Spectacular Renfrewshire family home with swimming pool
Description
Ravenswood is a superb detached Victorian villa of considerable character. The house dates from around 1872 and offers more than 10,403 sqft of accommodation over three levels. It is defined by its wonderful gardens and both period and contemporary features throughout. Etched stone gateposts lead through to a substantial block driveway and a separate single garage. The front door leads in to a vestibule and then to the impressive reception hallway, which is full of beautiful original features including wood panelling, exposed ceiling beams and a splendid staircase. Off the reception hallway is the sitting room, study, home office and rear access hallway. The rear hallway leads through to the extended portion of the home that includes the kitchen/breakfast room, garden room and dining room, all taking advantage of views over the garden. Off the garden room, French doors open to the leisure wing which includes a bar area complete with dance floor, a superb swimming pool with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and a gym. Finally there is a cinema room with overhead projector.
The family kitchen is a fantastic space with a full range of contemporary floor and wall units, high quality integrated appliances and a substantial dining area with large windows framing views over the garden. A utility room and laundry room are located off the rear hallway.
From the main hallway the broad staircase with ornate handrail and balustrade leads to the mid landing with access to three en suite bedrooms. The first floor has another two bedrooms including the luxurious principal suite which has twin en suite bathrooms and dressing rooms with plenty of built in storage.
The second floor comprises three further bedrooms, two of which have en suites and there is also a separate bathroom.
The grounds at Ravenswood are of particular note. The substantial plot is around 1.25 acres in size and includes expansive lawn surrounded by mature trees, hedges and shrubs providing superb privacy. A raised paved patio is located at the rear of the house with a path sweeping toward the bottom of the garden and an enclosed mini football pitch.
Location
Ravenswood occupies one of the finest positions within the much sought-after Renfrewshire village of Bridge of Weir. The village lies within the Gryffe Valley around 15 miles to the west of Glasgow city centre and just 6 miles from Glasgow Airport. To the east, Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, is approximately 60 miles away and can be accessed by train from Glasgow or via the M8 motorway, one of the country’s major trunk roads. Bridge of Weir is a beautiful and desirable village initially formed around cotton mills powered by the River Gryffe. Various local amenities are on offer including shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. Golf courses in surrounding locations include Kilmacolm golf club, Ranfurly Castle golf club and Old Ranfurly to the rear of the property. There is excellent sailing on the Firth of Clyde with yachting marinas at Largs and Inverkip. There are also good opportunities for field sports including horse riding, shooting and fishing. Bridge of Weir boasts an excellent range of schooling with Bridge of Weir Primary a short walk away. Ravenswood sits within the catchment for the highly regarded Gryffe Academy while the well-known St Columba’s independent school is located in nearby Kilmacolm. Additional private schools in the west of Scotland include Glasgow and Kelvinside academies, The High School of Glasgow and Hutchesons' Grammar School, to name a few.
