The spacious fitted kitchen has a four-oven gas Aga and a large walk-in larder; a butler's pantry has extensive storage, and there is also a wine store and a laundry room. On the first floor the master bedroom suite features a terrific original roll-top bath; there is a guest suite and three further bedrooms are served by a bathroom and a shower room.
Outside, outbuildings include a substantial garage block and workshop with two semi-detached cottages, both of which are currently let.

The stable block has planning consent for conversion to a three-bedroom cottage, while the extensive formal gardens are particularly noteworthy, with sweeping lawns and mature trees, and an enclosed area to the rear of the house. A separate area extends to around 10.5 acres and includes the 6 acre naturally stocked trout pond.
Bridge of Weir is a conservation village in the pretty Renfrewshire countryside with a good range of local shops and services and a primary school. Glasgow Airport is just eight miles and the City centre 17 miles.
The guide price is £1.7m. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 0131 222 9600 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
