As the bond market recovers you are going to see a rise in mortgage rates. Don’t miss out on historic rates. Let’s talk about refinancing into a lower rate and possibly cutting some years off your mortgage. Those concerns have aligned a sharp rise in longer-term interest rates with the 10-year yield climbing 57.4 basis points since Aug. 4 to 1.089%. Wall Street worries a further increase in rates could be the breaking point. https://www.foxbusiness.com//stock-market-impact-rising-in

The Linn, Cove, Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire, Scotland c.1858. 5307 square feet. 7 bedrooms 3 baths on 3 acres. SOLD! Was listed for $381,000 approx USD Thanks t...o Tess for sending this one in! The Linn is a beautiful Victorian mansion house that occupies an elevated setting above the most beautiful gardens in the area. However, the property has sadly been neglected while the garden was nurtured and is now in need of significant repair and restoration. Built of stone and slate over two floors the floorplans depict a magnificent seven bedroom house with period features and huge character, waiting to be resurrected by a new owner. Wooden staircases, bow and bay windows, ornate cornicing and intricate stained glass windows can all be found intact within the house and form the basis of this outstanding property. Generous reception rooms and bright bedrooms are equally in abundance with a good balance of bedroom and bathrooms to form the perfect family home. Within the grounds a further cottage can be found which has undergone some initial restorative work but equally is in need of a guiding hand to finish. In doing so the Linn estate could be restored not only to former splendour but be transformed into an exceptional and utterly unique home once again. The Gardens The Linn is a rare example of a small, privately-owned garden created by two family members, which nevertheless meets internationally-agreed standards for a botanic garden collection. Its development was well charted in press accounts, and through the previous owners' own cataloguing system and newsletters. The development of the present gardens dates from 1970 and they now house a diverse collection of temperate plants. Features include a burn with waterfalls, formal and informal ponds, an open heath for New Zealand plants and a collection of insect catching plants. The botanic collection has a good representation of wild origin material of known provenance, together with eight recorded champion trees. The collection is diverse, well-documented and well-maintained, and contains some unusual and rare species, several of which are endangered in the wild. The centre of the gardens is dominated by a substantial cliff enabling fine views over much of the plantings. Among the more notable collections are ferns, bamboos, magnolias and an incredible collection of rhododendrons. Water Features The naturalistic, animated presence of Meikle Burn contrasts with quieter pools at Linn constructed by Dr Jim Taggart in the 1970s and 1980s. The long, rectangular lily pond at the top of the gardens was built in 1972 on the site of a hard tennis court, and its design is typical of this era. Meanwhile, a small pond within the garden terrace of Linn Villa contains insectivorous plants growing in sphagnum. To the south, a sequence of three circular ponds are set within the Bottom Garden. The largest is fifty feet in diameter and was completed in 1988 to help solve the waterlogging that occurred in this part of the gardens. A fountain was added in 1994, while adjacent planting includes rimulas, astelia, iris and rodgersias. Architectural Features & History The Linn, designed in 1858 by William Motherwell, stands at the centre of the botanic garden. It is a two-storey, rambling-plan, gabled Italianate villa of whinstone and sandstone rubble with harl-pointing. Its adjacent garden terrace was built by Dr Jim Taggart in 1974 using stone from the retaining wall of a croquet lawn. Spanning the Meikle Burn, the stone, single-arched Destiny Bridge was also constructed by Jim Taggart in 2000 as a millennium project and as a replacement for an earlier wooden bridge. It features a carved stone recording the algebraic formula that underpins the bridge's elliptical form. Other architectural features within the gardens include Linn Cottage, built in 1925, glasshouses above the house and at the plant sales area, and steps up the cliff constructed from cast iron colliery rail track. A small octagonal kiosk with red window frames located at the entrance of the nursery area was designed and built by James and Jim Taggart in 1996. A former summerhouse, also with red window frames, provides shelter at the edge of the bottom pond. Moved several times in its history, this summerhouse was once mounted on a revolving platform. Location The Linn is arguably one of the best known properties and (when allowed), the most visited gardens on the peninsula. While the architecture is of course stunning, it is the gardens that forged a firm reputation as a local favourite and were open to the public. The Linn occupies the most elevated part of the site and commands views to the west across the mountains of the Cowal Peninsula and southwest, over the Firth of Clyde and the island of Bute to the mountains of Arran. These views are now partially or fully obscured by mature trees and woodland. Although the gardens encompass a total area of only 1.25 ha. (3 acres), the steep rocky terrain and a serpentine path network create an illusion of much greater extent than in reality, and combine to afford glimpsed surprise views from #loveofoldscotland #RealEstate #oldhouse #forsale #architecture #historical #history (Information and photos are from the realtor's listing) See more
