“Karuna”, Weir Avenue, Prestwick – A rare opportunity to acquire a most desirable Traditional Detached Bungalow within favoured Prestwick locale. Deceptive externally, the property has been professionally extended by its current owners in late 2019, with internal viewing revealing a delightful rear facing extension, L-shaped of open-plan style forming perhaps the new heart of this very comfortable home with the kitchen/dining & family room inviting one to relax & socially interact.
This splendid home is of broad appeal, carefully maintained & upgraded with flexible 6/7 Main Apartment Accommodation featured over 2 levels. Set amidst neatly presented & colourful (when in season) landscaped gardens with the rear gardens in particular inviting one to enjoy the outdoors when the favourable weather beckons.
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. Homes of this style remain rare to the market and although of broad appeal are valued by family buyers, retired/semi clients and particularly so by 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.
Internal viewing reveals a welcoming reception hall which leads onto the ground floor apartments which comprise, dual aspect formal lounge to the front, absolutely charming contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with triple window aspects, dual velux windows drawing natural overhead light and the picture style patio doors leading down to the mature gardens, 2 bedrooms (Nos 1 & 2 with No 2 used as a study at present) together with the main bathroom. A discreetly positioned staircase off the reception hall leads to the upper hallway which opens onto 2 further bedrooms (Nos 3 & 4) together with an upper shower room/wc serving either bedroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Neatly presented private gardens are featured to the front and rear, reflecting the owners keen interest in same, the rear with sheltered patio area to welcome those wishing to relax outdoors. A narrow shared (with adjacent Bungalow) driveway is positioned to the right of the property, not suitable for a car however providing separate/convenient access from front to rear. Parking is available on-street.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ With 35 years working in the property industry across Scotland, that iconic phrase location, location & location remains one of the key factors about a particular property’s desirability. In addition, post-lockdown has delivered a much increased flow of buyers who yearn for a more relaxed style of living, particularly moving from bustling city life in Glasgow to a coastal location that offers relaxing seafront/beach walks, encouraging one to enjoy the outdoor life.
In my view Karuna is in some respects an understated home externally, open the door and one is met with a simply charming & comfortable home which can easily adapt its accommodation to meet the demanding family or a couple seeking space in which to relax. This is indeed a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very desirable Detached Bungalow which has been thoughtfully extended and will no doubt tick many of the Wish-List boxes of buyers hoping to secure their next home in the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “

The development is professionally managed with the appointed factors ensuring consistent presentation/maintenance which is clearly evident as one enters the grounds of Fairfield Park.
Entry is via a communal main door security entrance which leads onto a welcoming & notably more spacious (than typical new-build developments today) residents reception hall with either stair or elevator access to the equally spacious 1st floor communal hallway, off which No 59 is accessed. Internal viewing reveals a pleasingly spacious home with the larger windows attracting both natural light & attractive views, In particular a lengthy reception hall (with good storage off & a useful additional wc) provides access onto the remaining apartments, comprising, most appealing lounge with dual aspects & a private sheltered balcony which invites one to step outdoors & relax, enjoying the attractive views across the gardens to adjacent distant properties and sea views on the horizon, a very stylish re-fitted kitchen with an extensive array of cream/gloss finish cabinets complemented by integrated appliances, a separate formal dining room which if required can easily be a 3rd bedroom, two further spacious double bedrooms are featured with fitted wardrobe storage whilst a stylish modern bathroom features white 2 piece fitments within vanity storage together with a large walk-in shower cubicle.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ Notwithstanding my 35 Years in the Property Industry and the thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in quite an array of different properties/locations over the years however Fairfield Park reminds me of Luxury Style Flats in Glasgow where I happily lived for a number of years.
The external space of this development one would rarely witness today on similar New-Build Flats as the developers/builders simply cannot resist the lure of profit/more properties versus the unseen value that comes with living amidst a development that actually breathes because of the space in which it is set. Add to that a lift & the delightful near-seafront location (neither of which I had in Glasgow) that encourages one to embrace promenade walks on the best of days or wrap up for those bracing autumn/winter walks where one leans into the wind & rain yet enjoys the exhilaration that only a wild sea can deliver.
Interestingly I sold my South Facing Balcony Flat in Glasgow and moved across to a different building where there was less direct sun - I got fed up closing my curtains/blinds on the sunniest of days. Oddly it may seem, I enjoyed more time on my balcony than those owners who thought they would bask in their south facing balcony sunshine yet had to retreat indoors.
In my view, No 59 Fairfield Park is an inviting flat ready to embrace its new owners and offer them the many benefits & welcome convenience that flat living provides …and when they want to do something else, simply lock up & leave …that’s the magic of flat living! ”
