Barrhill Cottage is a delightful traditional detached two storey cottage in a beautiful tranquil location about 1.7 miles south of the picturesque village of Sorn, East Ayrshire on a quiet single track public road. Sorn has a primary school, and a well-regarded local Inn (the Sorn Inn). Secondary schooling is available in Galston and Cumnock, with private schooling at Wellington in Ayr. Sorn is about 17 miles from Ayr where there are an excellent range of supermarkets, shops and restaurants. Glasgow (34 miles) is within easy commuting reach by the M77 and Junction 12 of the M74 with rapid access to the south, is about 22 miles distant. There are main line railway stations in Kilmarnock (14 miles) and Auchinleck (3 miles) providing access to Glasgow and beyond whilst Glasgow Prestwick Airport offers regular international flights. The 44 mile River Ayr Way long distance walk is nearby, and the route travels along by Sorn Castle and the Ballochmyle Viaduct at Mauchline which are both particularly interesting sections of the walk.
Barrhill Cottage is a detached country cottage built on two storeys with a pitched slate roof and a white rendered finish. The current vendor has lived there for some 37 years. On the ground floor the house is accessed from the sun room which has half height windows with stunning views over the Sorn Valley. This leads to the breakfasting area with patio doors which outlooks over the large terrace and gardens.

The living/dining room has an attractive brick fireplace with electric fire, with brick fireplace surround, sash and case windows with deep sills, a timber framed bay window and attractive coving with a ceiling rose.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
