This spacious, detached house lies on the shore of Prestwick beach in Ayrshire. It is totally secluded yet only a 10-minute walk to the town centre with amenities including boutique shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. The 4-acre grounds include a private lawn tennis court, orchard and allotment garden. The large grassed lawn leads directly down onto the beach and boasts stunning views over the sea to the Isle of Arran, renowned for its fantastic sunsets. There is also a private hot tub with views over the sea.
Situated directly on the Ayrshire Coastal Path, a 100-mile long coastal walk with one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles. Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife including red squirrels, deer, otters and seals; it is also a haven for birdwatchers. The River Ayr Way, a 40 mile ’source to sea’ walk is also easily accessed.
Inland, there are gardens and castles to visit and activities such as riding and golf to enjoy. The many golf courses include the world famous Royal Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry courses, both close to hand, with Turnberry also having a fantastic spa and outdoor centre. Culzean Castle (National Trust Scotland) is spectacular and is Ayrshire’s most popular tourist attraction.
The islands of Cumbrae, Arran and Bute are all easily reached for a day out while day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan. The pretty towns of Troon and Ayr are only a short drive and Prestwick town has a very good rail service for a trip to the cosmopolitan city of Glasgow and also historic Edinburgh. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is an hour’s drive and is well worth a visit. Beach 50 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
