Ardpatrick House, Category B listed house in South Knapdale, Scotland.
Ardpatrick House is a two-storey Georgian mansion in South Knapdale with five wide windows set into harled stone walls. The structure rises to a slate roof with two dormers and displays carefully finished corner stonework.
The present structure was built in 1769 to replace an earlier fortified dwelling and served as a clan seat for Angus MacAlester. John and Thomas Menelaws, builders from Greenock, designed this modernized residence for the Highland landowner.
The estate represents the architectural evolution of Scottish country houses, combining Georgian design elements with traditional Highland building techniques.
The house is situated in a remote rural location in Argyll and Bute, making it best reached by personal vehicle. Access to the grounds is limited, and visitors should check in advance about viewing opportunities or opening times.
The house retains original ashlar chimneys and corner stonework across its exterior. A central projecting pavilion with a balcony reached by exterior stairs reflects architectural details from its original construction.
