THIS WEEK’S Ayrshire property of the week takes us to the stunning village of Dundonald - and to a property appearing on the market for the first time since the 1970s.
Porterstone Cottage is a wonderful detached villa on the edge of the village, with rolling Ayrshire farmland to the rear.
A truly unique home, Porterstone Cottage, in Old Loans Road, has been lovingly cared for by its present owners. It provides spacious and flexible accommodation on two levels and is suited to a variety of potential purchasers – particularly the family market.
