Description
Ayton Castle, designed by James Gillespie Graham, is a stunning baronial-style building situated in a 160.56-acre estate in Berwickshire, Scotland. The property boasts impressive architecture, with a five-storey Great Tower and a formal garden to the southern front. The interior features a grand hall, inner hall, gallery, and 12 bedrooms, most with a south-facing aspect. The estate includes a portfolio of attractive cottages, gate lodges, and stable flats, which contribute to the income generated by the estate. The grounds are managed by a woodland management plan and an integrated land management plan, and feature a 16th-century dovecote, restored in the 18th century, and a subterranean ice-house. The stable block, a Category B listed building, offers stabling for nine horses, various loose boxes, and other facilities. Ayton Castle is located near the village of Ayton, with easy access to Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh, and Newcastle, making it an ideal location for those seeking a rural retreat with plenty of amenities nearby.
