This rarely available Victorian sandstone semi-detached villa sits elevated with open countryside views to the front and generous, period-proportioned rooms throughout. High ceilings, bay windows, ornate coving and a handsome balustrade retain strong original character while offering a solid base for modernisation. The property is Freehold and large (approx. 1,549 sq ft), with flexible living including a ground-floor room that could serve as a fourth bedroom.
The house requires renovation throughout: the bathroom is dated and ripe for redesign, services have not been tested and no warranties are given, and the property is sold in its present condition. There is significant upside for a buyer prepared to refurbish — the extensive cellar is divided into compartments and offers real potential for conversion or extra storage, subject to consents. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Positioned in Newmilns’ quiet, semi-rural setting within the Irvine Valley, the home offers easy access to local shops, schooling and commuting routes to Kilmarnock and Glasgow. The surrounding land and garden provide a peaceful outlook and scope to create a south-facing or landscaped outdoor space. Note the local area scores high on deprivation indices, which may be relevant for some buyers and for future resale considerations.
Suitable for a family or buyer seeking a character home to modernise, this property presents an opportunity to create a bespoke home with substantial period charm and countryside views. Practical matters — single bathroom for three bedrooms, renovation needs, and no tested services — should be factored into budgets and timelines.
