Some homes are impressive by scale alone, but the most compelling estates are those that tell a story. Today’s featured property is one such residence, a house rooted in centuries of Scottish history, set within a landscape that feels both deeply private and wonderfully alive.

Old Ballikinrain House occupies a site believed to have been home to a residence since the 14th century. Carefully remodelled and refined, the house now offers around 9,500 sq ft of elegant accommodation that balances architectural gravitas with warmth and liveability.

Grand principal reception rooms showcase classic fireplaces, ornate cornicing and chandeliers, offering refined spaces for entertaining and quieter moments alike.

At its heart lies a breathtaking open plan kitchen, dining and family wing, a space crafted using timber sourced directly from the estate. Exposed Douglas Fir beams, a handcrafted oak kitchen with AGA, and seamless flow into a sun room create a dramatic yet welcoming hub for everyday living

The principal house is complemented by an impressive converted Coach House providing a three bedroom residence, and a modernised two bedroom gate lodge. Together, these buildings create a rare level of flexibility, ideal for extended family, guests, staff or income-generating use.

Outside, Approached via a sweeping drive through mature woodland, the house sits within beautifully curated formal gardens framed by box hedging, manicured lawns and herbaceous borders. Beyond, the wider 80-acre estate unfolds into mixed woodland, peaceful walking trails and secluded clearings that change character with the seasons.

Outstanding Feature: At the heart of Old Ballikinrain House lies an exceptional open plan kitchen, sitting and family room. A space that perfectly captures the soul of the estate.
