IT is a ranch-style home more suited to the Hamptons in Long Island than the suburbs of Lanark.

But this four-bedroomed luxury lodge has all the pizzazz of properties in the exclusive US enclave – which boasts some of New York’s most affluent movers and shakers – because it is modelled on the beach house from the Jack Nicholson movie Something’s Gotta Give.

The 2003 American romantic comedy stars Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton who find love for each other in later life, despite being polar opposites.

Keaton plays Erica Barry, a divorced Broadway playwright who partly lives in a Hamptons beach house.

Mark and Carole Rutherford, who own the £925,000 property in Kirkfield Gardens which rests between Edinburgh and Glasgow, said they were influenced to recreate the lodge from the home in the box office hit.

“We loved the Hamptons beach house in the Jack Nicholson movie Something’s Gotta Give, and it inspired us to build our own home,” said Mr Rutherford.

“It seemed a bit of a long shot at first, to create a Hamptons beach house in Scotland. We did lots of research and eventually found a company, Log and Cedar Homes, in Doune, who we liked. At the time, we were living in a 300-year-old house nearby, so we felt like a change. And this really was a change.”

A long tree-lined drive brings you up to Kirkfield Gardens, a traditional Canadian cedar lodge with wooden decking and wrap-around verandah.

The kitchen includes handcrafted wood and cream painted cupboards and a duck egg blue central island and marble worktops; the subtle colours and warm wood contributes to the relaxed, airy feel of the house.

The ground floor also includes a study and family TV room.

A stylish staircase leads up to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms, all en-suite. Each of the bedrooms has a high, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and far-reaching views; one bedroom comes with a separate living room and mezzanine level.

Kirkfield Gardens also includes two self-contained apartments, with open plan lounge and kitchen, bedroom and en-suite in each, ideal for teenagers or older parents, relatives or guests.

Outside there is a three-car garage and studio and multimedia room which could easily be used as a games room, home cinema or gym.

Wine lover Mr Rutherford has also created his own purpose-built wine cellar outside.

“There are more than 50 windows throughout the house and the views are wonderful – over the Clyde Valley, out towards Ben Lomond,” he says.

“Because we built this house on land that was part of our original grounds, we had the luxury of time and we could get it the way we wanted it.

The Kirkfield Gardens property is on sale with estate agent Savills.
