Property Description
Croek Cottage is a delightful country retreat, set within the peaceful woodlands of the Carlung Estate, only a mile from the Craft Town of West Kilbride. Once the gardener's cottage, this sandstone property has been expertly extended using the same sandstone and offers approximately 4.4 acres of private wooded grounds, providing a secluded escape with breathtaking views of both the countryside and across to the Isle of Arran.
The cottage features two generous reception rooms, both with wooden floors and filled with natural light. The spacious lounge benefits from triple aspect windows and French doors that open onto a patio area, perfect for enjoying the tranquil setting. The family room has beautiful oak double doors opening into the impressive lounge.
The bathroom/shower room is fitted with a bath and a separate walk-in shower cubicle, wash hand basin, vanity units, w.c. and heated towel rail.
The modern kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge and freezer, washing machine and an electric Rangemaster cooker. Two generous bedrooms on the ground floor offer views of the surrounding gardens and countryside, while a third bedroom is located in the attic room, with Velux window, accessed by stairs from the reception hall.
Outside, a tree-lined driveway leads to an expansive front garden providing extensive parking for multiple vehicles and a garden with two lawn areas, mature trees and vibrant seasonal blooms including daffodils, bluebells, rhododendrons and wild garlic.
The grounds include two outbuildings, which offer potential for development, subject to planning, and a new wooden garage.
The rear garden gently slopes into a wooded area, providing a perfect setting for nature lovers or those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle. Previously, owners have used some of the land as woodland grazing in the past.
Located just 6.5 miles from Largs and 34 miles from Glasgow, Croek Cottage offers the best of rural living with city amenities within easy reach.
