 Bowmanston Steading is an outstanding property located in an attractive rural setting in the heart of the Ayrshire countryside. Open views of rolling wooded countryside interspersed with ponds and lochs are available from all parts of the property. The Steading is divided into 6 individual contemporary country homes with many unique and individual features whilst being compliant with modern building standards.
Bowmanston is a well known local landmark in a pocket of untouched countryside just 4 miles from Ayr. Within sight of the Steading lies Loch Fergus, where, legend has it; King Fergus rested his army on the eve of his victorious battle against King Coil (better known as Old King Cole). South East lies Martnaham Loch, a site of special scientific interest, renowned in conservation circles for its wetland flora, ancient woodland, rare fungi and bird life.
Bowmanston, which dates from the mid-eighteenth century, was the most outlying farm of the Culzean Estate. The Farmhouse and Steading were subject to improvements during the 19th Century when the Ailsa family undertook a program of enlarging their agricultural properties. However, the buildings suffered considerably during the post-war years and it is only now that they have been restored to their original handsome appearance. The original Courtyard has been recreated and period details have been sympathetically restored. The result is a stunning development, which sits naturally in its beautiful rural setting. It represents that rare achievement: historic architectural design ideal for modern living.
The six houses provide a range of accommodation sizes and styles. The designs maximise the space and light inherent in the original historic farm buildings and incorporate material of the highest quality whilst maintaining the character of the steading. The houses are finished to a high standard with kitchens by Kelvin, tiling by Porcelanosa and Blairs of Scotland windows.
The six houses are arranged around a delightful central courtyard. They each have their own garden and have been designed to provide privacy and to benefit from the wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.
