WHAT was once the coach house for the Knock Castle estate, near Largs, in Ayrshire, is now a spacious six-bedroom home.

Complete with a self contained flat - it is now for sale through the Ayr office of agents CKD Galbraith with an asking price of offers over £499,000.

More than four times the size of a conventional family home, it has around 5,800 square feet of living space spanning two levels and including a covered paved courtyard with the living space extending around it. Sitting in around 2.6 acres, it has the added benefit of views to the Firth of Clyde.

"The size of The Coach House, together with its enclosed courtyard, offer a tremendous opportunity to a family purchaser or a buyer with a home based business, " point out the agents.

"The house is already split into two properties and could easily be divided further to create income generating letting accommodation."

A range of period features add to the property's charm - original coach house doors, beamed ceilings and circular windows.
