An impressive Victorian detached house recently renovated to retain its period character while offering generous modern living. The red sandstone façade, sash-and-case windows and ornate fireplaces give immediate kerb appeal, while the interior extends to roughly 4,747 sq ft across two floors with five double bedrooms and five bathrooms. The kitchen with Aga, conservatory and multiple reception rooms suit relaxed family living or entertaining on a grand scale.
The property sits within approximately one acre of mature, sheltered gardens with space suitable for a tennis court, an ornamental pond, summer house and extensive lawns. A double garage with internal access, utility areas, wine cellar and sweeping driveway add practical, everyday convenience. Broadband is reported as fast and the home has no flood risk.
Important practical points: the house is very large for typical downsizers and will demand ongoing maintenance of period features and extensive grounds despite recent sympathetic upgrades. Energy efficiency is rated EER D. The wider area is classified as deprived, and tenure is not specified — these factors may affect financing and running costs for some buyers. Mobile signal is average.
This is a rare, mature property for someone seeking character, privacy and wide outdoor space close to Ayr. Early internal inspection is recommended to assess scale, ongoing upkeep needs and how the house could suit reduced-mobility living or adapted layouts for retirement use.
