Description

Dunlop Manor is a magnificent grade A-listed Scots Baronial mansion designed by architect David Hamilton in the early 19th century for Sir James Dunlop. It continued to be owned by the Dunlop family until 1932 when it was purchased by East Ayrshire Council. Its architecture has a distinctly Scottish flavour with its dramatic roof line with turrets, cones, pyramids, ogees and splendid tourelles.   Built of blond sandstone under a slate roof, Dunlop Manor was divided in 2016 into luxury apartments which share immaculate communal areas and grounds. The apartment offered for sale occupies a ground floor position.
