Description

Longmorn House is a very attractive detached house located in secluded grounds adjacent to the Longmorn Distillery to the south of Elgin. Dating from the 1890s, this wonderful family home provides extensive and very well appointed accommodation over a single storey. The floor layout is such that the house offers enormous flexibility with many of the rooms lending themselves to a wide range of potential uses. Constructed of stone under a series of pitched slate roofs, architecturally, the house is very aesthetically pleasing and built in the style of a Victorian tea planter’s villa.

The house has many of the period features one would hope to find in a property of this age and character including tall ceilings with ornate cornicing and plasterwork, open fireplaces (three with in-built cassette style stoves) and hardwood flooring. In particular, the drawing room, billiards room / reception hall with a full height ceiling and exposed beams, study with a magnificent original built-in cabinet and the hall with delightful stained glass windows are very appealing rooms. The conservatory and sun room ensure the house has a wonderfully bright and airy feel. The covered verandah overlooking the front lawn is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the morning sun looking south-east towards the Brown Muir. The house is heated using oil central heating and is connected to mains water and electricity. It is partly double glazed and connected to a private foul drainage system.

Garden and Grounds

Outside, the garden and grounds are nicely screened by various mature trees and extend to about two and a half acres. The garden, which is partly delineated by an attractive stone wall and hedging, includes areas of lawn, mature amenity woodland with various rhododendrons and other shrubs. There is a useful adjoining garage as well as a sizeable detached garage / garden store with a roller door. Accessed over a tree lined sweeping driveway, ample parking space for several vehicles is available adjacent.
