And Risborough House has its very own tower
The River Doon, more than any other on the west coast, is home to many a grand house on its banks.
Prominent and secret estates built in times of huge wealth lurk beside many a deep salmon pool.
This week we feature what could be your own mini palace complete with tower and views over the Bonnie Doon.
You may or may not have full fishing rights, but you can relax on your own private seating area and watch those silvery nuggets go by.
Risborough House sits above a slow meander of the Doon in the upmarket hamlet of Hollybush.
Both rooms in the feature circular tower have views to the river.
There are a number of similarly aged modern homes within this Hollybush enclave. If it is peace you are after, then you will get it, with the sound of the river exerting a calming influence.
This is a big house in a big plot, entered by a traditonal wooden five- bar gate onto a sweeping drive.
There is plenty of room for development including a 23- foot double garage and a 40 foot room in the house currently used just for storage.
And you get TWO staircases, one an oak spiral to reach the tower bedroom.
There are a total of four bedrooms at present, three receptions and three bathrooms.
The twin- aspect lounge has a “living flame” fire in a stone place and connects both to the dining room and a sitting room.
Prestwick- based Hoppers rightly say a viewing is advised to “truly appreciate the layout and superb setting of this exceptional home.”
The kitchen - dining- size at 19- and- ahalf feet with a patio door - has a utility room with more access to the back garden.
Hoppers add: “Bedroom four is 14- feet in diameter. This unique room is circular, with four windows curving to the rear looking across the River Doon.
“There is a large decked dining area and another grey chipped seating area beside the river, with a planted area with arbors and seating.”
