Description

An outstanding modern country house, privately situated in beautiful wooded grounds.

One of the most stunning homes to come onto the Ayrshire market in many years.


Location

Gadgirth House is on the site of the original mansion, the centrepiece of the historic Gadgirth Estate.

First references to the Estate date from the beginning of the 14th century when the lands were in the ownership of the Chalmer family, whose name derives from the office of Great Chamberlain of Scotland which family members held.

The Estate was in the Chalmer family ownership until 1761 and was eventually sold around 1800 to Colonel Joseph Burnett, an officer of the East India Company who replaced the crumbling old castle with a substantial Georgian mansion.

After a series of owners last century, the Estate was sold at auction in a number of lots and the mansion and 12 acres was purchased by Ayr County Council for £20,000 in 1949. It was used as a childrens home until 1968 when it was closed and demolished the following year.

The site was looked after by Mr and Mrs Hamer for over 20 years until 1993 when the estate was purchased by Iain and Karen Hendry who have restored and regenerated this unique and historic site including the new build of this beautiful home in 2005.

Description

One of the finest modern country houses in Ayrshire, Gadgirth House was built in 2005 by award winning builders who deliver bespoke homes across the UK embracing traditional building methods with the most up to date features and technology.

Gadgirth is built with a Green Oak frame. The exposed oak beams and rafters give the house its special character and ambience.

With over 5317 sq ft of accommodation, this is a wonderful family house in the most beautiful of settings surrounded by mature woodland overlooking the River Ayr.

Particular features include the magnificent 40 ft Barn Room and a superb leisure suite which includes a level deck swimming pool and shower area, sauna and gymnasium.

The private grounds of 9.24 acres provide the most tranquil and peaceful of environments. The lovely woodland contains some magnificent mature specimens encircling the house with south facing gardens which stand on a ridge overlooking the river. A delightful stream runs through the grounds and there are paths and walks down to the river.

The house was featured in the Christmas edition of the 25 Beautiful Homes Magazine.

ACCOMMODATION

From the public road, the entrance is through private electric gates along a tarmacadam drive with lighting through the wooded grounds to the courtyard. The property has a fully integrated security system with gate intercoms, alarm and CCTV cameras.

Visually very appealing, the house combines natural stone, render, oak, cedar and slate externally.

Inside the particular character and quality of Gadgirth with its oak frame becomes immediately apparent. All the doors are also solid oak. The entrance porch leads to the hall with white marble floor tiles. The open plan kitchen/dining/sun room is the heart of the house. South west facing, this space is flooded with light and overlooks the terrace and gardens. The fully fitted kitchen is hand made and painted.

The Barn Room is an extraordinary room with vaulted beamed ceiling and gallery, a striking Portuguese limestone open fire place, solid oak flooring, full surround sound entertainment system with big screen. This is a wonderful room for special occasions and entertaining.

A cosy family room with wood burning electric effect stove also opens to the decked terrace.

On the first floor of the main part of the house is the master bedroom suite which also includes dressing room, the gallery/snug overlooking the Barn Room, study and ensuite bathroom with spa bath and drench power shower.

4 bedrooms, all en suite with integrated cupboard space lead from the hall to the leisure wing. This double height vaulted room with full oak frame contains a full traditionally built 10m x 5m level deck swimming pool with sauna, shower and wash area and a separate gymnasium. In the summer the wing can be opened out to the south facing deck courtyard.

A fully floored attic provides access to the pool gallery and has scope for further conversion.

OUTSIDE

There is a large double garage with oak frame feature and fully automated doors.

The historic setting of Gadgirth House and its mature secluded grounds are one of the property's defining aspects. Fishing on the River Ayr is included. The terraces, decking and courtyards around the house, complete with hot tub and built in TV, enable its owners to enjoy these lovely grounds. In the Spring there is colour from snowdrops, bluebells, crocus and the borders have a selection of flowering shrubs and herbaceous perennials providing character all year round.
