About this 4 - Flat
This impressive main door upper conversion forms the entire top floor of a substantial and imposing red sandstone detached Victorian Mansion House which is set between spectacular views of Conic Hill and Loch Lomond. The property has its own main double door access to the front of the building and has timber framed double glazed windows fitted. The property has a natural slate hipped roof and is category’c’ listed. The building is steeped in history, having been built by the Duchess of Montrose in 1891 to provide a country escape for “poor” children from the grim conditions of industrial Glasgow at the time – giving rise to the term “fresh air fortnight”.
