Girvan ‘ palace’ that’s fit for a king
There are few places you could buy such a grand house in arguably the best street in town for a price like this.
The Avenue in Girvan is one. This six bedroom palace – called “Threave” – is on the market at offers over just £ 315,000. It even boasts an incorporated one bedroom flat where you could safely install granny. So it is certainly one for a large family. You get a horseshoe driveway and inside keeps the best of the traditional wooden features with kitchen and jacuzzi bathroom which are bang up to date. There are no less than four bay windows at the front, allowing wide angle views up and down The Avenue. As you would expect from pre- war villas, the scale of the rooms is large and also enhanced by a good ceiling height. Out front the lounge is 21ft 1in by nearly 15ft and across the hall is the 17ft 5in by 15ft dining room. The kitchen is dining sized with two walk in larders and access to a 13 ft laundry room. Half- way up the stairs at mezzanine level is the first of the six bedrooms and the family bathroom. The first floor easily has the potential to incorporate some ensuites. At the moment one of the big bedrooms is being used as an upper lounge. The one bedroom flat at the rear of the house is self contained with a kitchen/ dining room, separate lounge, shower room, wc and a double bedroom. There is an electric gate leading to the double garage at the rear, a substantial brick and slate roof structure. There is also plenty of space to park on the tarmac in front of the garage. The lawns are almost ride- on tractor size, at least that is what many men will tell their wives if they fancy zooming around out back. There is also a green house and the south facing roof has an array of solar panels to help with energy costs. Agent Bruach is seeking offers over £ 315,000, via 01655 331616.
