Ardgowan House, Category A listed mansion in Inverkip, Scotland

The symmetrical mansion features a three-story central block with a pediment and includes a basement, attics, and a Gothic Revival chapel in the northern wing.

The present mansion was constructed between 1799 and 1801 by architect Hugh Cairncross, replacing an earlier structure on lands granted to Sir John Stewart in 1403.

The estate contains gardens designed by James Ramsay, incorporating Victorian and Edwardian formal areas, a rose garden, and ornamental trees along broad grass walks.

Located near Lunderston Bay on the Firth of Clyde, the mansion stands 3 miles south of Gourock and 5 miles southwest of Greenock.

The property includes a lozenge-shaped walled garden and remnants of the 15th-century Ardgowan Castle, which served as a fortress in medieval times.
