The Daily Record’s latest Property of the Week is a spectacular B Listed castle that features an event space, holiday cottages, and stables set amongst extensive gorgeous grounds. The sellers have described the sale as “a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished estate”.
Cloncaird Castle is a jaw-dropping 15-bedroom property in South Ayrshire situated within a scenic estate bordered by the Water of Girvan and overlooking the Kelso Burn. The incredible home is currently on the market through estate agents Savills for offers over £3 million.
The property is approached via two tarmac driveways that connect to a network of internal roads, including a beautiful bridge crossing over a burn. The grounds extend to approximately 143 acres in a private setting and feature mature gardens, ponds, woodlands, and farmland.
The main house is set out over four floors, with the ground floor centred around a fabulous hall with an open fireplace and stone columns. The main reception rooms are accessed from the hall, including a grand formal dining room with original panelling and an open fireplace.
Also on the ground floor are a morning room and an office with adjacent cloakroom, as well as a laundry, a boiler room, and even a woodchip store. Elsewhere, the glazed atrium is set within the property’s original courtyard and offers an incredible events space with a commercial kitchen, toilets, and storage.
There is also an apartment in the courtyard buildings that is comprised of a kitchen, a sitting room, a bedroom, and a shower room. The atrium is able to operate independently of the main house, with its own entrance and separate drive, while completing the ground floor is a further dining kitchen.
The first floor is centred around a gallery landing that leads to further amazing reception rooms, such as a circular music room, a snooker room, a drawing room, and a library—all of which include stunning original features like ornate plasterwork and fireplaces. This floor is also home to three of the bedrooms, as well as a bathroom and access to a terrace.
Up another flight of stairs, the second floor has the master bedroom suite with its own marble bathroom and dressing room. On the upper and middle levels, there are eight more bedrooms, six bathrooms, and another circular sitting room at the top of the castle, while a lift connects the ground and first floors.
Aside from the main house, there are nine additional cottages scattered around the breathtaking grounds. Four of these have been developed within the former stable block, with all of the cottages currently being managed for the purposes of short-term holiday letting.
According to Savills, the property has been well maintained and offers very versatile accommodation that is suited to both family living and commercial use. The listing states that the atrium courtyard and the existing holiday accommodation offer excellent scope to further develop Cloncaird Castle as an events or hospitality venue.
Savills property agent Sian Houston commented: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished estate combining historic character, income-generating assets and significant amenity land, all set within a private and picturesque setting in beautiful Ayrshire.”
