The exclusive development will be formed of three exceptional, high-specification houses -- Hazel Tree Cottage, Farrier House and Paddock View. Each is designed by award winning Thomson Hunter Associates and Oakwrights and built by renowned Oak-Frame specialist Iain Hendry.
The houses are set in the walled garden of Daisy Bank House, a restored Georgian mansion, on the edge of the Ayrshire village of Tarbolton. There are beautiful open countryside views to the front.
The purchase price of each building plot is £110,000. The build cost of Hazel Tree Cottage is £285,000 while Farrier House and Paddock View are each £385,000.
Fiona Fulton of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a really wonderful opportunity to create a dream home, with a simply stunning design, and with the ability to tailor aspects of the build to your own preferences. The setting is also wonderful, with lovely views, and in the grounds of Daisy Bank House, an elegant 18th century country house designed by an architect from the Robert Adams group.
“Oakwrights homes offer a superb blend of character, from the use of exposed oak and glazing, plus energy efficiency features including an air-source heat pump and luxurious interior finishes. These three homes will be quite exceptional and they offer the chance to create a characterful, quality build with all three homes offering bespoke options and real value investments.”
The purchase of the building plots is not liable to LBTT since each plot is priced below the current threshold, thus saving a considerable sum in tax.
