Have you ever dreamed.…of living in the perfect home….in a tranquil location…and within easy reach…of excellent local amenities? Welcome to Ladeside House.

“Everything about this home says quality….” The Herald – Scotland’s Homes.

In a fabulous location in the heart of Skeldon Village, Ladeside House occupies the last plot of an exclusive development of bespoke properties in this unique and private location.

Ladeside House is an individually designed country house in a classic style and with a warm, luxurious and contemporary feel. Set within an easily maintained landscaped garden and woodland, extending to one acre, it has uninterrupted and stunning views over the River Doon and the Ayrshire countryside beyond.

Carefully crafted with a magnificent galleried staircase of solid oak, its 3900 square feet makes Ladeside House the perfect family home. There are five double bedrooms each with fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms, generously proportioned lounge (with wood burning stove), drawing room, dining hall, study, family room and large kitchen, with high quality German units, pantry and utility room. Appliances include 5-ring gas ceramic hob, 2 fridge / freezers, dishwasher, microwave combi oven, electric oven, plate warmer, washing machine and condensing tumble dryer. The master en suite features a spa bath with mood lighting.

All reception rooms and bedrooms have oak skirtings and door surrounds, cornicing and quality fitted carpets. The en suites rooms, downstairs WC, kitchen and utility room have wall tiles and fully tiled floors. The internal doors are by Luvipol, and are imported from Spain. The light airy feeling of the home is accentuated by the nine foot high ceilings on the ground floor. The house has been designed with stunning picture windows throughout making the most of the views over the River Doon and woodland.

Outside Ladeside House is accessed by a newly resurfaced private road leading to a large monobloc driveway. The house has a slate roof and features a smooth rendered finish with cast stone sills, mullions and quoins. The exterior is completed by a detached, matching double garage, with electric double door, a discrete access ramp leading to a deck area and Marshalls paving slabs surround the house.

For golfers, Ladeside House is within easy reach of many prestigious golf courses including Prestwick, Troon and Turnberry as well as the municipal courses of Belleisle and Seafield.

There is a popular racecourse in Ayr and excellent yachting facilities in Troon and Largs.

For anglers, there is salmon fishing available at the adjacent Skeldon Estate from which permits can be obtained.

The high quality of the workmanship of Ladeside House was confirmed when it was recognised as a finalist in The Herald Property Awards for Scotland – Luxury Home Category – see newspaper article below.

The hamlet of Skeldon on the banks of the River Doon comprises six family homes. A formal agreement with the local authority prevents further building on the site of the old village. Nearby the village of Hollybush has a popular Inn and local facilities can be found in Dalrymple (about 2 miles). Ayr Town Centre is some 5 miles away, which has all of the excellent amenities expected of a thriving town. The A77 / M77 road network allows efficient access to Glasgow and the Central Belt.

Directions: From the A77 Bankhead Roundabout, take the A713 (signed for castle Douglas) past Ayr Hospital and proceed to Hollybush. On entering Hollybush take the B7034 towards Dalrymple. After 400 metres turn left to Skeldon and follow the road down the hill, bearing hard left at the fork in the road. Ladeside House is 100 metres further on.
