Messing about on the river

How about this one – previous owners of a by- gone era were the toll- masters. Without handing over some brass you did not get to cross the River Ayr.
Ford House in Sorn was built long before the fine bridge that carries the B713 to Catrine.
And it has a long sliver of banking and the rights to fish for some plump salmon from it – you could have the king of fish on your grill within minutes of coming out the water.
If there is not much of a splash coming from the river, then a double- sized Jacuzzi awaits inside.
The property is a semidetached – attached to the village store – and boasts five bedrooms.
