Posted: 2008/08/22
ARRIVING at a house called Craigknowe in Irvine - currently for sale though agents Savills at offers over £575,000 - you could be pardoned for thinking you are stepping back in time.
But inside this is a home for today.
In the kitchen, for example, there is a range cooker, an American-style fridge-freezer complete with a built-in flat-screen TV, and a wine cooler.
There is an area for informal dining with the utility room, laundry room and a store nearby.
Period details are evident in the home's drawing room and family room.
The ground floor also houses the dining room and office, guest bedroom and shower-room and conservatory with four more bedrooms, a bathroom and dressing room on the first floor.
Craigknowe, which dates from 1875 - a fact etched into the glass of those gas lamps - has another luxury touch, a detached entertainment room at the back of the house complete with a bar, plasma TV and snooker table.
