Foxcote was converted, refurbished and extended in 1982 to create a comfortable family home by leading Ayrshire Architect James Houston, senior partner of Houston and Dunlop.

Six years ago the present owners upgraded the property to include a new fitted kitchen and bathroom; installed gas fired central heating with a maxi Combi boiler, partial double glazing and upgraded the electrics and lighting. The house has two coal/wood burning open fires and is carpeted throughout, with the exception of the kitchen and utility room.

The house offers a large and welcoming hallway leading to three public rooms which include a spacious sitting room, study and dining room which look out onto a manicured lawn and flower beds; a dining kitchen, cloakroom, utility room with access to the double garage are on the ground floor, with three double, a single bedroom and family bathroom on the first floor.

The dining kitchen has a Rangemaster dual energy cooker, Belfast sink and fitted units. The utility room has a full Edwardian pantry extending the length of one wall.

The family bathroom is fully tiled with a bath-shower unit. The ground floor cloakroom has a toilet and wash hand basin. Throughout the house all sanitary ware products are classic white. The new owners may chose to create an ensuite facility for the Master bedroom in the single bedroom.

In the house there are three main areas of storage space; two lofts; and one main under-stair cupboard.

The double garage is adjoined to the house with direct access via a rear porch cloakroom. The garage doors are lightweight balanced over-doors. The roof of the garage was replaced in 2008. In addition to the double garage there is off-road parking for four cars.

Included in the sale is a garden studio / office which is fully equipped with separate phone and internet services.

In addition to the main house, a second external building, the Coachman’s cottage, is used for the storage of wood and garden furniture. This is a valuable space – which could be redeveloped into a guest cottage or additional house. The front gable end wall and loft doors were replaced in 2009.
