Eglinton Gardens, Skelmorlie, North Ayrshire, PA17

A truly unique and exceptional property, this architect-designed villa was built by the present occupants in 1985 and is set on a generous quarter-acre garden plot. Offering breathtaking panoramic views across to Rothesay Bay, Toward Point, and down to Arran, this villa is an unmissable opportunity. Positioned opposite a woodland managed by North Ayrshire Council—bequeathed in perpetuity and protected from development—the villa enjoys both rear garden privacy and serenity in an enviable location.
