An exceptionally rare opportunity… “Gracefield” is a unique Detached Seafront Home of immense character & charm, originally built circa 1920’s overlooking Prestwick promenade, enjoying true panoramic sea views sweeping along the Ayrshire coastline with the Isle of Arran & Alisa Craig on the horizon.
This elegant home features an imposing stone pillared entrance onto an expansive courtyard which provides generous private parking with a detached double garage providing secure parking/storage. Private gardens extend around the property, lawned either side & across the sea view frontage, whilst a feature decked area is accessed from the living/dining/kitchen.
From the courtyard Gracefield displays fine architectural details, from its focal point arched main door entrance flanked by detailed windows, natural sandstone exterior finish rising to the high roofline topped by distinctive tall chimneys …whilst the sea view elevation is dominated by its picture windows to maximise the ever changing sea views.
Internally, traditional character features are retained, enhanced by a modern specification - in particular the kitchen & bathroom fittings. The main staircase is complemented by a 2nd (“maids”) stair (historically likely to have been for household staff) which enhances the flow/accessibility of this substantial home.
The expansive accommodation extends to approx’ 4400 sq ft (excl’ basement), easily providing flexible family accommodation or appealing to those wishing flexible space in which to entertain …comprising 9/10 main apartments over 2 levels with the front facing apartments enjoying panoramic sea views.
In particular the ground floor - main entrance through vestibule onto a most welcoming reception hall, impressive bay windowed formal lounge, semi-open plan living room with the separate sun room ahead inviting one to relax and “bathe” in the sea views, a wonderful bay windowed family room sits open-plan style to the extended dining/kitchen which features a stylish array of base/wall cabinets with integrated appliances, centrally a substantial breakfasting island serves as the “heart” of the kitchen area overlooking an extended array of patio doors which open onto the elevated decking - providing a connected outdoor space, a secondary hallway from the dining kitchen provides access to a laundry, utility, store & downstairs cloakroom/wc – all conveniently located adjacent to the secondary rear entrance/exit with its stable door design. In addition there is access to a useful basement storage area located below the “maids staircase”.
The main staircase from the reception hall rises to an expansive upper hall which befits this elegant home, providing access onto 6 bedrooms… with No 1 the master bedroom (en-suite unfinished) & bedroom No 3 to the front, bedroom Nos 2 and 4 situated behind these respective rooms whilst Nos 5 & 6 are located in the rear wing adjacent to the maids staircase. A main bathroom is located adjacent to bedrooms 3 & 4 whilst a shower room/wc is located adjacent to bedrooms 5 & 6.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – D. Solar roof mounted panels are discreetly installed on the south elevation. Private lawned gardens with traditional stone boundary wall extend across the sea view frontage of Gracefield with a private gate leading directly onto the promenade. The side gardens areas are tucked behind rendered privacy walling to match the main house frontage. As aforementioned, the courtyard provides highly valued private parking for multiple vehicles together with a hardstanding private play area. The double garage has remote door access whilst a very useful attached “Office” is available for those wishing to work remotely from the main house.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire's "property hotspot", with its vibrant/well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. This elegant home will appeal to select clients seeking a Unique Seafront Home, perhaps of particular interest to Glasgow based buyers/those relocating from South of the Border, seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance or indeed retirement.
Graeme Lumsden, BLACK HAY Estate Agency Director/Valuer comments...
" My own family connection is with the Mull of Kintyre and I am forever linked to the appeal of sea views, yet I have mostly lived in the countryside …secretly I yearn for a sea view as the seascape can change literally by the minute, whilst the countryside landscape is very much a seasonal change.
Gracefield is a wonderful opportunity …unique, elegant, substantial …enjoying fabulous panoramic sea views.
After 39 Years in the property industry, marketing/selling a myriad of homes …Gracefield easily secures the accolade of being a very Special Home. It will be a very lucky Buyer that settles in to enjoy all its qualities …and of course that magical sea view. “

* New to Market - Available to View by Private Appointment Only * A wonderful opportunity to acquire a Charming Traditional Detached Home, circa 1860's, deceptive externally, cleverly concealing its unique accommodation of 13 Main Apartments, extending to circa 4000 square feet, over 2 levels.
Flexibility in terms of how one can use a larger home is often an easy way of summarising a large number of apartments within a larger house however in our opinion Abington provides true flexibility as it can offer independent living space to suit a growing family, grandparents requiring assisted living, those looking for separate "work from home" space or perhaps the option for Air BNB style accommodation/income (subject to any required local authority permissions).
This superbly presented home combines its original character with a quality contemporary specification, the current owners having clearly enhanced the property during their ownership, now presented in "ready-to-move-in" condition.
The Main House comprises - On the ground floor, entrance vestibule onto the reception hall, formal lounge, separate living room/snug, luxury style kitchen which is generously appointed with focal point centre island, integrated appliances - on open-plan style with the adjacent dining/family room, secondary hallway with 2 bedrooms (Nos 4 & 5) off plus useful utility area & separate cloak/boot room. On the upper level, the "master" bedroom (No 1) with en-suite & separate dressing room, 2 further bedrooms (Nos 2 & 3), a useful study together with the main bathroom serving the additional bedrooms on this level.
The Guest Accommodation - accessed via the secondary hallway on the ground floor, with discreet staircase leading to this "hidden" accommodation, comprising bedroom No 6 with a separate shower room/wc.
The Annex - presently providing independent accommodation for the owners parents, accessed via either the secondary hallway on the ground floor or rear external patio door entrance, comprising on ground floor, lounge, separate kitchen, whilst on upper level 2 further bedrooms (Nos 7 & 8) with No 7 featuring an en-suite.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - D. Private gardens are situated to the front & rear, the front hedged for privacy, with monobloc/tarmacadam driveway which extends from front/side to rear providing multiple parking (incl' electric charging point). An attached garage provides secure parking/additional storage. The rear gardens are of larger size, lawned with patio area, summer house and "hidden seating area" - a welcoming space for children to enjoy or parents/friends to relax when the warm/sunny weather beckons.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire's "property hotspot", with its vibrant/well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. This elegant home will appeal to select clients seeking a Unique Seafront Home, perhaps of particular interest to Glasgow based buyers/those relocating from South of the Border, seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance or indeed retirement.
Graeme Lumsden, BLACK HAY Estate Agency Director/Valuer comments...
" Over almost 4 decades within the property industry I have enjoyed marketing & selling many different styles & values of property. I have watched the evolution within the housing market driven in-part by changing lifestyles/workplaces bringing new demands from homebuyers.
Traditional Premium Homes can struggle to provide the flexibility that is now so desirable ...however Abington successfully delivers all the positives of owning a Traditional Character Home ...for instance, not being squeezed into a New Homes Development with repetitive house styles and the feeling of being boxed-in ...whilst being able to also deliver the flexibility to accommodate changing circumstances & individual requirements. Abington can easily welcome a family wishing to spill out into all the available space or it can divide itself into what is needed.
In my view, the New Owners can have it all ...flexible, adaptable with all the joy of owning a substantial Character Home ...the current owners have done all the hard work ...the New Owners only have to enjoy it. "

"Anchor Cottage" ...a wonderful opportunity, tucked within most admired yet easily missed Mansewell Road, a short walk from Prestwick’s sweeping seafront/promenade. A charming character home of Semi Detached Chalet Villa style with a most appealing cottage style exterior. Featuring an attractive blonde sandstone facade overlooking attractive sloping lawned gardens which serve as the main front entrance, noting there are also 2 side gated entrances and a valued private driveway/detached garage (re-roofed with remote control door) to the rear.
Deceptive externally, internal viewing reveals a home of immense character & charm, larger proportioned main apartments are featured, complemented by eye-catching high ceilings with fine decorative plasterwork detailing whilst the front facing apartments enjoy pleasing mature garden aspects and elevated views from the upper apartments (bedrooms) include glimpses of Arran on the horizon.
Substantial traditional homes in Prestwick remain highly desirable with Mansewell Road enjoying the favoured “seafront side” of Prestwick’s thriving town centre which means it is a very convenient walk to the sweeping promenade/seafront. This style of Traditional Home is particularly valued by family buyers, Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside and those relocating from elsewhere seeking a home by the coast.
Ready to “move-in”, Anchor Cottage was a much loved home serving its previous owners for approx’ 50 years, the spacious apartments easily accommodating a growing family, or equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. The current owner purchased the property approx’ 4 years ago, relocating from south of the border (and now moving to be nearer family). The property has been sympathetically refurbished by the current owner at considerable expense as it was requiring modernisation when purchased, however it still retains much valued character. The twin level accommodation layout offers flexibility – originally 2 public, 5 bedrooms, later utilised as 3 Public/4 Bedrooms, now one of the bedrooms has been reconfigured as an “Upper Bathroom” to serve the bedrooms on that level.
In particular, the accommodation on the ground floor comprises, welcoming reception hall with fabulous period spiral staircase wrapping around a substantial centre post (reputed to have been part of ship’s mast, although unconfirmed) displaying wonderful aged timber finish, a most impressive formal bay windowed lounge, separate dining room with further public room currently serving as family or living room (alternative bedroom No 4 if required), bedroom No 1, a very stylish refitted “Galley” style kitchen with integrated appliances - leading through the rear vestibule which in-turn opens onto a charming conservatory which overlooks the enclosed gardens, the ground floor bathroom has been re-fitted nestling discreetly under the main staircase whilst a most useful modern utility with wc is positioned off the rear vestibule beyond the kitchen
Rising up the wonderful staircase, passing the half-level window alcove, one reaches the upper hallway which provides access to 2 further bedrooms – positioned either side of a former additional bedroom which has been reconfigured to serve as a luxury style bathroom conveniently serving the upper level – these 2 spacious double bedrooms (Nos 2 & 3) enjoy wonderful elevated garden views and glimpses across adjacent distant homes to the horizon which features the partial outline of the Isle of Arran (on clear days).
Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC – E. The good sized gardens to the front & rear are a valued additional feature of the property, well established providing privacy and welcome outdoor space in which to relax on the best of days – the front garden a picturesque foreground to the property whilst the rear combining an inviting patio area and natural lawn. There are 3 gated pedestrian entrances, 1 to the front & 2 to the side, a gated private driveway to the rear provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage with remote controlled door.
Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. With Glasgow approx’ 30 miles away Prestwick properties are particularly popular with Glasgow based buyers relocating (knowing the value of these style of homes in Glasgow!) …those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow …and of course local buyers seeking a larger family proportioned home within easy walking distance of the seafront.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“As I celebrate 40 Years in the property industry it is fair to say that every home is special in its own way to its owners …however I confess to perhaps having a soft-spot for Traditional Homes as they illustrate through their longer history that we are merely custodians of the home that we own …until the next person moves in …however, what joy that home can bring to each & every owner.
When I sold Anchor Cottage in 2021 I commented - the new owner will indeed be blessed to own this very special home – one which features a wonderful staircase at its heart …circa 50 years of footsteps of its current owners up n’ down …and who knows how many years that staircase will enjoy the footsteps of its new owners.
Luckily for someone, this Charming Home is available to purchase in 2026 and the successful purchaser can enjoy being part of its history for many years to come.”

“Laighmuir Cottage” ….a charming Character Home. This Traditional Detached Villa dates from 1878 with its visually appealing Chalet Style design thoughtfully complemented by the uniquely patterned slate work …it simply makes one pause & smile at the subtle skill displayed by a renowned local roofer who undertook the re-roofing works in 2018.
Adding to its considerable appeal is the most appealing & well proportioned 6/7 Main Apartment Accommodation (extending to just over 2000 sq ft) featured over 2 levels which provides flexibility of use – presently configured as 2 public rooms, 4 bedrooms plus conservatory. Internally, original character features remain, complemented by a modern specification – particularly the 2 bathrooms.
The property is centrally positioned within Dunlop, set amidst mature private gardens whilst conveniently a private driveway with detached double garage is located to the side.
The accommodation comprises on ground floor – entrance vestibule leading onto a welcoming reception hall, bay windowed lounge and dining room are located to the front whilst an additional “downstairs” bedroom (No 4) is positioned behind the lounge to the rear – this could easily be utilised as a 3rd public room if required, the kitchen is also to the rear whilst a desirable larger size conservatory overlooks the enclosed rear gardens, finally the very stylish main bathroom is located off the reception hall. On the upper level – a larger upper hallway/landing easily adapts as an informal study area whilst also leading onto 3 further bedrooms (Nos 1, 2 & 3) with the “master” bedroom (No1) featuring a modern en-suite.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Private mature gardens are situated the front, side & rear. The aforementioned double garage provides secure parking/additional storage whilst the private driveway provides off-street parking.

It is popular locally within Ayrshire, however of particular appeal to homeowners commuting to Glasgow or Prestwick/Ayr etc. Local amenities including convenience shopping. The local school is Dunlop Primary School. Bus & train services are available with the train station in Dunlop being a notable attraction for homeowners seeking convenience commuting (a short walk from the property).
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ Over almost 4 decades within the property industry I have enjoyed marketing & selling many different styles & values of property. On one hand it would be professional to say that I don’t have favourites ...however being honest, I started out selling traditional homes in the West End and South Side of Glasgow …it’s fair to say that I have never lost my love particularly of Victorian/Edwardian homes and the Art Nouveau/Deco eras …indeed I have lived for many years in a Traditional Home in Galloway dating from the 1840’s.
So… when I saw/visited Laighmuir Cottage it brought a broad smile to my face, knowing that we are all simply custodians of the homes in which we live, forming part of their history …I appreciated that the current owners have certainly enjoyed their time as owners, now reluctantly moving as the beautiful far north of Scotland has captured their hearts.
The undoubted visual appeal of Laighmuir Cottage, its substantial/character accommodation and that joyful slate roof design await the arrival of the successful new owners. In my view, they will be very lucky new owners indeed …a fabulous Detached Villa for the price of a Glasgow West End or South Side Tenement …how can one resist? “

Prestwick remains Ayrshire’s “property hotspot”, with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the sweeping promenade/seafront is within walking distance or a short cycle/car journey.
