A spacious, modernised farmhouse with five acres
Skernieland Farm is a home set in an idyllic location amidst the rolling Ayrshire countryside. The property is approached through an impressive gated entrance framed by stone pillars and wrought iron gate which opens onto a sweeping driveway that curves through open fields and leads to the house, where a generous gravel area offers ample parking and the paved courtyard creates a welcoming first impression. The U-shaped home, with its crisp white exterior and slate roof punctuated by dormer windows and traditional chimneys, sits gracefully within its landscaped setting. To the rear, beautifully maintained lawns stretch out toward open countryside while paved terraces provide the perfect setting for al fresco dining.
The accommodation begins with a hallway from where a staircase rises to the upper floor. From here, the house flows into a superb open-plan kitchen and living area. The kitchen is a statement in contemporary design, featuring a sweeping curved breakfast bar, sleek wooden cabinetry and high-quality stainless steel appliances. A striking extractor hood and recessed lighting add to the sense of style, while the adjoining living space is designed for both comfort and sociability.
The sitting room offers a contrasting yet complementary character a space of warmth and tradition. Here, a soaring ceiling with exposed wooden beams frames a handsome brick fireplace, where the fire becomes the natural focal point. A staircase with timber balustrades rises to a mezzanine level, adding architectural interest and a sense of openness.
There is a formal dining room and a bright airy conservatory with a tiled floor and lovely views of the surrounding gardens.
Upstairs, the accommodation unfolds across split levels. Five bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs offer flexibility for family, guests, work or hobbies, with the principal bedroom enjoying generous proportions. This family bathroom combines modern elegance with practical design, featuring a glass-enclosed shower, a separate bath, a sleek vanity unit with ample storage, and a heated towel rail all set beneath a warm wooden ceiling and bright lighting. Practicality is woven throughout the home, with a dedicated home office, a playroom, a utility room and a ground-floor shower/WC.
Beyond the gardens lies one of the property's most appealing features: a substantial paddock with the total land extending to approximately five acres. Fully enclosed and bordered by open countryside, it offers exceptional scope for equestrian use, hobby farming or simply enjoying a sense of space and freedom. Whether it's summer barbecues in the courtyard, quiet mornings in the conservatory, or watching horses graze in the paddock, Skernieland Farm is a home that embraces its rural setting.

I was instantly drawn to the sitting room here - the soaring ceiling with its exposed beams and the brick fireplace create such a warm and inviting heart to the house. It's one of those rare spaces that feels both impressive and comfortable, a place where you can imagine winter evenings by the fire or lively gatherings with family and friends.
