Gorgeous quirky villa with basement games room - Irvine

Near the beach. We live in a detached home over 4 levels, on the West Coast with the beaches within walking distance. Our home has a large modern kitchen, with breakfast bar for 4 people. There is a seperate large dining room that can seat 12 people. Through patio doors from the dining room is a large secluded patio area with BBQ and seating for 12 people. We have mature gardens full of herbs, berries and gorgeous plants- again a secluded area. There are 5 bedrooms, a games room with fuBball table, pool/snooker table, smart tv, monitors for connecting games consoles if you want to bring these and sofa. This area hosts the small utility area with a washing machine and separate dryer.

Bathrooms - the en suite has separate bath and shower cubicle and the main bathroom has an over bath shower with loo and wash hand basin.

Three living rooms - one in basement as described above, one open plan with lots of floor to ceiling windows with views into the garden. This room is on the first floor so is a gorgeous room with comfy leather sofas. The other cosy family room has a tv, books and is a great place to relax.

Our home is near to loads of supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and coffee houses. There is a bus stop a two minute walk away that has connections to coastal towns such as Troon, Prestwick, Saltcoats, Ardrossan and Ayr.

The beach is a 5 minute drive or a 25 minute walk away. The Harbour and beach area is up and coming with family owned award winning organic coffee houses, ice cream parlour, restaurants and pubs.

Set in a nice, quiet suburban area, you could walk to pubs and restaurants within 10 minutes. There is also access to local golf courses and a gym and swimming pool in a newly built leisure centre. Soft plays nearby for smaller kids, skate parks, Airspace (indoor trampoline park), Intu (indoor rock climbing and sky park) are a 25 minute drive away for the kids and adults alike.

This is our new home, we haven`t been here long and most furniture and items are new. We treat our home incredibly well and are very clean, hygienic and tidy; we would offer the same respect to any home we swapped with.
