“Rothbury” is a stunning stone-built Victorian detached villa dating back to around 1865 and extending to over 2600 square feet. Located close to the centre of the quiet village of Kilcreggan on the Peninsula, the house is set amidst beautiful garden grounds. South facing, the property affords fantastic panoramic views across the River Clyde and beyond to the Isles of Bute and Arran.

Having been owned by the current owner for almost twenty years, the property has, over that time, been fastidiously maintained and upgraded, both inside and out. The impressive Home Report backs up this statement. Impeccably presented and featuring many magnificent period details, this lovely home combines period charm with a modern high-end specification. Offering versatile accommodation over its two floors, this home is well suited for the larger family.
