General
 Highlees is a very fine, traditional Ayrshire Farmhouse much extended and improved by the current owners and very privately situated between Dundonald and Troon in South Ayrshire. Completely on its own, Highlees is about one mile from the village of Dundonald which has local services and a primary school. The town of Troon is a short drive away, some 2½ miles, with an excellent range of amenities including good primary and secondary schools for all ages, a variety of sporting facilities and an excellent range of shops. There are a number of golf courses around Troon including Royal Troon and a yacht marina. Glasgow and Ayr are within easy reach via the newly improved A77 and M77 and Prestwick Airport is less than 5 miles away with a full range of regular domestic and international flights. There is a railway station in Troon providing half hourly service to Glasgow and beyond.
DESCRIPTION
In a secluded and sheltered position, Highlees is a charming traditional Ayrshire Farmhouse constructed of stone and slate on 2 storeys around a U shaped courtyard. The original Farmhouse has been much extended and improved into a substantial country house incorporating 4 reception rooms and a magnificent snooker room with gallery above. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms/shower rooms and further ancillary accommodation, Highlees is a substantial and spacious family house. The House overlooks a lovely garden through which a burn runs. There is mature woodland around the property providing an air of peace and tranquillity. Attached to the Farmhouse are stone outbuildings formerly byres and stabling now used for storage, stables and workshops. These buildings have considerable potential either for extending the house further or for separate residential units subject to planning permission being obtained. There is also a substantial lockable store/garage with concrete floor currently used for car storage and a useful hay shed. The grounds include woodland and a small paddock and further land would be available on a long term grazing arrangement if required.
Idyllically situated, Highlees is a country property of rare quality with peace and privacy yet easily accessible from Ayr, Troon and Glasgow.
