Set in a beautiful and isolated area of Ayrshire, Black Clauchrie House is a wonderful example of Edwardian Arts and Crafts architecture. The long winding track to the house sets the scene for the splendid seclusion the house enjoys. With an impressive ballroom doubling as a games room with vaulted ceilings and excellent acoustics, this lovely large house is perfect for parties and weddings. The large hall which can also be used as a games room has a table tennis table and a badminton net providing entertainment for when the weather lets you down.
A much loved family home the house makes an excellent rental property it is extremely comfortable and spacious. The public rooms are full of character. Tastefully furnished, they are warm and welcoming, with panelled walls and open log fires creating a relaxing atmosphere. The recently refurbished kitchen is both attractive and very well equipped.
The property has an element of luxury, on the first floor there is a large antique bath and a modern surround shower and the master bedroom is en suite and has a traditional four poster bed. The other bedrooms are all comfortable and practical. This house is a much loved home but you should be aware it is a work in progress and certain areas such as a bathroom and the conservatory are not fully complete as yet. Outside there is a large garden frequently described by guests as being a “secret garden” at the bottom of this magical garden is a small lochan which adds to the enchantment of this property. With sprawling grounds to walk and explore, there is an abundance of wildlife and deer, ducks, owls, pheasants and foxes are regularly sighted and the impressive Galloway Forest is near by. There is a great deal to do in the area and the lovely sandy South Ayrshire beaches and quaint towns are well worth a visit. There are also a number of excellent golf courses close by including Turnberry.
This idyllic property epitomises tranquillity and relaxation so much so that you will struggle to drag yourself away.
