The property

Dunlop Manor was been Individually commissioned by Sir James Dunlop, by distinguished Glasgow architect David Hamilton in 1834, this stunning Scottish Jacobean-style manor house was home to Sir James Dunlop and certainly was one of David Hamilton’s favourite buildings. The property itself has a long history and fell into disuse and disrepair and was awarded its A building listing by Historic Scotland. An important feature of the property is the glazed self-cleaning atrium which floods the great entrance reception hallway with natural light. Set in level well-stocked grounds, almost hidden from view with a sweeping driveway that sets a grand stage for Dunlop Manor, is a particularly picturesque example of countryside living. It gives a glimpse of the quality features; this charming property has to offer and truly has to be seen to be believed. Although the property dates back to the 1800’s and despite its envious and characteristic external appearance and the perfect marriage of modern splendour and traditional charm. Apartment 8 itself is one of the largest properties within the development and offers superb accommodation formed over the second and third levels offering a duplex layout, with fabulous natural light and a very high-quality finish. To mention but a few, the fully fitted kitchen by Poggenpohl and quality integrated appliances, as well as gorgeous Silestone worktops, slimline wine coolers, under-unit lighting and Powerdock popup sockets.
