Nestled within established tree-lined grounds and built in the late 19th Century for the shipbuilder, Robert McMillan, Methlan House is a fabulous B-listed Victorian home with substantial accommodation of c. 3500 sq ft extending over 2 levels and retains a wealth of period features whilst offering spacious and flexible accommodation throughout.

Throughout Methlan House there are some stunning original features including moulded doors, architraves and beautiful cornice. One of the most interesting features is a stunning period fireplace in the kitchen which is decorated with tiles by Moyr Smith depicting themes from Walter Scotts writings. The current owner has spent considerable time and money carrying out many of the big jobs required (including overhaul of the roof) to bring a property of this stature to its current condition and although there are still some areas to work on the house provides a fantastic opportunity for the successful buyer. At the front a large tarmac driveway leading to the entrance and has ample resident and visitor parking areas, At the side of the property is the large lawned and fenced garden which is mainly lawned.
