Built in 1787, the property has been beautifully upgraded for contemporary lifestyles, while retaining the charm of the Georgian period.

Fiona Fulton of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “High Peacockbank House is an impressive family home with excellent reception spaces and a wealth of period features. It is set amid extensive garden grounds, well stocked with flowering plants and beautifully maintained. The surrounding countryside is idyllic, but the popular town of Stewarton is less than half a mile. This provides the best of both worlds – easy access to local amenities but a wonderful rural lifestyle, not to mention the lovely grounds. We expect a great deal of interest.”

The spacious accommodation at High Peacockbank House includes a beautiful open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. The kitchen has oak flooring, a 5-door AGA and integrated appliances. The cosy sitting room has a feature stone fireplace and hearth with gas stove. There is also a garden room with French doors leading to the gardens. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom WC with laundry area.

An impressive curved staircase sweeps up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and bathroom. The master bedroom has a dual aspect with window seats overlooking the gardens.

High Peacockbank House is approached via a shared driveway which leads to a gravelled chipped drive with ample parking. There is a pond in the front garden as well as a small orchard stocked with apple, pear, cherry and plum trees, a vegetable garden and summer house. The rear gardens are mainly down to lawn and have commanding views to the Ayrshire coast. There is a lovely west-facing patio, greenhouse and potting shed and the garden is stocked with camellias, azaleas, forsythia, hellebores and sweet peas which provide a variety of colour throughout the spring and summer.

The plot extends to 1.65 acres in all.
