Samantha Outten, lettings agent for Galbraith in Ayr, said: “Cranston Lodge is, without doubt, one of the area’s finest private houses, set within a highly desirable central location in Ayr. This exceptional ground-floor apartment offers spacious and elegant accommodation, showcasing outstanding period features and craftsmanship from a bygone era. This is a rare opportunity to rent one of the area’s finest traditional properties.”

Cranston Lodge in Ayr was listed in Scottish directories from the late 19th century as a property of note, and many of the period features remain, including original stone-mullioned windows, beautiful ornate doors and impressive stone carving on the exterior of the house.

The wood-panelled entrance vestibule leads into an impressive reception hall, also with original wood panelling, setting the tone for this magnificent apartment. The spacious formal lounge looks out over the south-facing gardens and features an attractive fireplace, creating an inviting focal point. A high-quality modern dining kitchen, complemented by a separate utility area, blends contemporary living with classic surroundings.

The accommodation comprises three generous double bedrooms, one benefitting from an en-suite W.C. The principal bedroom further boasts a feature fireplace and striking period window. In addition, there is a good-sized study, which can be used as a fourth bedroom if required. Completing the interior is a stylish modern shower room with original stained-glass windows and a separate coat room, both accessed from the hall. The apartment is let fully furnished.

Externally, there is a mature, south-facing garden, with lawn and patio area, well stocked with a variety of shrubs, providing a tranquil outdoor space. There is also ample parking to the front of the property.

2B Cranston Lodge is to let through Galbraith for £1,600 pcm.
