Ayrshire is renowned for its range of outdoor pursuits. There are a number of world-renowned golf courses including Royal Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry. The racecourse at Ayr provides regular fixtures and is host to the Scottish Grand National. Excellent yachting facilities are available at the marinas in Troon, Ardrossan and Largs. There are many opportunities for game sports in the area and Ayrshire has some of South West Scotland’s best salmon and trout fishing. Permit fishing is available at the River Ayr and the River Nith whilst Annbank fishery lies close by. Ayrshire is famous as the birthplace of Robert Burns.
Pierhill House is a highly attractive two storey house built of stone and brick with a white render finish, sash and case painted windows, under a slate roof. Pierhill House has instant appeal before even entering the house, from the private drive leading to a gravel driveway with ample parking, well maintained and beautifully stocked mature gardens, grazing land, several useful outbuildings and stables to the charming ‘secret’ oasis of private garden by the stream.
Pierhill House comprises a bright welcoming hallway which gives access to the large dining kitchen with cream Aga, separate oven and hob, Belfast sink, two attractive free-standing dressers and co-ordinating cream floor units including a carved wooden central island. There is access to the garden from the kitchen and the rear hallway leading on to the large utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. In addition, there is a door from the kitchen into the large dining room which can accommodate dining for 12 plus people, a decorative fireplace and wall lights. The dual aspect sitting room has a large picture window with window seat below from which to appreciate the wonderful countryside views, a wood burning stove set-in brick with wooden surround. Also from the hall is the living room with a wood burning stove set-in brick and wooden surround and bespoke hearth surround, dual aspect windows and window seat. There are two w.c.’s/cloakrooms on the ground floor. Stairs rise from the hall to the five generously sized bedrooms, four of which have built in wardrobes/storage. Two bedrooms benefit from wash hand basins set in vanity units. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, shower cubicle, wash hand basin, w.c. and heated towel rail and the shower room complete with dual head shower, w.c. and wash hand basin complete the first floor accommodation along with the plentiful cupboard space.
Pierhill Cottage is built of non-traditional construction and sits at the entrance of the drive to Pierhill House on a quarter of an acre plot. It is currently used as a family second home and provides ideal additional accommodation for extended family and could also be used as a holiday let. It comprises a sitting room with wood- burning stove, beautiful fitted kitchen, bathroom with shower over bath and screen and two double bedrooms.
Prospective buyers should also be aware of the development potential of the Cottage. Given its type of construction and the size of its plot, the Cottage could also fall under Local Authority planning policy guidance for an enlarged replacement dwelling on the site. This would be subject to a Planning Application Approval being made by the Local Authority.
GARDEN (AND GROUNDS)
The gardens at Pierhill House are wonderfully laid out and maintained, the beautifully tended lawn is surrounded by an abundance of mature trees and a variety of plants providing year-round colour and include some more unusual species like Black Poplar and Cercidiphyllum. There are several entertaining areas around the garden for family and friend get-togethers or for quiet peaceful outdoor time at the secret garden by the stream. The current owners have hosted large family events in marquees on the lawn, and 3 phase 16A 240v external power sockets are installed for this purpose.
