfiguration, subject to any necessary consents. Outside, the grounds include a private gravel driveway, extensive off-street parking and a detached garage. A rear courtyard, vegetable-growing areas and garden storage were also part of the previous arrangement. The property is presented as a substantial restoration project, with the scope and cost of works requiring careful investigation before purchase.
