An Ayr home on the market has been described as a "once in a generation" opportunity to buy one of Scotland's finest family homes.
Perryston House, on the outskirts of Alloway, dates back to the 1930s and has been home to the same family for over 50 years.
The eight-bedroom property is surrounded by ten acres of land which includes a paddock and a lovely tree lined driveway.
The main accommodation is extensive, offering versatile living spaces and is filled with period features, including a grand staircase, original fireplaces, wood panelling, and stunning Art Deco bathrooms.
It is being marketed by Stonefield Estate Agents for offers in excess of £950,000.
The description states: "The entrance hall welcomes you with an imposing staircase leading to the upper landing.
"Off the reception hall, the main drawing room offers picturesque garden views, a beautiful focal point blonde sandstone fireplace, and French doors that open into a superb sunroom with sliding doors to a paved patio.
"The library, also accessible from the entrance hall, exudes a bright and serene atmosphere, featuring inset bookcases, cabinetry, a focal fireplace, and views over the rear lawn.
"The dining room, with large picture windows on three sides, floods with natural light and looks onto the garden; a single door connects it to the hallway and the kitchen.
"The country style kitchen, with its dining area and adjacent larder, is well equipped with granite worktops, high quality wall and floor mounted cabinets, and premium integrated appliances.
"A door leads outside to a rear patio sitting area, a fantastic space for family gatherings and alfresco evening dining.
"The aforementioned east wing houses a second staircase, a family room, study, two bedrooms, bathroom, and utility room, providing versatile accommodation. A cloakroom/WC and storeroom complete the ground floor.
"The first floor opens to a spacious and bright landing and hallway, leading to an exquisite principal bedroom with a luxurious Art Deco en suite bathroom, a spacious dressing room and a balcony overlooking the garden and grounds.
"There are five additional well proportioned bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and a wonderful family bathroom, also in Art Deco style.
"A shower room, linen cupboard, and storeroom complete the first floor accommodation. The lower ground floor serves as a practical space, currently used as a workshop, gun room, log store, and boiler room.
"The gardens and grounds surrounding Perryston House are impeccably maintained, a real testament to the current owners with expansive manicured lawns, variety of mature shrubs and trees and evergreen hedging providing additional privacy.
"To the front of the property is a paddock perfect for horses or hobby livestock."
