THIS week’s Ayrshire property of the week takes us to the village of West Kilbride, and a simply stunning historical home.
The substantial semi-detached property at Underhill dates back to around 1700 and forms the end terrace of three traditionally built houses in a sheltered, rural, woodland location.
Meikle Underhill is a stunning home presented in walk-in condition set over three levels.
The property sits in mature garden grounds extending to approximately 0.7 acres and benefits from shared ownership of surrounding woodland in and around the former private walled gardens.
The flexible layout of the property currently allows for four double bedrooms plus study/home office and has a spacious conservatory with wood burning stove taking full advantage of the woodland and country views.
In more detail, the former Underhill Estate is accessed a short distance from the northern edge of West Kilbride from the B781 Dalry Road via a well-maintained, tarred, tree-lined private driveway.
The accommodation on offer comprises a reception hallway on the ground floor giving access to a spacious formal lounge with wood burning stove and a bay window with country views.
The lounge opens to the conservatory which also benefits from a woodburning stove and enjoys extensive views on three sides over the lawned gardens and woodland towards Cumbrae, West Kilbride and Arran.
The dining kitchen is also accessed from the reception hallway and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with integrated appliances to include induction hob, oven, extractor and multi-function second oven/microwave.
A shower room fitted with a modern three-piece suite to include WC, wash hand basin and shower cubicle with mixer shower and rainfall head completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
A set of stairs leads to the first floor which features two double bedrooms and a bathroom fitted with a modern suite, his and hers wash hand basins, standalone bath and large walk-in shower cubicle with thermostatic shower with rainfall head.
On the upper landing there are two further double bedrooms, a home office/study and walk in store/box room. One of the bedrooms boasts superb, elevated views over countryside to the Firth of Clyde, Cumbrae and Argyll Peninsula in the west.
In addition to the above the property benefits from photovoltaic solar panels and an electric car charger. Owners of the property are eligible for RHI payments up to March 2026 – currently just over £420 paid four times per annum.
The private gardens have a southerly aspect and are ideal for the family market with a broad paved sun terrace, timber deck with pergola, two lawned areas and an abundance of mature woodland. There are three parking spaces and a car charger to the front of the property.
