Dalarne is one of the foremost family homes within the conservation village of Rhu.
With its origins in the early part of the 19th century, Dalarne was commissioned by George Dennistoun (founder of the Dennistoun area of Glasgow and the Glasgow Bank) for his daughter and epitomises Georgian grandeur and contemporary living at its very best.
Privately situated less than half a mile from the shore line of the Gare Loch and Rhu marina, Dalarne was cleverly partitioned in 1978 - the original servants quarters forming an attached villa (only connected at the rear staircases) and extends to around 3,500 sq. ft.
Significantly enhanced by the addition of a 31' Mozolowski & Murray built double glazed conservatory to its southern gable, Dalarne is set within extensive, tree - lined grounds and affords views over the Gare Loch and beyond to the Rosneath peninsula.
The house has been appointed and maintained to an excellent standard and retains its numerous (and defining) architectural features including elaborate ceiling cornice plasterwork, curved staircase with wrought iron balustrade, moulded skirtings and architraves, 'period' fireplaces, and original internal doors.
Modernised in sympathy with its architectural heritage, the property comprises: entrance vestibule, broad 'L' shaped reception hall, impressive 25' x 16' lounge, family room, generous dining room ( all with lovely aspects over the extensive grounds), study, well equipped breakfasting kitchen, utility room, cloaks room/WC and superb 31' Mozolowski & Murray conservatory. Upstairs via a broad curved staircase leads to an illuminated landing with domed cupola, generous 25' x 16' master bedroom, further 4 double bedrooms, quality fitted family bathroom with roll topped bath and shower enclosure and additional shower room.
Dalarne is complemented by a broad ranging specification which includes: an alarm system, gas fired central heating system, marble fireplaces, quality sanitary ware, mixer showers, large garage and double carport.
Lying two miles to the west of Helensburgh, the desirable coastal village of Rhu is renowned for its community spirit. The village provides a reputable primary school, the Ardencaple hotel, parish church, local inn, post office, general store, park, marina and is home to the Royal Northern and Clyde yacht club.
Situated on the northern shore of the river Clyde, Helensburgh is surrounded by unspoiled scenery and offers an excellent train service to Glasgow, Dumbarton and Edinburgh. The birth place of John Logie Baird, the town provides places of historic and cultural interest and has been enhanced by the re-generation of its town centre with extensive street landscaping and river frontage.
The town offers a wide variety of shops, Waitrose supermarket, health care services, churches, banks, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, leisure centre and swimming pool. Sports and recreational facilities within the town include: rugby, cricket, tennis, bowling, football, golf and sailing clubs.
