Turnberry, South Ayrshire is known worldwide as one of the iconic Open Championship Golf resorts, situated on the Firth of Clyde coastline, south west Scotland. It comprises three links golf courses, a golf academy, its famous five-star hotel & additional lodge/cottage accommodation. The golf course dates from 1901 with the luxury hotel emerging in 1906, the now defunct railway was built to serve visitors from across the UK. Historically it has been through 2 World Wars with its now disused aircraft runway serving the military whilst the hotel served for a period as a hospital. Post-war it was revitalised with golf course redesigns and a series of new owners evolving the resort into the Trump Turnberry Resort that we see today ...yet it retains the much loved character from its foundation in the early 1900's.
Turnberry is approx' 52 miles south of Glasgow just off the A77 (which leads from Glasgow to Stranraer via Ayr).

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* Doonvale Drive, Alloway – An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Villa by well regarded Stewart Milne Homes. This particular style “The Thorntonhall” featuring ideal family accommodation of 7/8 Main Apartments, noting that this is the original specification without the integral double garage having been converted – rather than apparently similar size homes which have sacrificed the double garage to extend their accommodation. The property enjoys an attractive setting within favoured residential development of mixed style modern family/executive homes on the outskirts of Ayr, itself on the South West Coast of Scotland.
Well proportioned apartments are featured over 2 levels, easily accommodating a growing family. Larger style Detached Villas are particularly popular with local buyers looking to upsize, with Glasgow buyers who continue to re-locate from city to the coast/seaside for a more relaxed lifestyle/work balance, whilst clients re-locating from England to Scotland remain strong contenders for larger modern luxury style homes. The well proportioned apartments are laid out over 2 levels, offering flexibility as required – normally utilised as 2/3 Public & 5 Bedrooms. If required, the integral double garage also allows further expansion within the footprint of the existing property (less expensive than add-on accommodation) – subject to required planning permission etc.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable & adaptable family home, comprising on the ground floor, the reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, bay windowed lounge to the front with a separate dining room to the rear featuring connecting “French style” doors, also to the rear a semi open-plan style integrated kitchen/dining/breakfasting room (patio doors from here onto private rear gardens) with a useful separate utility room (access from here to the integral double garage).
All the bedrooms, easily accommodating a growing family, are featured on the upper level with a staircase from the reception hall leading to the upper hallway – the master bedroom (No 5) to the front with en-suite whilst bedroom No 1 (presently a large games room) is a large bedroom which could easily be utilised as a childrens living/games room or teenager’s bedroom/living room, 3 further bedrooms are located to the rear (Nos 2, 3 & 4) with bedroom No 2 featuring an en-suite. The main bathroom is also situated on the upper level.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, neatly presented/landscaped with the rear fenced for privacy providing a safe/enclosed child-friendly play area or outdoor space in which to relax on better weather days. The private driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles whilst also leading to a much-valued integral double garage which provides secure parking/storage. A wonderful Summer House is located within the rear garden allowing one to enjoy sheltered outdoor time, either to relax or entertain.
In our view… of huge appeal to those clients seeking a larger Modern Luxury Style Detached Home with the flexibility to accommodate an existing/growing family or provide more space in which to entertain/enjoy, support homeworking etc.
To discuss your interest in No 51 Doonvale Drive please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606 or gpl@blackhay.co.uk Internal Viewing is invited by contacting BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS on 01292 283606.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of Black Hay Estate Agents comments…
“ Even after 38 years in the property industry I still marvel at the magic of living by the sea. The changing seascape from flat calm water through gentle ripples meandering onto the shore …to the white horses/waves racing ashore on stormy days.
For me there is a special connection, an emotion …living by the sea, which is unmatched elsewhere ...and for our owner, the sheer joy when she purchased this particular flat and during the time she has lived there speaks far beyond the monetary value …it’s a life lived in a place that brings you the sheer joy that in my view, only a seafront home can bring.
Our owner will no doubt hope that the new owner of her flat enjoys it as much as she has. ”
