Townhead, Turnberry

The Old School is a charming three-bedroom detached former schoolhouse, peacefully positioned on the outskirts of Turnberry in rural South Ayrshire. Set within generous private garden grounds, the property combines traditional character with modern comfort and enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with stunning views of Ailsa Craig from the garden. Arranged over two levels, the accommodation offers flexible living space ideal for family life or as a peaceful countryside retreat. There is also scope to extend or further develop the property, subject to the necessary planning consents. Ideally located just five minutes from Turnberry Golf Course and the Ayrshire coast, with Girvan and the wider South Ayrshire countryside within easy reach, The Old School offers a rare combination of privacy, generous grounds, beautiful views and exceptional potential.

On entering The Old School from the raised patio, you are welcomed into an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area, filled with natural light from numerous windows. The generous dining space offers a versatile layout, with ample room for dining, relaxing or a home office, while an opening leads through to the beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen. Featuring a breakfast bar, an array of wall and base units, matching worktops, splashbacks and a central island, the kitchen provides the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining. A bright central hallway provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation, including a spacious south-facing living room with large windows creating a light and welcoming space in which to relax. The ground floor also benefits from a large utility room and conservatory, with the latter providing a peaceful additional reception space and direct access to the courtyard.
The ground floor provides the first of three generous double bedrooms, complete with built-in wardrobes featuring mirrored sliding doors. Upstairs, two further large double bedrooms each benefit from built-in wardrobes and their own en-suite shower rooms, with both rooms enjoying excellent natural light.

The property further benefits from an air-source heat pump and an array of solar panels.
Externally, there are substantial brick-built outbuildings which offer great space for storage with adjoining kennels.

The extensive garden grounds are thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas. These include a large tarmac area providing ample off-street parking for several vehicles, a decorative stone-chip courtyard and a generous lawned area with mature shrubs. The lawn enjoys beautiful views towards Ailsa Craig, while the gardens as a whole provide an excellent space for relaxing, enjoying the summer sunshine and entertaining family and friends.
