Perfectly set within the characterful Main Street of ‘Old Kilmaurs’, this charming and wonderfully quirky cottage offers a rare chance to secure an easy, village-centre lifestyle while enjoying the warmth, individuality and calm that only a historic home can deliver.
From the very second you step inside, the inviting atmosphere draws you in with fresh neutral décor, thoughtful modern updates and an unmistakable sense of care from its current owner, who has overseen improvements including a newly installed boiler and a portion of the roof fully overhauled to ensure long-term peace of mind. The layout unfolds over three engaging levels, each with its own personality: the ground floor presents a bright lounge with space for dining, a welcoming hub for everyday life and entertaining, with the adjoining kitchen sitting alongside, perfectly placed for both practicality and convivial cooking; rising to the first floor, the large upper landing provides an unexpectedly generous space—ideal for a home office, creative nook or hobby area—leading onwards to a comfortable double bedroom and stylishly kept bathroom, while the top floor reveals a delightful second bedroom/bonus room, offering flexibility for guests, storage or an imaginative retreat. Outside, the charm continues with a sizeable rear garden extending to approximately 50 metres, thoughtfully landscaped to balance hard and soft planting, complete with mature shrubs, peaceful seating areas and an attractive sun deck for relaxed afternoons; the view toward the neighbouring field, home to two Shetland ponies, adds a whimsical touch that makes time spent outdoors particularly memorable, while the option of off-street parking at the front—thanks to a dropped kerb—further enhances day-to-day convenience. The location, however, is the cottage’s true showstopper: set within the prized conservation area of Old Kilmaurs, the historic heart of the village, residents can enjoy a wonderfully traditional and close-knit feel with all amenities quite literally on the doorstep, including the mini-market across the road, the beloved local bakery next door, the pub and restaurant just moments away, and the train station offering effortless commuting to Ayrshire towns and Glasgow; families will appreciate the nearby primary school, while everyone benefits from the village’s mix of heritage charm, independent shops, friendly community spirit and excellent transport links. Altogether, this is a home that offers something delightfully different—character blended with modern comfort, a surprising amount of space, gardens that truly impress and a lifestyle rooted in convenience, village history and genuine appeal—making it a standout opportunity for anyone seeking a home that’s both unique and easy to love.
