Mainholm Farm is set in a serene rural landscape, just 1½ miles from the amenities of Ayr town center and approximately 35 miles from Glasgow. This location provides a blend of peaceful country living with easy access to urban conveniences. Ayr itself offers various shops, restaurants, sports facilities, and a cinema. Its long sandy beach and parks like Rozelle and Belleisle contribute to a relaxed lifestyle, while nearby educational options include a private co-educational school. Travel to Glasgow is convenient via the A77/M77 or by frequent train services from Ayr station. Additionally, Prestwick Airport lies only 6.5 miles away, offering international flight options.
The property is a former dairy farm that presents significant renovation and investment potential. The U-shaped courtyard at the back provides ample parking space and adjoins substantial stone outbuildings that are ripe for conversion or alternative uses (pending necessary planning approvals). With mature trees ensuring privacy and shelter, the expansive garden surrounding the home offers a tranquil setting. Beyond this garden space lies gently rolling grazing land—approximately 1.65 acres—that could serve equestrian interests or other agricultural pursuits, highlighting its versatility as an investment opportunity.
Constructed with traditional stone under a slate roof, Mainholm Farm features two levels of accommodation awaiting your personal touch. The removal of the kitchen creates an open canvas for new designs and layouts. Recent improvements such as new double glazing and an updated heating system set a solid foundation for further enhancements. The main entryway opens into two spacious reception rooms; one includes a designated study area that supports modern working needs. Ground floor amenities consist of a wet room and utility room, while upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom ready for updates.
The property's extensive outbuildings add further value:
- **Former Dairy Byre 1 & 2** (each about 3.8m x 4.06m) feature stone construction with slate roofs.
- **Large Byre** (approximately 18.8m x 4.91m) is also built from stone.
- Additional structures like the former stable block (10.91m x 5.13m) and cart shed with grain loft present diverse possibilities for redevelopment.
These facilities could be adapted for various uses—perhaps as workshops or additional living spaces—making them an attractive component of this property’s investment potential.
Mainholm Farm offers more than just character; it invites you to envision its transformation into your ideal home or business venture in
