Historical Note
The original stately mansion house was constructed in 1834 for Sir James Dunlop by Glasgow architect James Hamilton.

The house was built in the Scottish-Jacobean
style with detailed gables and dormers, and with a dramatic and asymmetrical front elevation, “laced with strapwork”. This style was individualistic and makes the current Dunlop Manor truly unique in architecture.

The property is protected by a category ‘A’ listing.

Renovation Project
In 2014, Messrs Laurel Homes commenced the ambitious renovation and refurbishment programme which has sensitively restored a grand stately mansion house into a collection of only 9 bespoke grand conversion apartments. Prospective buyers who invest the time in an inspection will quickly recognise the extent and attention to detail of this beautiful renovation project which has been completed to craftsman like standards and which tastefully blends period and contemporary. Part of the planning agreement makes provision, in due course, for the building of 23 executive style detached homes, all of which will lie to the north of Dunlop Manor.

Situation
Dunlop Manor is located in pretty East Ayrshire countryside close by the village of Dunlop.

Dunlop Manor is situated amid parkland and formal garden grounds just off the A735 which connects the estate lands with Dunlop and onwards to Stewarton and Neilston.

The location is highly accessible for Glasgow and the Ayrshire coastline, Dunlop village is about 1.5 miles to the west and the larger town of Stewarton is about 3.5 miles to the south.

Dunlop has a primary school and Stewarton has a secondary school. Dunlop village has a
post office/general store and newsagents for everyday provisions, and a pleasant village public house and hotel. At Stewarton there is a more extensive range of shops and amenities that include a Sainsbury supermarket. The Ayrshire town of Kilmarnock is situated about 8.5 miles further south.

Stewarton and Dunlop both have main line railway stations. Trains offer a regular commuter service to and from Glasgow city (2 per hour with a journey time of approximately 25 minutes).

Glasgow city centre is about 16 miles to the north-east and as with most major cities provides an excellent range of professional services, higher education, cultural and retail facilities.

For those who are required to travel/commute, a combination of the A736 via Barrhead to Glasgow and the M77 provide excellent access to both Glasgow and the Ayrshire coastline. As stated above there is an excellent train service from Dunlop (1.5 miles) which takes 25 minutes to Glasgow Central. There are also main line railway stations at Stewarton (3.9 miles), Kilwinning (7 miles) and Irvine (11 miles). Travelling further afield is also made easy by access to the international airports of Prestwick (19.5 miles) and Glasgow (15.5 miles).

The local area provides numerous sporting and leisure opportunities with extensive walking, cycling and riding trails. As with much of Scotland, one is never too far from a golf course and Dunlop Manor is no exception with Ayrshire having one of the highest concentrations of local inland parkland courses and some of the internationally renowned links courses at the coast. The area is well served by outdoor and country pursuits with numerous local fishing, shooting and stalking opportunities.
