Carleton Mains Farm, Lendalfoot, Girvan, South Ayrshire, KA26

Carleton Mains Farm is a fine detached bungalow with grazing land and buildings overlooking the Mull of Kintyre with stunning sea views across Ailsa Craig, Kyles of Bute, and Ireland.

The coastal town of Girvan lies about 6 miles to the north east, lying south of Ayr between the Galloway Hills and the sea and was originally a popular fishing port. The harbour, built within the mouth of the Water of Girvan, offers one of the few safe havens along the coastline, and remains active to this day. The town has a good range of local shops, supermarkets, recreational and professional services and has a local primary and secondary school. There is also a medical centre.

The main county town of Ayr (about 28 miles) offers a wider variety of shopping, restaurants and sports activities. Private schooling is available at Wellington School and offers exceptional all-round education from nursery to senior school.

The Ayrshire coast is famous worldwide for golfing with championship courses at Turnberry (12 miles) , Prestwick and Troon. There is also excellent sailing along the Firth of Clyde and the River Stinchar River offers salmon and sea trout fishing.

Carleton Mains Farm provides a rare opportunity for a purchaser seeking an idyllic private rural location in an elevated setting with superb views across the Mull of Kintyre and beyond.

The bungalow was built around 26 years ago on a single storey, with a tiled roof and render finish offering well-presented and spacious accommodation. Entering from the porch, this leads to the kitchen with fitted floor and wall units, single sink, integrated double oven and separate LPG 5 ring hob, with space for fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is a cosy sitting room with electric fire surround on a marble hearth, generous living room with bay window and spectacular views over the rolling Ayrshire farmland towards Ailsa Craig, dining room and conservatory with French doors to gravelled seating area, three bedrooms (master bedroom with en suite shower room) and family bathroom. There is a useful utility room with plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. The room layout and dimensions are laid out in more detail in the floor plans.

Situated in a private and secluded setting, the drive leads to a large south facing courtyard. Carleton Mains Farm is complemented by useful outbuildings and there is a well maintained lawned garden with a shelterbelt of trees.
