AYRSHIRE’S property market offers abundant choice but, more importantly, good value for money compared to similar property styles in the city suburbs. One example is a detached, four-bedroomed cottage set in expansive gardens on Patna Road, in the South Ayrshire village of Kirkmichael.

Meticulously upgraded in recent years by the present owners, this home warrants the adage ‘has to be seen to be appreciated’ on all levels, from its location (rural but only a 15-minute drive from Ayr town centre and beach), flexible accommodation (spanning 2,600 sq ft over two floors) and internal specification (Aga, energy efficient biomass heating system, 20ft conservatory opening onto a patio and outstanding rear garden –the property also has a substantial driveway and detached double garage with light and power). The ground floor is accessed via a porch and L-shaped hallway with flagstone floor (also cloakroom and built-in storage) off which is a 21ft living room with triple windows to the front and rear, adjoining formal dining room with an exposed stone fireplace wall and a superb 23ft openplan dining kitchen/family area with double doors opening into the conservatory. There is also a utility with external access.

Off the upstairs landing – which is fitted with a full wall of built-in storage – are four good-sized bedrooms (20ft master with multiple fitted wardrobes and full en suite bathroom with separate shower, while the fourth bedroom is presently used as a home office) and family shower room.

For sale with Donald Ross in Ayr at offers over £295,000.

Spanning 2,600 sq ft and extensive gardens, this family home has been upgraded to bring it bang up to date
