Annanhill House is a magnificent A-listed Georgian residence on the outskirts of Kilmarnock, originally built for the Dunlop family. The earliest parts of the house date from around 1700, with significant alterations carried out in the 1820s that gave the building its present classical form.

By the late twentieth century, the house had fallen into disrepair. Years of neglect had left the structure deteriorating, and many of its architectural features were at risk of being lost. In 1989, a major programme of restoration and conversion was undertaken. The work carefully preserved the building’s historic character while adapting it to accommodate six generously proportioned dwellings.

As part of the wider vision for the site, a new development was introduced within the grounds. Designed in a Georgian style to reflect the character of the main house, the new ‘stables’ development created twenty additional homes. The layout and detailing were designed to form a coherent setting that complemented the restored mansion.

The project offered a balance of preservation and renewal, securing the future of a significant historic building while bringing new life to the estate.
