A Carefully Restored Arts and Crafts House and Garden in Scotland
This gorgeous late Scottish Arts and Crafts house with an Edwardian garden is located in the historic central Scottish county of Dunbartonshire. Its owners have carefully restored the house, pairing period features like fine oak flooring, sash windows, and patinated doors with a subtle contemporary color palette that is mindful of the house’s hearty historic bones.
Light flows into the secluded home from all directions, creating wonderful spaces that can be enjoyed all day long. Surrounding the house lies a reinvigorated garden with rolling lawns, stoic firs, a weeping willow, and perennial blooms.
A long hallway connects all rooms on the ground floor. At the front of the house lies a charming sitting room with beige paneling and tripartite sash windows that offer views of the mature planting along the garden path.
In front of the windows hang apple green Marianna Kennedy blinds.
The dining room is a wonderful space with Arts and Crafts paneling and a fireplace with original ochre-colored glazed tiles.
The small windows on either side of the fireplace are painted in Farrow and Ball’s ‘Tanner’s Brown’.
The French doors at the back of the room open onto a decked terrace with views of the lush green garden.
The wooden kitchen cabinets are painted in Farrow and Ball’s ‘Card Room Green’. Green color accents return in the contemporary encaustic geometric patterned floor tiles by Fired Earth.
The house features two bedrooms on the ground floor and two on the second floor, which is a 1930s extension.
The grand bathroom has a cast-iron roll-top bath, a large walk-in shower, and a working open fireplace. The fixtures and fittings are by C.P. Hart, chosen carefully to reflect the historic design elements of the home.
The beautiful garden surrounds the house on four sides. Recently, the original landscaping scheme was excavated by the gardener, Luis Buitrago, and several romantic little pathways and hidden seating areas were uncovered.
The house is listed for £675,000 at Inigo.
