Property description
Coast Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented character property built circa 1729. Located in West Kilbride, it's very close to the beautiful sandy beaches of the Ayrshire coast, yet with excellent rail and road links to Glasgow and beyond. This charming property retains many original features including cornicing, internal window shutters, deep skirting boards, solid doors, antique locks and ceiling roses. The accommodation is over two levels and extends to lounge (with wood burning stove) formal dining room, guest bedroom with adjacent WC/shower room, breakfasting kitchen and utility room on the ground floor. An impressive original stone built spiral staircase with additional WC, leads to the upper floor which accommodates the large master bedroom with spacious luxury dressing room, bedroom three, family bathroom, family shower room and an office/study. The property also benefits from sash and case design UPVC double glazing throughout which is in keeping with the original character of the house and numerous large cupboards for family storage.
To the rear of the property is a stunning landscaped private garden which is a combination of mature shrubs, perennial flowers, original stone paved patio area and a lawn. A gate from the driveway gives access to the courtyard which is laid to stone chips and offers parking for up to three vehicles as well as access to the double garage which has an electric up and over door. The garage also benefits from having a workshop to the side which has plenty of power sockets. There is an additional work shed with power supply and a well-constructed large log store in the back garden. The property also comes with the added advantage of having a large floored attic space with Velux window, power and light which could be put to a number of uses.
Properties in this condition and with this amount of character and charm are few and far between, so to avoid disappointment we recommend that an early appointment to view is arranged.
