Summary - 1 EASTER HIGHGATE, BEITH KA15 1HZ
5 bed 3 bath House
Spacious family home with large gardens and outbuildings.
Category B Listed early 19th-century stone house
Set in a prominent rural position outside Beith, this handsome Category B Listed stone house is arranged over three floors and offers generous family accommodation across approximately 2,295 sq ft. The current Lot 1 layout provides five bedrooms including a master en suite, a large kitchen/dining room, bright living room with French doors to decking, utility, and attic storage — all set within about 0.58 acres of lawned garden and grounds.
The house has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners and retains many traditional features, fine boundary walls and a detached double garage/workshop. The plot also includes a stone byre with previously granted planning consent (now lapsed) for conversion to a further dwelling — a clear opportunity for a buyer who wishes to revive consent or explore alternative uses, subject to Listed Building constraints.
Important practical points: the property is Category B Listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate works; the byre consent has lapsed; access drive maintenance is shared 50/50; council tax is described as expensive; heating is electric. The property sits in a remote, agricultural community and local services are limited, though Dunlop and Stewarton are within easy driving distance for schooling and rail links.
This is a well-proportioned family home for buyers seeking character, space and rural privacy, with scope for modest development or outbuilding reuse if Listed consent can be obtained. It will particularly suit purchasers comfortable working within historic-building regulations and rural management responsibilities.
