Gilmilnscroft Colliery, Auchinleck, East Ayrshire

DW Shaw is proud to present this warm welcome & versatile 3 bedroom detached cottage set within two acres of fenced grounds, this heartwarming country home blends rustic charm with modern functionality, offering a versatile layout perfect for a growing family to create lasting memories.

Arrival at the property is truly impressive, with secure closed gates at the side opening onto a grand gravel driveway. This vast driveway sweeps all the way around to the rear entrance, providing substantial parking space for several cars, tractors, or larger utility vehicles. For peace of mind, the property benefits from a comprehensive ground CCTV system that can be easily monitored from multiple rooms in the house.
The welcoming central hallway sets the tone for the property’s adaptable design, opening onto a cosy lounge on one side and a highly flexible room on the other. This secondary space can easily serve as a bedroom or an additional family lounge, adapting effortlessly to your lifestyle needs.

The Modern Country Heart of the Home
Further along the hallway, you enter the true heart of the home: an expansive, modern country kitchen. Bathed in natural light from a window looking out over the rear garden and stables, it boasts excellent storage with 20 to 30 high-level cabinets, a large integrated oven, and a dedicated alcove for an American-style fridge-freezer. Beautiful wall tiling enhances the space, striking the perfect balance between a comfortable country feel and modern convenience.

Practical Utility & Morning Coffee
Directly off the kitchen is a highly practical rear vestibule that doubles as a utility mudroom. It features a dedicated laundry area for your washing machine and ample space to remove muddy wellies and hang coats after a day in the garden. This porch provides seamless access for hanging out washing before leading into a bright rear conservatory—an idyllic, peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the grounds.

Comfortable Bedrooms & Characterful Attic Space
The ground floor accommodation features a fully tiled four-piece family bathroom on one side of the hallway. Opposite, you will find a further bedroom complete with sleek, fitted sliding glass wardrobes. Further down, the accommodation opens into the main master bedroom, a bright and inviting space that benefits from its own private en-suite shower room. Rising directly from the kitchen, a traditional timber staircase leads up to a central attic landing area. Branching off this space are two characterful attic rooms illuminated by bright skylights, creating a highly adaptable upper level that is perfect for a children’s play area or a creative home office.

Expansive Grounds With Endless Potential
Externally, the impressive wrap-around gardens span approximately two acres, offering an exceptional rural lifestyle divided into smart, functional zones. The grounds feature a dedicated area for hanging washing, a secure paddock space for stable animals, and a large plot with massive potential to erect a substantial garage or even extend the main building. Past the stables, the land stretches out to offer endless possibilities tailored to your way of living.

When viewing properties, buyers often find themselves compromising on size or layout, but this unique, highly adaptable home proves that your dream lifestyle can be fully customized in every single aspect.
