Crawfordston Farm, Kirkmichael, South Ayrshire, KA19

Outstanding, converted period farmhouse with 11 acres, outbuildings and annexe

Description

Crawfordston Farm is a stunning former farmhouse and steading offering extremely adaptable accommodation internally and versatile gardens and grounds externally. The property has been well-maintained throughout and in its current configuration has five bedrooms, one of which is in a self-contained annexe apartment, and no fewer than five reception rooms along with a stunning kitchen.
The home is constructed of sandstone and granite under a slate roof and along with outbuildings forms a U-shape with a central courtyard. The numerous outbuildings, along with just over 11 acres of land, offer great flexibility and the potential to create a small equestrian facility, smallholding or rural lifestyle business.

Internally the property has been refurbished in a traditional farmhouse style and is presented to an excellent standard, with accommodation spread over two levels with around 5,418 sq ft of space excluding the outbuildings.
The ground floor begins with the main hallway where a staircase leads to the first floor with open mezzanine landing. A WC and storage room are located directly off while a door opens to an impressive and expansive dining kitchen which is well appointed and benefits from a dark blue AGA, separate hob and oven, a range of wall and floor mounted cabinets and a mix of granite and quartz worktops designed around a centre island with sink. The dining area has plenty of space for a large table and chairs and benefits from dual aspects onto the garden with French doors leading out. An open archway leads through to the dining room which has an attractive exposed stone wall adding character. Off the dining room is an internal hallway with a second staircase, WC and an outside door.

The cosy snug with woodburning stove, study and formal sitting room with French doors and open stone fireplace are located beyond the internal hallway. The adjacent conservatory/sunroom is a wonderful bright and airy space thanks to the large French doors opening to the courtyard and the substantial Velux windows filling the space with natural light. There is a door from here into the annexe.

The annexe offers fantastic versatile space with a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom, all with views of the garden. An additional store room, utility room and WC complete the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from excellent storage and a luxurious en suite bathroom with twin washbasins, freestanding bath and large Velux windows. Extra storage, a shower room and family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.

Externally, Crawfordston Farm occupies an enviable secluded position in the heart of the beautiful South Ayrshire countryside and is surrounded by a mature garden which is mainly laid to lawn. To the front the garden has been beautifully planted and has a wraparound terrace offering uninterrupted views. Accessed from the courtyard, the former byres offer superb storage and development potential with separate garaging for two vehicles. The home office is positioned above the garage and provides an excellent working facility, allowing the separation of work and home life.

Finally, on the opposite side of the road, a spacious modern barn/tractor shed offers further storage but could easily be converted into stables as it has been designed with equestrian facilities in mind, with hard standing and easy access to the paddock behind.
