Mainholm Farm enjoys a delightful rural setting in a highly accessible location, approximately 1½ miles from Ayr town centre and 35 miles from Glasgow.

Ayr offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, sports facilities, and a cinema. The town boasts a long, sandy beach and several attractive parks, including Rozelle and Belleisle. A private co-educational school is also located nearby. Glasgow is easily reached via the A77/M77, and there is a frequent train service from Ayr to Glasgow Central. Prestwick Airport, which provides a broad range of international flights, lies just 6.5 miles away.

Ayrshire is celebrated for its outstanding golf courses, notably the world-famous links at Royal Troon, Turnberry, and Prestwick. Ayr also hosts a popular racecourse, and there are marinas at Troon, Ardrossan, and Largs. Close to the property is the River Ayr Way, a 44-mile long-distance walking route that includes the Ayr Gorge Woodlands reserve, a dramatic sandstone ravine cloaked in one of Ayrshire’s most significant ancient woodlands. The region offers excellent opportunities for country sports, including salmon and trout fishing, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Nestled in a picturesque and highly desirable location, Mainholm Farm is a former dairy farm brimming with character and potential. To the rear, a charming U-shaped courtyard provides ample parking and is flanked by substantial stone outbuildings, suitable for conversion or alternative use (subject to the necessary planning consents). Mature trees offer natural shelter and privacy, while the expansive garden encircles the home, enhancing its tranquil appeal. Beyond the garden, gently rolling grazing land presents ideal paddocks for equestrian pursuits or other livestock, making this a versatile prospect for those seeking a lifestyle property with scope for development.

Constructed from traditional stone underneath a slate roof, the property offers accommodation over two storeys. With the kitchen already removed, the accommodation offers a true blank canvas. Recent upgrades include newly installed double glazing and a modern heating system, alongside partial rewiring, laying the groundwork for further enhancement. The spacious reception hallway leads to two generous reception rooms, one of which features a versatile study area, ideal for home working. On the ground floor, a wet room and utility room add practicality, while upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom requiring replacement. A secondary staircase from the kitchen leads to the former maid’s room, offering further potential for integration or storage.
