Shelling out for Chestnut Cottage
A cluster of homes have been formed within the stables of the Gadgirth Estate near Annbank.
Sitting close to the River Ayr and under five miles from town, estate properties have been sold off over time and now there is a community amidst the trees.
A super- cute conversion at the mouth of the stables has been newly refurbished and ready for a new owner.
Chestnut Cottage is small, but has the wow factor of old stone and slate.
And a hay shed on the upper floor currently used as a walk- in wardrobe has the potential to become an en- suite to the master bedroom.
A second bedroom on the ground floor is 5ft 10ins by 10ft 9ins, so good for guests staying over.
The Ayr office of Slater, Hogg & Howison has just put it on the market.
The full- height arched main door where horses used to plod in has been cleverly retained and offers plenty of daylight into the lounge.
The lounge leads to the well- fitted kitchen which in turn has a glazed door to a private rear patio and tranquil country views.
The contemporary, newly installed, bathroom benefits from a suite comprising wash hand basin ( with storage under), WC & bath with electric shower over.
And the price for a lovely slice of country life? Offers over £ 110,000.
