Lochbold

Period features, Victorian, stone built, tower, gardens, woodlands, lake, separate cottage Located 6 miles from Oban. 

Lochbold is a stunning Scottish Baronial house with an elevated position overlooking a large Loch on the West Coast of Scotland. The house is surrounded by a 30-acre woodland garden renowned for its collection of rhododendrons, magnolias, maples and sorbus, and sits in a 5,000-acre private estate. 

Externally the architectural features include crow-step gables and a square three-storey tower. These stone built towers and castellations give it a fairy tale castle feel.

There is an additional 4-bedroom stone cottage in the wonderful grounds. Internally the house’s 9 bedrooms and six bathrooms and grand Victorian proportions make it perfect for retreats and workshops, with plenty of eating and dining space. It would also be wonderful for films. All the rooms have exceptional fireplaces, huge windows, wood floors, and every period feature as you would expect. The wood panelled hall and stairs are particularly stunning, along with the huge kitchen with aga, and magnificent wood staircase. 

The 30-acre woodland garden is glorious, overlooking the loch and framed by 150-year old Scots pines. The setting here is stunning with access to the loch directly from grounds rich with ancient trees, shrubs, paths, walled garden and more. The views over the loch to the distant uninhabited hills are remarkable.
