Blairmore House is situated at the heart of Blairmore itself on the shores of Loch Long just along from the wonderfully restored Pier and ‘Old ticket office’. It is in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park with panoramic views of Loch Long and the Clyde.
It was built by the Younger family, founders of Benmore Botanic Gardens, in 1858 and has had a varied history and was owned for many years by Sir Hugh Highgate who made several changes and enhancements. After 1954 it was used for various purposes including as a nursing home and an hotel. It is now a listed building and once more a family home.
When we bought the house it had a Building Warrant for change of use back to a domestic house, but no Completion Certificate. Among other things we had to fully insulate every accessible void, put in a complete central heating system and replace the top floor windows (For which Listed Building Consent had to be acquired). We also completely gutted the kitchen area and built the present kitchen, had every sash window fully renovated and decorated the whole house inside and out.
With this and much other renovation work completed it is now a comfortable home retaining it's historical character.
