In our view… No 6 Bathurst Drive has been a comfortable home to its owners for circa 50 years, so much so that having bought it new they never moved. The lucky new owners will no doubt transform it into their very own 21st century home, to hopefully enjoy many years ahead …enjoying the fact that it is detached …has a private driveway/garage space …is set amidst delightful leafy/private gardens …and the potential that it offers for their future. Lucky Buyers indeed.

** Available to View Now ** "Wellsbourne House" is a magnificent B-Listed Detached Mansion, circa 1900, commissioned by Ayr's foremost architect of the era - James Archibald Morris. This striking property commands immense presence with its grand facade instantly recognisable from the sweeping Ayr promenade/seafront. Morris was responsible for a number of notable historic buildings, Wellsbourne House being located within the Savoy Park conservation area, convenient for those wishing to enjoy the seafront with its spectacular views or walking into Ayr Town centre.
More recently the property was the subject of a sympathetic conversion to form 4 more manageable individual apartments plus an adjoining "Mews". This splendid building has retained its distinctive Arts & Craft period style with impressive Red Sandstone finish and fine detail. An imposing twin pillared entrance opens onto a private driveway with sweeping views across the gardens whilst Wellsbourne House commands one's attention with its sheer scale & unique character.
Apartment No 4 (with its own private entrance) is offered "For Sale", commanding the entire top floor with a "Penthouse" style feel, enjoying breathtaking elevated sea views which sweep along the coastline with the Isle of Arran & Alisa Craig visible on the horizon. A striking clear glass balcony centred between the corner turrets captures the stunning views - both from the balcony itself or when seated in the lounge.
The private main door entrance opens onto a good sized ground floor Reception Hall, a staircase rising from here (note - there are a number of stairs/5 flights due to the location/height of Apt' 4 therefore this may not suit some potential buyers), passing a half-level landing which features a separate Study/Boxroom and a larger Storage Room (for outdoor wear/gear, bicycles etc). Reaching the Upper Hallway a further door from the main entrance staircase opens onto a corridor style Upper Hallway which discects the Top Floor and leads onto the Main Apartments, which comprise.... a central semi-open-plan Lounge/Dining - stretching from front to rear (exceeding 30' in length) of substantial proportion & undoubtedly a focal-point with the clear glass balcony drawing one to enjoy the genuinely breathtaking views. Two substantial Bedroom Apartments flank the central Lounge/Dining enjoying the external turret style roof detail seen at either end of the front elevation whilst smaller windows beckon one to appreciate the fabulous views. A third bedroom is located to the rear whilst a Breakfasting Style Kitchen is located to the side. 2 Bathrooms are conveniently positioned at either end together with a useful Utility Room.
Apartment No 4 exudes immense character/style from a much loved yet bygone era. It would undoubtedly benefit from a degree of internal modernisation however the realistic price reflects the upgrading required and allows scope for the successful purchaser to acquire a truly unique home which they can style to their own taste/requirements.
The substantial main garden grounds remain private to the Ground Floor Apartment (details to be confirmed from Title Deeds). There are communal shared costs - further details available upon request. Central heating & double glazing are featured. A private garage is included in the sale with a stone chipped "drying"/small garden area to the rear of the garage. Further parking is possible within the grounds (informally arranged between owners).
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments - "I look back at my 30 Year Estate Agency career and remember working in my home City of Glasgow where I had the pleasure of viewing/valuing/marketing some of Glasgow's finest Traditional Mansion Homes.
Wellsbourne House reminds me of many of those fine Traditional Mansions and of course many of these had been the converted into separate apartments over more recent decades.
However... where Wellsbourne House differs is in its scale, architectural detail and views. The visual impact is immense when viewed externally and the steady journey up the internal staircase gives little clue to the impact of the view which Apartment No 4 commands... it literally takes one's breath away!
It does require internal modernisation however I would suggest that the successful purchaser will have their own ideas and will relish the opportunity to put their personal mark on such a unique apartment. Imagine, if one can, how much it would cost to create this home in this location today... and how much the builder would price the property when offered for sale.
In my view... if you want a Penthouse Style Apartment with a lift or less stairs for easier access then Wellsbourne House is not for you. If however you want a spectacular home with equally spectacular views - Apartment No 4 awaits you..."

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a favoured Modern Ground Floor Flat within a low-rise building (just off Racecourse Road) set within Fairfield Park, a desirable residential development notable for its picturesque setting amidst landscaped gardens and sought after “near seafront” location.

The development is professionally managed with the appointed factors ensuring a consistently high standard of presentation/maintenance which is clearly evident as one enters the grounds of Fairfield Park.

Internal viewing reveals a pleasingly spacious home with the larger windows attracting both natural light & attractive views. In particular a welcoming reception hall (with good storage off) provides access onto the remaining apartments, comprising – a most appealing lounge with broad windowing together with door which leads onto the larger size private west facing sheltered sun balcony (favourably the ground floor flats have a notably larger balcony) which invites one to step outdoors & relax, a very stylish breakfasting kitchen designed/re-fitted by Design Studio with integrated quality appliances by Siemens, two spacious double bedrooms are featured with fitted wardrobe storage, whilst an eyecatching stylish modern bathroom (again designed/re-fitted by Design Studio) 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 the delightful near-seafront 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.
In my view, No 3 Fairfield Park is a very comfortable/stylish Modern Home with all the hard work done - the modernisation/re-fitting means no hassle with kitchens/bathroom etc being replaced. The well proportioned apartments are ready to embrace their new owners, providing the welcome convenience that flat living provides …and when the new owners want to do something else, simply lock up & leave …that’s the magic of flat living! ”
