"A substantial Arts and Crafts country house by renowned architect James Miller, set within approximately 4.3 acres of gardens and woodland close to Prestwick and Troon"
The Property
1 Monktonhead House occupies the larger portion of an impressive Category B listed Arts and Crafts house, designed by renowned Scottish architect James Miller and completed in 1910. Set within approximately 4.3 acres, the property combines architectural significance and period character with generous accommodation arranged across two floors.
The house retains many of the details that define its Arts and Crafts origins, including a timber-panelled entrance hall, open well staircase with barley sugar balusters, exposed timberwork and prominent brick chimneys. The principal reception spaces are equally characterful, with the long dining and music room featuring timber panelling and a beamed ceiling, while the sitting room and billiard room each provide further space for entertaining and family life.
The breakfast kitchen forms the practical heart of the house, while a utility room and ground floor bathroom provide useful everyday accommodation. Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged around a broad landing, including a principal bedroom with its own en suite, together with a further bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
The garden elevation is particularly appealing, with the house opening towards its grounds and a recessed terrace beneath a moulded timber cornice. With approximately 4,300 sq ft of accommodation and a wealth of original features, 1 Monktonhead House offers a rare opportunity to become custodian of an important piece of early twentieth-century Scottish architecture.
Externally
The property is approached via a shared tarmac driveway and sits within approximately 4.3 acres of lawns and woodland, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
The gardens provide a natural setting for the house, with broad areas of lawn, mature trees and established woodland surrounding the property. The garden elevation and recessed terrace create an inviting connection between the house and its surroundings, offering an attractive setting for outdoor entertaining during the warmer months.
A detached double garage provides secure parking for two vehicles, with brick and tiled construction complementing the architectural character of the main house.
The combination of substantial grounds, woodland, generous parking and the historic setting makes the property particularly well suited to those seeking a country lifestyle within easy reach of the Ayrshire coast.
