15th Century Scottish Noblewoman's Townhouse Apartment, situated within approximately 30 minutes drive of world class golf courses at Turnberry, Old Prestwick and Royal Troon. This property represents a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire the only 2 bedroom apartment in the most historical residential building in Ayr. This Grade 1 listed building is amongst the earliest surviving secular buildings in the town and is believed to have been constructed in the early fifteenth century with extensive modifications made in the late twentieth century. This top floor property has recently been redecorated throughout and maintains many period features in keeping with the age and history of the building. Historically the building was once a branch of the former City of Glasgow Bank and is also the birthplace of John Loudon McAdam (of tarmac fame) who was born here in September 1756! Accommodation is over two levels and extends to formal lounge, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms.
Entry from street level opens to a stone stepped spiral staircase leading to the apartments wonderfully curved front door through which you are taken in to the welcoming reception hallway with wooden flooring, a generously proportioned understairs cupboard and additional walk-in cupboard which is of a size that it could potentially be put to other uses. At the east end of the reception hallway is the doorway to the extremely tastefully presented lounge boasting wooden flooring, feature fireplace, period cornicing & ceiling rose and two windows overlooking the Sandgate. To the side of the property you will find the kitchen with a range of wall & floor mounted units, washing machine, tumble dryer, recessed ceiling spotlights and a window to the side overlooking Cathcart Street.

Moving to the upper level and here you will find the 2 double bedrooms with the first benefitting from fitted carpeting and sash windows with wooden shutters and the second, triple aspect double bedroom benefitting from wooden flooring and windows to three sides.
Viewing is to be highly recommended to fully appreciate the style and history of this truly unique property, perfectly blending the best of both the past and the present. The apartment is tastefully furnished throughout and the current owners would be amenable to selling the property fully or partly furnished. The gas central heating boiler has been recently replaced and the property also benefits from a security entry system.
