Newton Street, Catrine, Mauchline, Ayrshire

Refurbished to exceptionally high standards, this traditional five-bedroom detached house is a stunning family home in true walk-in condition. It offers the perfect combination of period charm, alongside exquisite modern interiors that are sympathetic to the building’s historic character. It further boasts fresh neutral décor, brand-new carpets, a brand-new kitchen, and two brand-new bathrooms. Plus, it has private parking and a suntrap garden, as well as an idyllic setting in the Catrine conservation area.

Inside, a traditionally-styled vestibule and hall immediately establish the impressive credentials of this home. To the left, the living room enjoys pristine styling complemented by period cornice work and a ceiling rose, accentuating the height of the room. Spacious and elegant, it has a shelved recess for display items and a sweeping bay window for daily sun. In the all new dining kitchen, Shaker-inspired cabinets and metro splashbacks come paired with wood-toned worktops, including a return that doubles as a breakfast bar. Effective and eye catching, this fashionable look is further enhanced by ambient mood lighting and new seamlessly integrated appliances (oven, ceramic hob, statement extractor, and dishwasher). It is supplemented by additional built-in storage and a separate utility room with a new integrated fridge/freezer. Three double bedrooms are also on this floor, along with the new high-spec shower room which has marble-inspired tile work and a double walk-in shower.

From the hall, a traditional staircase rises to the first-floor landing where stained-glass windows bring further charm. The two remaining double bedrooms are here, one with generous storage, both with dormer windows. Like the other rooms, they are spacious and immaculately presented in white and with deep-pile carpets. Serving this floor is a new bathroom, which has an overhead rainfall shower and an equally high-end aesthetic as the shower room. The property has gas central heating, alongside a mix of traditional sash windows and some double glazing.

Externally, there is a lawned front garden and a fully-enclosed rear garden. The latter benefits from a southeast-facing aspect, neat lawns, and monoblock paving. Ample private parking is provided via a driveway and a large detached garage (with a neighbouring garden store).

Extras: all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.
