Braidwood House is a substantial Victorian property, formerly the home of Lord Clydesmuir who was the Governor/Viceroy of Bombay and whose son was the Governor of the Bank of Scotland in the 1970’s until his retirement in 1981. The property is arranged over basement, ground and first floors and is of traditional stone construction under a pitched slate roof. The original house is of significant architectural merit with a later extension constructed in the 1930’s.
Internally, the property benefits from attractive features including a galleried entrance hall, ornate cornices to some of the rooms and a music room with built in organ and impressive stone fireplace. The property sits in attractive mature surroundings and woodland policies extending to approximately 60 acres (24.28 hectares). The estate is accessed by a tarmac surfaced drive with street lighting leading from the east gate in Braidwood village. There are also accesses to the south and west. It should be noted that the lodge at the southern entrance is excluded from the sale. There is an annex to the rear of the main house, stable buildings, sheds and a brick built former garage within the grounds.
The house has been used for a number of purposes including a care home and rehabilitation centre, but would be suitable for a wide range of uses subject to the necessary consents, including a private residential house, care home, hotel or wedding venue.
