A stunning Ayrshire estate dating all the way back to 1771 has come on the market for offers over £725,000.
High Williamshaw near Stewarton is a charming grade-A Listed house dating which was built of sandstone under a slate roof.
It was originally built for a Lt Col T Donaldson, who had connections with the Royal Artillery and army and whose initials can be seen on the door lintel.
The house was extended for the family in 1862 with the addition of the adjoining wings, with further upgrades in the 1980s.
High Williamshaw is formed over three storeys and has architectural features including crow stepped gables, a nepus gable on the front elevation, raised ashlar margins and quoins.
The description states: "The ground floor comprises an entrance vestibule with glazed inner doors to the hallway.
