Linkwood House, Elgin, Moray, IV30 8RD

McEwan Fraser Legal are delighted to offer a unique opportunity to purchase this category C listed seven-bedroom mansion house and ancillary buildings located on the southern outskirts of Elgin. This is a rare development opportunity as the property would benefit from modernization throughout, perfect for someone looking to put their own stamp on the property.

Originally starting life as a modest Georgian farmhouse circa 1750 the property was greatly extended around the 1850’s into a grand Victorian residence for the owners of the adjacent Linkwood Distillery, retaining to this day many original features and details.

The entrance vestibule takes you into the Victorian part of the property where the grand hallway and exquisite timber dog-leg staircase with barley twist balusters gives a taste of the visual delights within. Access is gained to the large sitting room and adjacent sunroom and across the hall to the equally spacious dining room which could cater for even the largest dinner parties. At the rear of the ground floor is the garden room which is full of natural light even on a dull day, an additional dining area is situated next to the kitchen. There is a WC and utility room on this level. Also on this floor is a self-contained flat with its own lounge, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

On the upper floor, the sleeping accommodation consists of the Victorian bedroom with original fireplace, the Fairy bedroom and the Colonial bedroom. Separated by the servants’ stairwell on the middle floor is the master Versailles bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom and separate family bathroom. The attic floor has two bedrooms, a lounge area and a box-room.

The extensive outbuildings previously had outline planning permission for conversion to a two-bed dwelling. The property is set in extensive and colourful garden grounds with lawn offset by many mature shrubs and trees.

Whilst it would be lovely if this beautiful house continued as a family home, it also offers many potential development opportunities.

The property further benefits from gas central heating.
