If you have ever leafed through a trendy design magazine, you will know that there are certain houses that capture the imagination and take your breath away. Davaar Barn and Cottage is that such place, beautiful, stylish, impressive, but at the same time, a fun and functional place in which to live life to the full and to enjoy with friends and family.
Beautifully positioned in a tranquil location with spectacular views over the Firth of Clyde and beyond to Kintyre, a unique, three bedroom main residence, which has been formed by converting the original byre, in 2015, in the quiet hamlet of Corriecravie. It is now a fantastic family home and has the added bonus of a self-contained, newly renovated, appended, one bedroom cottage (ideal for holiday rentals) and a substantial detached garage/workshop, which is double brick, rendered and has the potential to be converted to offer additional residential accommodation or a commercial enterprise (STPP). Internally, the properties have been comprehensively renovated, redesigned and reworked since 2015 and now offer versatile family accommodation, formed over two substantial levels, with the barn living accommodation on the upper floor and the sleeping accommodation below. The barn has been configured like this to take in the breathtaking views from the upper level. Although the property also enjoys pleasant views from the lower floor.
Both properties have been very well upgraded both internally and externally, to create fantastic and flexible accommodation, which only a viewing will qualify. The bespoke interior offers sophisticated living space, which is inherent with a home of this age and character. When the current owners re-developed (mid 2015) this family home, they used luxurious, high-quality fittings and finishes and the latest in high-tech features to create a house that is the last word in sophistication and refined taste, including satellite broadband throughout the main property. This home is of the 21st century, designed for people who appreciate what modern thinking can do to boost their quality of life.
Great emphasis has been placed on the creation of easily managed and free-flowing space on a bright and fresh layout. The grounds are enclosed by a dry stone dyke wall to the front and the property is bounded by open fields to both the front and side. The gardens have been carefully designed to provide seasonal colour and Davaar Barn benefits from a raised gravel patio and lawned area. The cottage has a dedicated garden with a gravel patio and grass area. There is an extensive, gravelled driveway providing off-road parking for numerous vehicles, which leads to the detached garage/workshop, which offers a variety of uses.

The bright and spacious master bedroom is the last word in luxury and has a fitted wardrobe and a fully-tiled, en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms both have ample space for additional free standing furniture if required and have use of a contemporary, family bathroom suite.
From the reception hallway, the pine staircase takes you to the upper level, which is the perfect zone for entertaining, the open-plan kitchen extends into the living space, ensuring that the chef is never far away from the party.
