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.

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.

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. "

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.

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? “

A “horseshoe” shaped driveway provides access to the front (shared with the Main Door Conversion) Private driveway parking to the right-hand side together with the substantial former Coach House/Stable and a delightful mature/private garden area are included as part of the sale.
Historically this impressive Traditional Red Sandstone Detached Villa was built circa 1888, subsequently acquired by current owners family in 1964, thereafter it was converted into a Main Door & Upper Conversion circa 1984 to accommodate members of the same family, however in separate homes.
The most appealing accommodation comprises, a welcoming dining style hall, an elegant and susbtantial bay windowed lounge with "eye-catching" low-drop windows, separate kitchen with breakfasting space, 3 bedrooms (2 currently used as informal public rooms) and bathroom (shower instead of bath). Also noting the inviting "hidden" conservatory nestling to the rear of the former coach house. Traditional features retained include the intricate/decorative cornicing, panelled doors with decorative detailing, the fire surround in the lounge etc.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – Tbc. Private parking is provided to the side. A substantial Detached Former Coach House/Stable (complete with the original hay-loft & charming original timber panelling) is also situated to the side – this provides secure parking/storage with a useful utility style area.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ With 39 Years in the Property Industry and thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in different style properties & locations, including a wonderful conversion.
When I first approached Oakfield I was immediately reminded of the fine Traditional Villas & Conversions which I valued/sold in my home city of Glasgow during my near 2 decades working in Glasgow’s West End & South Side.
The family history of this wonderful home tells its own story ….a much loved Period Home which was then adapted to meet changing needs, yet it retains an immense amount of its original character & charm with the added benefits of the former coach house/garage and private garden share.
Interestingly I remember my association with Cala Homes and when they opted to build New Homes in Kilmarnock (followed by other builders) as they sought an alternative option for Commuter Buyers. Kilmarnock was perfect as it was central for either Glasgow or the Ayrshire Coast.
So, we find this fabulous home which ticks the boxes in terms of its most appealing style/character/space together with easy access to Glasgow or the Coast.
Oakfield/No 53 London Road is a wonderful opportunity for the Buyer seeking a Special Traditional “Glasgow Style” Home …however without the huge Glasgow premium!
In my view, the successful Buyer/s will be delighted when they receive their keys and become the new owners/custodians of this very Special Home ”
