We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Stonefield Estate Agents are delighted to introduce Houldsworth Cottage - A charming three bedroom detached countryside cottage with double driveway, large garage and enclosed gardens enjoying an elevated position with open countryside views and situated within the quiet hamlet of Polnessan, around eight miles from Ayrshire's principle town of Ayr.
Boasting expansive room dimensions and a versatile layout across a superb single level living arrangement extending to circa 1400 square feet and presented to the market in impeccable condition throughout, early viewing is fundamental to fully appreciate this superb home and its pleasant countryside setting.
The accommodation is beautifully arranged and, in brief, comprises an entrance vestibule opening into a welcoming reception hall.
A bright and elegantly proportioned formal lounge features a striking log burning stove set within an attractive red brick surround, creating a particularly inviting focal point.
The adjoining dining / family room enjoys patio doors opening onto an elevated terrace with magnificent open countryside views towards the River Doon.
A charming country style kitchen, complete with exposed brick detailing and characterful ceiling beams, forms the heart of the home and flows seamlessly into a dining area adjacent, where patio doors provide an effortless connection to the outdoor space - ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining alike.
A practical utility/boot room further enhances the functionality of the layout.
The property also offers three well proportioned double bedrooms together with a luxuriously appointed family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower enclosure.
Ensuring comfort all year round, the property is equipped with gas central heating, double glazing and floor coverings throughout.
Externally, the property benefits from extensive off street parking via two separate driveways, while the low maintenance gardens to either side of the home enjoy a high degree of privacy, a favourable sunny orientation and attractive open countryside views.
The extensive outbuildings and versatile external space offer considerable appeal to a wide range of purchasers, particularly those seeking opportunities for home business use, secure storage or lifestyle ventures.
A substantial detached metal-clad garage/workshop provides excellent flexibility for trade, vehicle storage or commercial purposes, while the additional outbuildings and surrounding grounds may lend themselves well to a variety of uses, including kennelling or similar enterprises, subject to any necessary consents.
The adaptability of the setting is a rare feature and greatly enhances the property’s overall appeal.
Demand for countryside cottages within the Ayrshire region remains extremely buoyant therefore early viewing is highly recommended.
