Fiona Fulton, who is handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith, said: “This is an exceptional property with beautifully presented  accommodation throughout, offering elegant spaces for entertaining and family life. The attention to detail throughout is second to none, resulting in one of the loveliest homes we have brought to the market.

 

“The grounds are equally impressive, with manicured  lawns, colourful flower beds, paddocks and the secret garden tucked away among mature trees with its meandering stream. The setting is private and tranquil yet within easy reach of Ayr and the coast.  It is rare to find such a complete property coming to the market and we expect significant interest.”

 

On the ground floor are three reception rooms, plus dining kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, W.C., two porches, side hall and main entrance hall. Upstairs there are five generously sized double bedrooms, family bathroom and shower room.

 

The kitchen is of particular note, with its cream Aga, separate oven and hob, Belfast sink, two attractive free-standing dressers and co-ordinating cream floor units including a carved wooden island.

 

The dining room can accommodate 12 plus people, and has a decorative fireplace and wall lights. The dual aspect sitting room has a large picture window with window seat from which to appreciate the wonderful countryside views, a wood burning stove set-in brick with wooden surround. The living room is equally attractive, with a wood burning stove with bespoke hearth surround, dual aspect windows and window seat.

 

The gardens at Pierhill House are wonderfully laid out and well maintained. The beautifully tended lawn is surrounded by an abundance of mature trees with some unusual species like Black Poplar and a variety of plants and flowers providing year-round colour. There are several entertaining areas around the garden for family and friend get-togethers. The current owners have hosted large events in marquees on the lawn, and three external power sockets are installed for this purpose.

 

The two grazing paddocks extend to about 3.7 acres in total. The property is 5.5 acres in all.

 

There are a variety of good quality outbuildings including stables, garaging, workshops, garden stores, a byre and an open-sided Dutch barn with parking for four cars.

 

Pierhill House is nestled in an enviable, secluded and private setting close to Stair within Annbank parish and only 7 miles from Ayr town centre.
