The exclusive development will be formed of three exceptional, high-specification houses -- Hazel Tree Cottage, Farrier House  and Paddock View. Each is designed by award winning Thomson Hunter Associates and Oakwrights and built by renowned Oak-Frame specialist Iain Hendry.

The houses are set in the walled garden of Daisy Bank House, a restored Georgian mansion, on the edge of the Ayrshire village of Tarbolton. There are beautiful open countryside views to the front.

The purchase price of each building plot is £110,000. The build cost of Hazel Tree Cottage is £285,000 while Farrier House and Paddock View are each £385,000.

Fiona Fulton of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a really wonderful opportunity to create a dream home, with a simply stunning design, and with the ability to tailor aspects of the build to your own preferences. The setting is also wonderful, with lovely views, and in the grounds of Daisy Bank House, an elegant 18th century country house designed by an architect from the Robert Adams group.

“Oakwrights homes offer a superb blend of character, from the use of exposed oak and glazing, plus energy efficiency features including an air-source heat pump and luxurious interior finishes. These three homes will be quite exceptional and they offer the chance to create a characterful, quality build with all three homes offering bespoke options and real value investments.”

The purchase of the building plots is not liable to LBTT since each plot is priced below the current threshold, thus saving a considerable sum in tax.

Hazel Tree Cottage is a superb single storey house of about 97 square metres, expertly designed and beautifully crafted, with  entrance hall giving access to the impressive open plan kitchen/dining/living room with stunning vaulted ceiling and French Doors from both the dining and living area to the garden. There are two bedrooms (master with en suite bathroom) and a shower room.

Both Farrier House  and Paddock View are one and a half storey houses of about 163 square metres exuding a lovely country contemporary ambiance. The accommodation comprises, on the ground floor, a welcoming porch opening to a fabulous open plan living/dining and kitchen with vaulted ceiling and flooded with natural light from the full height windows and French Doors to the garden. There is a useful utility room and a shower room. Upstairs is the master bedroom with en suite shower room and dressing room, two further bedrooms and family bathroom.

The gardens of all three properties will have post and rail fencing and an Indian sandstone pathway around the house.

Particular features of the properties include: a closed panel insulated wall and roof system; external oak cladding; grey slate roof; Aero-Barrier system install; air source heat pump; underfloor heating to ground floor, radiators to upper floors; luxury porcelain/natural stone tiling; fully-fitted German engineered kitchens; fully fitted premium bathrooms/shower rooms with Matki power showers.

Oakwrights offers prospective clients the opportunity to stay in their Herefordshire Show Home overnight, providing a valuable insight into the quality of their properties. Other fully completed homes in the Ayrshire area can be viewed by customers, subject to arrangement.

Daisy Bank House is the former home of Captain John Stobo of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, dating from circa 1790-1800. The architect of this elegant house was from the celebrated Robert Adams architectural school.

The village of Tarbolton has a useful range of facilities including a well-regarded Country Inn (The Black Bull), primary school, pharmacy, bowling club and doctors’ surgery.

There are many scenic countryside walks in the area and the market town of Ayr with its long sandy beach and great selection of restaurants, pubs and sporting facilities is just five miles away, while Glasgow is 31 miles.

Ayrshire is especially renowned for its many golf courses including the famous Turnberry, Old Prestwick and Royal Troon. The lovely Isle of Arran is a short sail away from the harbour at Ardrossan.
