description

The manor is isolated around 2.5 miles northeast of Dundonald, near the south bank of the Irvine , which at this point forms the border between South and East Ayrshire . The symmetrically constructed, two-story mansion has an elongated floor plan. The south-facing front is five axes wide, with the middle part protruding slightly. The central entrance portal is designed with a semicircular fighter window and is flanked by pilasters that support a cornice . Fairlie House closes with a slate platform roof . The five massive, lined up chimneys are striking.

Fairlie Lodge

The Fairlie Lodge flanks the southern driveway to Fairlie House. The whitewashed one-story building is located directly on the A759 . The gable surfaces are stylized as triangular gables. A simple all-round cornice in black color delimits the area. Later additions can be found to the side and to the rear.
