It's the Good Life down on the farm

You can step back in time 50 years and, to a certain extent,  live off the land.

Low Pinmore is down a private track on the landward side of the Carrick Hills near Culroy.

This little piece of paradise is firmly rooted in the 20th century and clearly much loved by its owners.

Agents Galbraith have split it into two lots - offers over £495,00 to include all 69 acres.

Or for the house, steading and 12.5 acres . . . surely a bargain at offers over £275,000.

Time has stood still on the property, with the exterior  - with a so-typical cream with red window detailing - unchanged for a century or more.

Inside is largely stuck in the 1960s, but with a new bathroom addition.

And that is the appeal - rarely do untouched farmhouses and steadings come to market. This would be a period film-maker’s dream.

Potential is vast and the  three bed farmhouse requires complete modernisation.

It is the attached outbuildings that are the prize. Byres with all the old stalls,  tractor shed, stabling and a piggery could become accomodation.

Outwith the attached block there is a metal barn in rusty red and and several more outbuildings.

All the land is let for seasonal grazing, but will become available after Halloween.

Some of the fields have access to the Pinmore Burn for water.

The neatly tended vegetable patch next to the farmhouse looks very productive and includes a greenhouse.

And one of the sheds includes a copious amount of firewood to keep the burner going for  many seasons.

Whoever gets this property will be very lucky indeed. For viewing call Galbraith on Ayr 268181, offers over £495,000.
