Main Road, Crookedholm, Kilmarnock, KA3

There is a distinct sense of scale and quality to this home that you simply won't find in a modern housing development. Custom-built in 2006 by the current owner, this individually designed detached villa occupies a prime position within the historic, leafy grounds of Glendoune House, a striking mid-19th century sandstone country residence. Offering a extremely generous 2,750 square feet of living space, the property manages to be both grand and incredibly welcoming simultaneously.

The first thing you’ll notice isn't just the size, but the staggering versatility of the layout. The ground floor kicks off with a reception hall that’s more of a room than a corridor, leading you into a triple-aspect living room. Here, a deep bay window frames the house’s crowning glory: a panoramic, south-facing outlook. Because the rear of the property is perfectly oriented toward the sun, the entire back of the house is bathed in natural light from dawn until dusk. Looking out over the rolling fields toward the dramatic stone arches of the viaduct provides a breathtaking backdrop that makes you forget you have neighbours at all. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the eat-in kitchen, a space clearly designed for people who actually enjoy cooking and hosting, flowing effortlessly into a formal dining room for those Sunday roasts or late-night dinner parties. A large laundry room handles the practical side of life, while the ground floor also hosts a large office (or fifth bedroom) and two further double bedrooms served by a sleek family bathroom. Scale the stairs and the "wow factor" only intensifies. The upper floor is a sanctuary of vaulted ceilings and skylights, creating an airy, loft-like feel. The master bedroom is a genuine retreat, featuring a private en-suite and and fantastic range of built in wardrobes. Two further spacious double bedrooms and a further full bathroom complete the upper level, ensuring there is never a queue for the shower in the morning. Outside, the property is wrapped in well maintained, mature gardens that offer privacy and several sun-drenched spots for an evening drink. The expansive driveway provides enough room for a fleet of cars, leading to a substantial detached garage that’s perfect for the car enthusiast or simply hiding away the clutter of modern life. It’s a home that breathes, offering a rare sense of peace and a connection to the landscape that is hard to replicate in a modern build. Location-wise, you’re hitting the sweet spot. Glendoune View is tucked away in the quiet, scenic pocket of Crookedholm, yet you are practically a stone’s throw from the vibrant energy of Kilmarnock. Commuters will love the easy access to the M77, whisking you toward Glasgow or the coast in record time, while weekend explorers have the stunning Ayrshire landscape right on the doorstep. It’s the kind of area where you can enjoy the history of the original Glendoune estate while living in a bespoke home built for the demands of the 21st century.
