Set within about 1.5 acres of mature grounds, The Old Mill House is a substantial stone family home blending period character with comprehensive recent renovation. The house offers flexible living across multiple levels — large reception rooms, a handcrafted kitchen with granite worktops and island, five bedrooms including a master with walk-in wardrobes and en-suite, and a lower-level sitting room with a wood-burning stove. Detached double garage and sweeping driveway provide secure parking and strong kerb appeal.
The plot is a major asset: extensive lawns, mature trees, a former stable block, a circular water fountain and the original mill race running through the grounds. The setting is private and rural yet within reasonable driving distance of A77 links to Glasgow, Prestwick Airport and nearby towns with rail connections — good for owners who need countryside tranquillity with occasional travel.
Practical strengths include recent comprehensive upgrading and modernisation, freehold tenure, fast broadband and no recorded flooding risk. Energy performance is modest (E), and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to budget for. Mobile signal is average and the area classification indicates an ageing rural neighbourhood; this property best suits buyers prioritising space, privacy and character over immediate access to urban amenities.
Overall this is a rare, newly renovated country house for families or owners seeking a large private estate with strong renovation quality intact, but ongoing running costs and rural location should be considered.
