Situation Auchengrange occupies arguably one of the finest positions in Renfrewshire with its elevated site overlooking Castle Semple Loch and the RSPB’s Lochwinnoch reserve, with Muirshiel Country Park and Misty Law beyond. The nearby village of Lochwinnoch offers a wide range of local amenities including restaurants, a direct rail link to Glasgow, a well renowned primary school and a popular local golf course. St Columba’s private school in Kilmacolm has both private junior and senior schools.
Glasgow, now widely regarded as one Europe’s most fashionable cities, can be easily reached by road or rail. Glasgow Airport is less than 10 miles away offering regular flights to other UK cities and international destinations.
There are a number of golf courses in the area including Kilmacolm, Ranfurly Castle and Old Ranfurly in Bridge of Weir as well as the famous Ayrshire links courses at Prestwick and Troon. The Clyde coast offers exceptional sailing with marinas at Inverkip and Largs. Other recreational facilities in the local area include Greenacres Curling at Howwood, the bird sanctuary at Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, cycling tracks, riding (there are stables nearby) and tennis at the David Lloyd Club in Renfrew.
