THIS week's Ayrshire property of the week is an opportunity few will have seen before.

We take you to Perryston House - a stunning home which has been owned by its current owners for nearly half a decade - but now it is time for change.

The property is located close to the coastline around two miles south of Alloway village, birthplace of Robert Burns.

For the commuter there are excellent road and rail links to Glasgow and surrounding areas.

Looking at the property uitself, Perryston House is arguably one of the finest art-deco homes in Scotland, and enjoys a wonderfully private position surrounded by rolling Ayrshire farmland within close proximity to the coast.

Externally the approach to the property is a delight, being very private and scenic from a tree lined drive which, upon approaching the gardens, enjoys the backdrop of the Carrick Hills.

On entering the gardens from the drive there is a rose bed roundel with extensive parking and access to a large garage/workshop block with attached greenhouse.
