After spending so much time in our house over the last eighteen months, many may be itching for a change of environment, or to escape the city and make the move to Ayrshire.

We don't want to toot our own horn, but there is so much beauty to be found here, which makes the prospect of settling down in an apartment by the sea or a house in the countryside even more of an appealing one.

Some properties have proved more popular than others, though, and according to Zoopla, there are three in Ayrshire which have been viewed a combined total of 4,248 times. We thought we'd take a look at them. Could they be yours?

3. Peesweep Brae, Cumnock

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

Lots of people have been having a peep at Peesweep Brae over the last month or so, and judging by the photos which show this unique and extremely spacious eight bed property in all its glory, it's not hard to see why. 

The ground floor consists of four very large reception rooms, with two interconnecting kitchens, a utility room and bathroom.

2. Studio in Largs

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

If the seaside town of Largs is calling your name, perhaps this cosy first floor studio which has proved a real hit with property-hunters could be for you.

Situated close to the waterfront and promenade, and boasting sea views, the flat comprises of a hallway, lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Everything you need.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

In terms of travel, as well as the town benefitting from a yacht marina and mainline train station to Glasgow, in just a couple of minutes walk, you can also access the daily ferry service to the Isle of Cumbrae. Get ready for some exploring!

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

If a permanent stay isn't for you, this property is ideal for renting out or using as a holiday home. With modern interior and coming in at a relatively affordable price of £12,000, it's a hard one to pass up. Find out more about the property here.

1. Millhill Cottage, Stevenston

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

Despite some stiff competition, the most popular property as viewed on Zoopla recently goes to this traditional farmhouse in Millhill.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

This one is definitely a do-up job, but for those who fancy getting their hands dirty and taking on a real passion project, this is the perfect fit. 

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

The cottage is set in a sizeable plot within a popular residential setting in Stevenston and is one of two neighbouring properties being auctioned, each offering a wonderful development opportunity either as individual units or together to create a larger property.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

The cottage comprises of a reception hall, large reception room, secondary hall with garden access, bathroom, large kitchen and a large room accessed separately with patio doors.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

For the keen gardeners among us, there is a garden area immediately to the rear, and another super garden area to the front beyond the shared drive.

Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald:

Millcroft Cottage also includes a sizeable plot and three garages.

It is up for sale by online auction at a cool £75,000 ending Friday, July 30, so be quick.
