Burnhouse, a four-bedroom house dating back to the 17th century, has been listed for sale on the outskirts of Galston, East Ayrshire. The property, which includes an adjoining two-bedroom cottage, is being marketed by Galbraith for offers over £695,000. The Burn Anne river flows through the garden, adding to the property's charm.
Property Features and Renovations
The main house has been tastefully refurbished and comprises three elegant reception rooms, a conservatory, a dining kitchen, four bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, and a cloakroom. The cottage features a sitting room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a storeroom. The conservatory offers lush garden views, while the kitchen includes an Aga, Norwegian granite worktops, a Belfast sink, and stylish units.
Landscaped Gardens and Outbuildings
The idyllic garden provides a peaceful haven for herons, ducks, and dippers, with a picturesque wooden footbridge draped in flowering climbers as a focal point. The grounds include an orchard of apple and pear trees, as well as copper beeches, limes, fir, birch, and willow. Climbing roses, azalea, and rhododendron enhance privacy. A large restored stone outbuilding opposite the main house offers potential for a workshop or additional holiday cottage. A courtyard made from reclaimed bricks and flagstones, a greenhouse, and a potting area are also present.
Location and Connectivity
Burnhouse is located near Galston, which offers primary and secondary schooling, local shops, and amenities. Kilmarnock provides broader services. Glasgow is approximately 25 miles away via the M77, and Ayr is 16 miles away. Natalie Fotheringham from Galbraith stated: "Burnhouse combines elegant and attractive accommodation, beautiful gardens, great privacy and an ideal edge of village location, which is also accessible to Glasgow and the coast of Ayrshire. The self-contained two-bedroom cottage lends itself well to holiday letting, for multi-generational living, or for visiting family and friends. The separate outbuilding has excellent potential for a variety of uses, perhaps as a workshop or additional holiday cottage, and is a further asset to this delightful property."
