Spanning approximately 3.28 acres, this property offers a unique blend of natural beauty and significant renovation potential. Located on the western side of Cragston House, the grounds feature a well-constructed greenhouse by Hartley Botanic Ltd, equipped with power, lighting, and an advanced heating and ventilation system. Adjacent to this are meticulously maintained kitchen gardens that open up to landscaped areas adorned with terraced lawns that gently slope towards a small stream along the southern boundary.
The property further benefits from shared vehicular access via electric gates facing Loudoun Street, alongside an additional entrance to the west for enhanced accessibility. Among its unique features is a distinctive treehouse by Peartree Ltd, designed with two levels and a sun terrace, providing an ideal space for leisure or creative projects.
Importantly, this site holds substantial development potential with Planning Permission in Principle granted for the construction of 16 residential units. The approved plan includes four 4-bedroom detached homes, six 3-bedroom semi-detached houses, and six 3-bedroom townhouses. This permission remains valid until March 31, 2023, presenting an immediate opportunity for developers or investors to capitalize on the growing demand for housing in this appealing location. Previous planning consent for eight large detached houses has lapsed but underscores the site's viability for substantial residential development.
Cragston House is situated just outside Stewarton, offering convenient access to the M77 and proximity to essential amenities including shops, supermarkets, professional services, and educational institutions. The local train station provides regular services to Glasgow Central Station within approximately 30 minutes. Families will appreciate the presence of primary schools and a well-regarded secondary school in Stewarton itself as well as options for private education in nearby Ayr and south Glasgow.
The region offers rich opportunities for leisure activities with Ayr’s shopping facilities nearby and renowned sporting events like those at Ayr Racecourse. Additionally, the famous Ayrshire coastline is home to prestigious golf courses such as Royal Troon, Prestwick, and Turnberry, widely recognized in golfing circles.
This property not only presents a serene setting but also a strategic investment opportunity within a thriving community.
