4 bed villa for sale

Clark Street, Kilmarnock KA1

Welcome to Lilymount, a truly iconic detached villa of distinction and one of Kilmarnock’s most remarkable homes—once known as Robertson Mound and steeped in rich history dating back to the late 1800s. Beautifully poised on an elevated plot behind secure electric gates, this Grade C Listed residence commands immediate attention with its timeless architectural charm, sprawling layout, and period detailing that whispers of a bygone era.

As you step through the welcoming vestibule, you’re greeted by a grand hallway that flows seamlessly into the heart of the home. The front-facing bay-windowed lounge is the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, centred around a striking wood-burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings. For those who love to entertain, the formal dining room—framed by its unique curved bay—offers a majestic space for special occasions, while the impressive open-plan kitchen and family room at the rear delivers a modern social hub with sleek cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances, and plenty of room for relaxing or hosting. A handy pantry, separate laundry room, and downstairs WC provide thoughtful practicality, and an additional family or TV room offers even more flexibility—equally suitable as a home office or fifth bedroom. The real showstopper lies at the rear of the property: A vast garden room currently used as a home gym, complete with its own WC and shower—this versatile annex could easily transform into a self-contained teenage retreat or luxurious granny wing with its own private entrance. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms await, including a rare master en-suite—a prized feature in homes of this vintage—complemented by a stylish family bathroom on the half-landing. Every corner of Lilymount offers something special, with original features retained throughout, from intricate cornicing to stately fireplaces and soaring ceilings. A small section to the side of the property is adjoined to a neighbouring premises under separate ownership, although this has minimal impact on the property as a whole. Outside, the lifestyle offering continues with an extensive plot that includes beautifully manicured gardens, multiple seating and entertaining areas, a private patio, sweeping lawns, and an abundance of off-street parking leading to a detached double garage. And if all of that wasn’t enough, the location seals the deal—situated just moments from Kilmarnock’s vibrant town centre, with its mix of shops, restaurants, cafés, and cultural venues, plus superb transport links via both rail and bus, making commuting a breeze. Lilymount isn’t just a house—it’s a rare opportunity to own a slice of local history wrapped in contemporary comfort, style, and flexibility, perfect for modern family living.
