A STUNNING flat in a handsome South Ayrshire building once partly owned by the wife of a French aristocrat is set to go up for auction.
The two bedroom "Duchess" apartment is part of a building originally owned by the Duchess de Coigny - otherwise known as Henrietta Dundas Dalrymple-Hamilton - and was built in around 1850. 
It's the first time in more than 100 years that it's been available as a residence.
The description on the Future Property Auctions website mentions "beautiful original features such as a tiled entrance room, entrance arch, staircase, cornicing, ceiling roses and large windows making the rooms very bright".
"The Duchess apartment is truly unique. Stunning, fully refurbished, two bedroom Victorian property located minutes from the world famous Turnberry Golf Resort."
The property is described as a "perfect investment property with high demand for short-term rentals".
It comprises a reception hallway, large lounge, master bedroom, second double bedroom, shower room and dining kitchen. Parking is available to the rear.
"The world famous Trump Turnberry golf course and resort is only a short distance away and South Ayrshire has long been recognised as a golfing hub."
