Could you be new lady of the Lodge?
This truly magnificent Georgian mansion is looking for a new lady of the house.
Twelve- bed Afton Lodge used to be the humble abode of Lady Afton, Catherine Stewart, a Burns devotee for whom the home was built in the 1790s.
The impressive Mossblown country house, tucked away only five miles east of Ayr, is extremely private and offers a long, sweeping driveway down to the house, which is formed over three levels and has two self- contained wings.
The principal accommodation is in the north wing, whose elevated ground floor has a broad and welcoming reception hallway, magnificent drawing room boasting a stunning bay window and Victorian fireplace, dining- sized kitchen, sitting room and study.
On the first floor there are five wellproportioned bedrooms including a master with en- suite bathroom, shower room and WC.
And on the lower level there is a stunning formal dining room to entertain guests, a secondary kitchen, two further bedrooms, a bathroom and wine cellar.
The south wing provides further accommodation extending to nine principal apartments and could represent an excellent opportunity to earn rental income or to be used as home offices.
The property is set in around 2.5 acres of mature gardens with a greenhouse, garage/ stable block, extensive views and plenty of gardening hotspots to grow vegetables, plants and flowers to your hearts content.
An ample gravelled parking space allows for several cars.
The property retains a wealth of period features including original staircases, fine traditional fireplaces, large Georgian windows and fanlights allowing natural light to spill into hallways, textured ceilings and decorative cornice work.
