Summary - MAINHOLM FARM, AYR, MAINHOLM KA6 5HD
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious rural holding with outbuildings and paddock near Ayr.
Three-bedroom Victorian farmhouse with period character
Mainholm Farm is a substantial Victorian farmhouse set in about 2.55 acres on the fringes of Ayr, offering a rare blank‑canvas country holding close to town amenities. The stone-built house retains period character, mature sheltering trees and a generous south‑westerly garden, with extensive stone outbuildings and adjoining grazing paddock ideal for equestrian or small‑holding uses. Recent practical upgrades include new double glazing, a modern heating system and partial rewiring.
The house is sold as a renovation project: the kitchen has been removed, the family bathroom requires replacement and further electrical and cosmetic works are needed throughout. The size and layout — two reception rooms, study area, wet room, utility and three first‑floor bedrooms — create scope to reconfigure living space or extend, subject to consents. The attached stone byres and former stable block provide significant development potential but conversions will require planning permission and investment.
Practical considerations are straightforward: broadband speeds are slow, council tax is described as expensive, and a development clawback applies to the paddock (details to be clarified). Access is private with a new gate and fencing being installed by the seller. The property benefits from strong transport links to Ayr (1.5 miles), Prestwick Airport (6.5 miles) and the A77/M77 to Glasgow.
This property will suit buyers looking for a character country renovation or a smallholding with scope to add value. It is not a turnkey home; expect a committed refurbishment programme and the usual planning and building costs where outbuilding conversion is proposed.
