Key information
Features and description
Stonefield are delighted to present to the market Orchard Farm, an attractive detached country cottage-style farmhouse, distinguished by its pink-painted stone façade and set beneath a slate roof, part of which features a mansard design to the front elevation. The house is arranged around a charming and sheltered inner courtyard, complemented by a series of attached traditional steadings. The setting is enchanting, with the property nestled within mature country gardens that offer a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. The frontage is particularly picturesque, adorned with flourishing wisteria and clematis that enhance the cottage’s romantic character.
The property is being brought to market in need of substantial renovation and modernisation throughout, which should be taken into consideration when viewing.
Internally, the property offers spacious and flexible accommodation across two floors. The ground floor opens into a welcoming reception hallway with understairs storage, leading to a dedicated boot room and a separate cloakroom. At the heart of the home lies a generously proportioned dining and breakfasting kitchen, centred around a striking red enamel Aga and featuring a traditional drying pulley. The sitting room, with its exposed beams, flagstone flooring, log-burning stove, exudes rustic charm, while a further living room boasts an open brick fireplace, and dual-aspect windows with built-in window seat boxes.
An inner hallway provides access to the courtyard and leads to a comfortable ground-floor bedroom with wash hand basin and fitted wardrobe. A second reception area, currently used as a living/dining space, features a pine floor, open fireplace, whitewashed stone walls, and French doors opening to both the courtyard and the rear garden. Further along the inner hall is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, and two additional double bedrooms, both displaying original exposed beams.
A staircase rises to the first floor where a generous upper hallway accommodates the hot water tank and leads to a home office or study with a walk-in wardrobe. There are two further bedrooms on this level, along with a well-appointed bathroom.
The outbuildings comprise a traditional attached steading, providing two versatile general-purpose store rooms, ideal for a variety of uses.
The grounds are a particular feature of Orchard Farm, approached via a private driveway leading into the central courtyard, which provides ample space for vehicle parking. The front garden is laid to lawn in a classic cottage style and framed by mixed shrubbery, hedging, and an abundance of seasonal and perennial planting. Further garden grounds extend to the side and rear, predominantly laid to grass and enclosed by mature trees, shrubs, and bushes, offering a wonderfully peaceful rural backdrop to this delightful home.
Orchard Farm enjoys a delightful rural setting approximately one mile to the east of the charming and well-regarded South Ayrshire village of Kirkmichael. The village offers a strong sense of community and provides a range of local amenities. The surrounding area is renowned for its natural beauty, with the dramatic coastline and sandy beaches of the Ayrshire coast within easy reach. The magnificent Culzean Castle and Country Park, one of Scotland’s most celebrated heritage estates, lies nearby, offering breathtaking walks, gardens, and clifftop views across the Firth of Clyde.
