Dating from 1681, Bargany House is a late 17th century unfortified mansion house, built using stones from Barganny Keep . The mansion house was extended in about 1840, and a new three storey wing was added by The Earl of Stair to the north of the 17th century mansion between 1862 and 1876. Bargany House is a Category A listed building and retains much of the impressive original plasterwork/carvings which is believed to be Adam or Gibbons. The house fell into disrepair in the 1970's, but was completely refurbished in the 1980's. Over the last ten years, Bargany House has undergone further detailed and careful renovation work, restoring the original features whilst blending new, more contemporary, finishes.
Bargany House is one of the finest Category A listed mansions in the West of Scotland, and was the first unfortified mansion house to be built in Scotland. It is a four storey building, characterised by its crow-stepped end gables. The magnificent reception rooms make the most of the natural light, are both gracious and spacious, as well as being elegant and well proportioned. Of particular note is the quality of the plasterwork, the wooden panelling and the interior paintwork. Despite its size, this historic house has been refurbished to a high standard and has become a large, but easily managed, family home. Large windows, throughout the house, make sure that it is not just the reception rooms that are light and airy. Of particular note is how well the modern kitchen/breakfast/family room fits in to the fabric of the house and has become its focus. As with most of the main rooms, there are fabulous views from this room as well.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the spectacular dining room, followed by the drawing room, music room and library – all interlinked. On the ground floor are the study, cinema, games room, billiard room and gymnasium, below which are the cellars. The main bedroom suite is also beautifully proportioned; seven of the subsidiary bedrooms all have ensuite bathroom facilities. On the top floor is a large playroom. There is a fully renovated, self-contained annex in the south wing.
Surrounding Bargany House are gardens and grounds extending to about 6.83 acres. They consist mostly of formal lawns, flowerbeds and woodland. The valley of the Girvan Water is one of the most beautiful in the south west of Scotland. The river flows below the house on its northern flank and only adds to the unrivalled, protected, spectacular views over the surrounding parkland. A ¾ mile, private drive from the main road, through impressive woodland and past an ornamental lake, leads through stone gate piers into the grounds of Bargany House. At the back of the house is a useful range of outbuildings and garaging.

Bargany House is located in a dreamy rural setting in a secluded, parkland setting, at the end of a long drive and at the centre of an ancient and private rural estate. The house is in an elevated position with fabulous views over the surrounding parkland, the Girvan water (which flows close by) and 18th century Duke's Bridge. Bargany House is only 3 miles from the coastal town of Girvan, 18 miles south of Ayr and 7 miles from Turnberry, putting it within commuting distance of Glasgow. There are regular train services to Glasgow from Maybole (10.5 miles) and Ayr. Local services, including primary and secondary schools, are available in Girvan. Ayr provides a wide range of shops, supermarkets, professional services and schools, most notably Wellington School which provides private coeducation. Glasgow City Centre (55 miles – via M77) is also easily accessed by road. It is a vibrant and dynamic city with one of the UK's best shopping districts. Edinburgh, Scotland's famous capital city, lies just over 91 miles to the northeast. Prestwick Airport (22 miles) has regular low-cost flights to London and continental Europe. Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh Airport provide a wide range of domestic, European and international flights. The Troon Ferry (27 miles) takes about three hours to Belfast.
South Ayrshire, and more notably its coastline, is well known for its rich and varied landscape, lovely beaches, dairy and livestock farming, horse riding, walking, fishing and racing, forestry and famous golf courses. The Ayrshire coast is famous worldwide for golf, with championship courses at Royal Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry, all of which have hosted the Open Championship. Ayr Racecourse has regular race meetings, on the flat and over jumps, and hosts the Scottish Grand National and Ayr Gold Cup. Only a short distance to the north is the popular sailing area of the Firth of Clyde with yachting marinas at Girvan, Troon, and further up the coast at Largs and Inverkip.
