Description

FURNISHED / AVAILABLE MID MAY - Without doubt one of the most impressive and historically significant homes to come to the rental market in recent times. 'The Mansion House' is set within Formakin Estate and is a breathtaking 'A' listed conversion of the original Formakin house. Formakin Estate is situated in the West Renfrewshire countryside and within close proximity you can find neighbouring villages of Bishopton, Houston and Kilmacolm. The house has been beautifully and sympathetically converted with the standard of finish combining historic, dramatic and contemporary features. Formakin Estate was started by well-known Paisley stockbroker, John Augustus Holmes alongside Sir Robert Lorimer. The house was never completed until the early 1900's when developer Kit Martin purchased the estate and embarked on the sympathetic but vast conversion. Formakin itself is set within extensive grounds and around the main house, some 7 acres of well-maintained formal gardens can be found. The gardens include a Fountain Garden, Walled Garden, Oriental Garden and an Orchard - with the walled garden owned by ' The Mansion House'. The estate itself furthers to extensive parkland and walkways. 'The Mansion House' is the largest of the original conversions and has been meticulously refurbished internally, and benefits from spectacular views across the gardens from almost every room within the home. Internally, the accommodation offers flexible family style living within a beautifully iconic building which offers an abundance of historical and period features. The photographs, video and floorplan will go some way to show the quality of the accommodation however viewers are encouraged to visit the property in person to fully appreciate the luxurious nature of this historically significant yet stylish home. In brief, the internal accommodation includes; magnificent entrance hallway, utility room, downstairs W.C, home office, modern and sizeable dining sized kitchen, 'Grand Hall' which is of magnificent proportions and also enjoys ornate fireplace mirroring that in Parliament Hall, T.V snug with adjoining gallery enjoying views to the Grand Hall, substantial principal bedroom with extensive wardrobe space and two modern yet traditionally styled en-suite bathrooms, four further double bedrooms spread across the two floors above and two further full bathrooms.
