NEW TO MARKET
LIVING on the coast is an aspiration held by many people – and one home newly on the market could be the catalyst to strike now. This traditional lower villa on the Ayrshire coast at Seamill offers contemporary living with one-level family accommodation spanning almost 2,000 sq ft, landscaped gardens, single garage, private parking, epic views over the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran – and is only a short walk from both the railway station and long sandy beach.
Occupying the ground floor of a detached Victorian villa on Ardrossan Road, this home seamlessly merges the spatial proportions, grandeur, and architectural features of the period, with a high specification and move-in presentation.
Entered by a pillared covered porch and vestibule, an impressive columned reception hall paves the way to two front-facing public rooms. One is a 21ft bay-windowed living room with a cream colour palette, woodpanelling, elaborate ceiling rose, and classic fireplace (open fire), while across the hall and almost as large is a dining kitchen with side door access to the garden.
Further down the hall is a fully tiled bathroom, cloakroom and four bedrooms (three doubles and a single which is presently a home office). The largest of these is a principal suite with a luxuriously appointed en suite shower room, and separate dressing room with built-in storage and an unexpected bonus – garden access.
Closer inspection highlights a highend specification. The kitchen work area is designed around a central island and includes a gas range cooker, integrated appliances, and subway-style tiled splashbacks, leaving the remainder of the room for dining and seating – and like the living room, the window frames mesmerising views across the water to Arran.
The setting is also exemplary. To the front is a sizable central lawn and driveway, while the rear garden has a paved patio and expansive lawn bordered by mature trees.
Local amenities are excellent and include boutique shops, art galleries, exhibition studios, restaurants, hotels, primary school, 18-hole golf course, and railway station. Glasgow is also within easy reach – around 45 minutes by rail or car. If the seaside is calling, this home is for sale with Cecchini Property at offers over £349,000. Call 07734 205100 for details.
