LH502PD - Dunlop, East Ayrshire

This four-bedroom LH502PD sits quietly among the rolling fields and mature hedgerows of East Ayrshire. Its simple longhouse form, dark roof and black cladding give it the character of a contemporary agricultural building, while areas of weathered timber soften the exterior and connect it naturally to its rural setting.

Inside, the house has a more expressive personality. The central open-plan kitchen, dining and living space rises into a generous vaulted ceiling, with expansive glazing drawing daylight deep into the room and framing views across the surrounding countryside. Dark kitchen cabinetry and wall panelling provide a dramatic counterpoint to the pale ceiling and polished concrete floor, while leather, timber and richly textured furnishings introduce warmth.

A freestanding wood-burning stove forms a natural focal point without interrupting the openness of the room. Elsewhere, muted colours create calm and restful bedrooms, while a carefully planned boot room provides the practical storage needed for everyday country living — including space for muddy boots and the family dog.

The accompanying film on the Home Page captures the defining quality of the finished home: a sense that life here follows the changing light, weather and seasons. Both contemporary and deeply settled in its landscape, the house is also available to visit as a HebHomes viewable home.
