THIS WEEK’S Ayrshire property of the week takes us to a truly remarkable home - in an even more remarkable setting.

The enhanced and upgraded A77/M77 road network provides swift commuting access to Glasgow City Centre.

The property itself is an impressive detached family home that offers to the market a remarkable amount of living accommodation across two floors, nine main apartments and five bathrooms, and enjoys an even more remarkable setting adjacent to the River Doon.

The breathtaking garden grounds stretch along the banks of the river immortalised in the poetry of Robert Burns and look out to the its mouth, with mature trees and an unrivalled level of privacy.

This fantastic home has stunning extension, which includes a lounge area utilising an array of glass windows to enjoy the garden from inside and a sitting room above the lounge that acts as a viewing platform out across the garden, the river and out to sea.

The property has a detached garage, ample parking, quality fixtures and fittings, generous storage throughout and is located just a short walk from Greenan shore, the historic village of Alloway and the market town of Ayr.
