Hollybank Lodge is also clad in Siberian Larch and has a zinc finish barrel-top roof. The house has a split-level ground floor configuration including an entrance hall leading to three key living areas facing the loch, with doors opening onto a wraparound viewing deck housing a hot tub.
These include a 29ft open plan kitchen/diner/ sitting room, and adjacent formal dining room, the latter partially open plan and with steps down to a triple-aspect drawing room. This level also houses a utility, cloakroom and shower room.
