One of the most recognisable and iconic detached villas in Drymen, The Hawthorns was built in 1873 by The Duke of Montrose and has been successfully run as a Bed and Breakfast, regularly achieving the number 1 position within the area.The Hawthorns also benefits from a separate 2-bedroom cottage located within the grounds. This
offers a great deal of flexibility to have a family home, with an additional cottage rental income, or to run The Hawthorns again as Bed and Breakfast and stay in the cottage. You may also like a family
home with separate cottage, perfect for elderly parents that wish to downsize and live with the family, but also enjoy their independence.
