Stobieside House retains a great deal of periodic features, including crow-stepped gables and turrets also making a good balance with modern requirements for a working family home or it could be transformed into the perfect wedding venue/small hotel.

It is complemented by a host of integrated appliances and a scarlet AGA. The formal dining room will be popular when entertaining. It's easy to imagine the evenings of good company and fine dining this zone has played host to. Another impressive room is the beautiful wood-panelled drawing room along with the barrel-vaulted former billiard room with herringbone parquet flooring and decorative friezes. Also pleasantly located on the ground floor level is the well-appointed study/home office, cloaks/WC, studio, gym, utility room, boiler room and downstairs toilet. Journeying upstairs, the crisp and contemporary styling continues. On this level, you will discover seven well-proportioned bedrooms, four of which boast impressive ensuites, an envious dressing room and a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms are bright and airy with a range of furniture configurations and a space for additional free-standing furniture. Any of the rooms within the house can be transformed to meet each individual purchaser's needs and requirements. Externally, the garden grounds play a big part in this grand home. Generous grounds are synonymous with the luxury inside, completing this tranquil country home. Vast manicured lawns and a wide variety of trees frame the house. A garage and driveway provide excellent parking provision and not to mention the jaw-dropping open aspects to the front over Loudoun Hill and beyond.
