Edwin Lutyens, Architect, Rosneath House, Scottish Architecture, Date, Home

Scottish House by Sir Edwin Lutyens : Information

Ferry Inn, Rosneath, by Helensburgh, Scotland



The house was put up for sale in late 2004 by FPD Savills

Category A Listed House

Strictly Private
Location: edge of Gare Loch
Built: 1896/97 for Princess Louise, later Duchess of Argyll

Edwin Lutyens extended the original Ferry Inn that dated from around 1800. Edwin was only 27 when he started the project. The original Inn was later demolished. The house is in the Arts & Crafts style and has three rather different elevations.

Glasgow Buildings

Lutyens only designed two houses in scotland: the other is Grey Walls, which now forms a hotel, in Gullane.

Buildings in the general area:
Hill House by Rennie Mackintosh
Lomond Shores Balloch

In 1885 Lutyens became a student at the Kensington School of Art but did not last the course. He joined the office of Ernest George and Peto where he made friends with chief assistant Herbert Baker; he was later to collaborate with him in the building of New Delhi.

He started work as an architect in 1889 and married in 1897. Sir Edwin Lutyens died in 1944.

Lutyens made his name designing English country houses in the arts & crafts style, working with garden designer Gertrude Jekyll.
