Woodside Castle is a stunning Scottish Category A listed property in its own wooded estate in Ayrshire.

The property is a spacious, well-proportioned castle with principal rooms of considerable character incorporating many attractive features including marble and stone fireplaces, ornate plasterwork and extensive wood panelling. The accommodation is over five floors and comprises reception hall, sitting room, inner hall, dining room, breakfast room, and kitchen on the ground floor, and on the first floor are the master bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom and four further bedrooms and a bathroom; the second floor has a living room and three further bedrooms and on the third floor are two further tower bedrooms. The property also has a self-contained basement flat which has a hall, sitting room and five bedrooms plus two bathrooms.
