A beautifully restored country house with outstanding lifestyle amenities.
Set amidst more than 5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, Boghall is an elegant detached country residence extending to approximately 3,057 sq ft, further enhanced by an extensive range of traditional stone outbuildings arranged around a charming courtyard setting. Approached via electric wrought iron gates with intercom-controlled entry, a gravel driveway leads to the house, which occupies a private and picturesque setting surrounded by open countryside. The handsome façade, mature landscaping and generous proportions create an immediate sense of arrival, while the accommodation combines period character with the comforts of modern family living.
The ground floor forms the heart of the home and offers an impressive balance of formal and informal living space. At its centre is a superb dining kitchen featuring bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island, creating an ideal space for family life and entertaining. High ceilings, intricate cornicing, large sash windows and a stone fireplace blend period elegance with contemporary functionality. Adjoining the kitchen is a bright breakfast room with full-height glazed doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens. An exposed stone wall provides an attractive focal point, while the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces makes it ideal for entertaining. The reception accommodation includes a generous family living room centred around a stone fireplace and enjoying views across the grounds. Complementing this is a beautifully proportioned sitting room featuring decorative cornicing, wall panelling, a wood-burning stove and French doors opening directly onto the terrace.
Further practical accommodation includes a substantial utility and boot room fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a Belfast sink and extensive storage, together with a pantry, cloakroom and WC. Positioned on an intermediate half level is a particularly impressive home office, housed within a contemporary glazed extension featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber trusses, rooflights and delightful views across the gardens, creating an exceptional environment for modern home working. This level also incorporates a double bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom.
The first floor offers spacious and well-balanced bedroom accommodation arranged around a generous landing. The principal bedroom enjoys elevated views across the surrounding landscape and is complemented by a generous dressing area with extensive fitted storage and a luxurious contemporary en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms are located on this level and are served by a stylish family bathroom. Together with the accommodation on the half level below, the layout provides excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation and home working, while maintaining privacy for the principal suite.
GARDEN & GROUNDS
Beyond the principal house, an impressive range of traditional courtyard outbuildings complements the exceptional outdoor amenities. The property further benefits from a paddock, riding area, all-weather tennis court and kitchen garden. Part of the traditional outbuilding range has previously been used for stabling, requiring upgrading, offering excellent equestrian potential and further enhancing the property's versatility.
A particular feature of Boghall is its outstanding setting and extensive grounds, extending to more than 5 acres. The house is surrounded by mature trees, established hedging and expansive lawns, creating a peaceful and private environment with a wonderful sense of seclusion.
To the rear, a generous terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. The formal kitchen garden, incorporating a series of raised beds, offers an attractive space for growing seasonal produce, while the adjoining paddock, riding area and tennis court provide superb recreational and equestrian facilities. Attractive views across the surrounding farmland and rolling Ayrshire countryside further enhance the property's rural appeal.

For me, what I loved most about Boghall is the sense of space, privacy and lifestyle it offers. Set within more than five acres, with traditional courtyard outbuildings, a paddock, riding area and tennis court, it provides a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of country living. Combined with elegant interiors and wonderful views across the Ayrshire countryside, it is a truly special family home.
