About
2 Wellsbourne House is a rarely available traditional attached villa forming part of Wellsbourne House, a much admired ‘B' listed mansion house constructed circa 1900 having been commissioned by Ayr's foremost architect of the era - James Archibald Morris.
The property itself is a substantial attached villa providing generous accommodation over three levels with flexible, well proportioned living space throughout.
Although now requiring modernisation the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a period home of distinction perfectly placed between the seafront and the town centre and within walking distance of a wide range of amenities including Wellington School.
The size and scale of the property gives potential purchasers the perfect opportunity to re-configure and create an exceptional home.
In summary the accommodation extends to, on the elevated ground floor a reception hallway with wc and former butlers panty off, lounge room with feature fireplace and semi open plan to the dining room, fitted ‘Alno' kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, inner hall, two double bedrooms (both with fitted wardrobes) and a three piece bathroom.
On the lower ground level there is a hall, sitting room, utility room, double bedroom with en-suite wc and various store rooms.
On the upper level there is a further double bedroom, access to extensive eaves storage and a store room.
Externally Wellsbourne House is entered via a pillared entrance onto hard standing with the driveway to number 2 at the end of the drive. Adjacent is the detached double garage and attached car-port.
To the front there is an enclosed garden area laid to lawn and separate shrubbery borders.
The westerly facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with patio area and gate access to the Low Green. EER - D Wellsbourne House occupies arguably the finest seafront position in Ayr.
Racecourse Road is home to some of the finest properties in Ayrshire and is perfectly placed close to the town centre.
There is excellent local schooling at both primary and secondary level including Wellington School which is within walking distance.
Ayr town centre provides a comprehensive range of amenities including supermarket and retail shopping while there are first class road and rail links to Glasgow making it perfect for commuters.
