Welcome to our comfortable, spacious, detached home on the outskirts of the village of Kilmaurs, with easy access to Royal Troon for the 2024 Open Championship, Ayr, Glasgow and Kilmarnock. Getting here is easy, with the M77 only 8 minutes by car and Kilmaurs train station only 800m from the doorstep. The famous Weston Tavern is a similar distance. There is ample parking – a spacious, pristine, monobloc drive, with plenty of street parking if required – and an EV charger is available for use by guests. The side entrance offers disabled access via a gentle slope, with no steps required for entry to the ground floor with downstairs, twin bedroom. Front access – with double door access for particularly large items – leads into the large, bright hallway with access to the stairs, downstairs twin bedroom, W.C., kitchen, dining room and under stair cupboard, handy for coats, jackets, etc. The dining room comes equipped with solid oak table, 8 matching oak dining chairs, full crockery and cutlery. There are selections of whisky and gin to enjoy as well as many board games and an extensive collection of nostalgic, 80s vinyl. Along with all the equipment necessary to do it justice. Alternatively, use the jackplug connector provided to use your own device or connect to the Bose Revolve Soundlink via Bluetooth to have your own sounds – just don’t share too loudly with the neighbours! If you feel like making your own music, there is a German upright piano (untuned) just waiting to have its ivories tickled. Full fibre broadband is available throughout the house and Wi-Fi access details will be provided on arrival. The cosy lounge has a 55” smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, a multitude of apps and a Panasonic Blu-ray DVD player for you to enjoy a wide range of inhouse films from the Retro Collection! Alternatively, you may cast from your own device or use the 3m HDMI cable to connect to your own laptop or tablet to watch your own entertainment. From the lounge, the sliding patio doors give direct access to the large (over 65 sqm) decked area, complete with table and seating for 8, perfect for eating outside.

The smart dishwasher has a high-level cutlery tray and height-adjustable middle basket (check those paddles on the side), with Finish tabs provided. There are a wide range of cycles available – including eco, auto, quiet and express - all of which can be used with the delay function to clean whilst you zzz.
