Energy efficient barn conversion on the outskirts of Turnberry offers lifestyle purchase with further development potential

On sale with leading property consultancy Galbraith, The Old Byres is a highly energy efficient barn conversion offering spacious accommodation with three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a delightful garden room and a dining kitchen.

The current owners sympathetically converted the old byres to create a beautiful family home marrying original farm building features with modern additions. Striking oak flooring has been laid throughout the property whilst the new barn style doors give a nod to the property’s former past.

A Jotul wood burning stove compliments the painted original stone walls and creates a warm and cosy living room complete with dual aspect windows. The garden room, with full height sliding doors fitted with electric blinds and a sky light window, is a superb room from where to admire the garden and views beyond.

A stunning farmhouse style kitchen is the heart of the home and has been designed in keeping with the overall atmosphere of the property, with bespoke handmade wooden cabinets and a large Rangemaster.

Fiona Fulton, handling the sale for Galbraith in Ayr, said: “The Old Byres is a truly spectacular lifestyle property located in a beautiful countryside setting in south Ayrshire, whilst also enjoying stunning coastal views. It is ideal for a young family looking to put down roots and embrace rural living whist being just a short distance away from local amenities available in the coastal village of Maidens. Maidens has a lovely long sandy beach and boasts the well-regarded ‘Wildings’ restaurant, a grocer’s, coffee shop and primary school.

“The property is in walk in condition and the owners have also gone to great efforts to create a highly energy efficient property with low running costs, having installed air source heat pump and solar panels. This property is attached to another byre, included in the sale, and which comes with planning permission to further extend the property or develop it as an additional annex or holiday let, subject to necessary planning consents.”

Outside, the mature gardens at The Old Byres have a variety of trees including Alder, Canadian Maple, Picea Pungens, Fir, Apple and Victoria Plum along with mixed hedging offering beautiful colours when in bloom. There is a small, decked area from where to enjoy some alfresco dining whilst taking in the stunning view towards the Ailsa Craig.

Maybole is eight miles away and has a selection of small convenience shops, primary and secondary schools. The harbour town of Girvan lies to the south and has a selection of local convenience stores including a health centre whilst the market town of Ayr has a wider range of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities.

Ayrshire is renowned for its excellent golf courses with the world-famous Trump Turnberry Hotel and Spa close by, as well as Prestwick and Royal Troon being 20 and 24 miles away respectively. The popular Ayr racecourse is host to the Scottish Grand National and some of Scotland’s most testing sailing waters lie around the Ayrshire coast with marinas in Troon, Largs and Inverkip.
