* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Rarely available within particularly favoured residential locale, a most desirable corner sited Modern Detached Bungalow featuring 4 Main Apartments (all on-the-level). Set amidst neatly presented/mature private gardens, all amidst a preferred cul de sac setting of similar style bungalow homes.
This most appealing property has been a comfortable home to its current owners over many years noting that the successful purchaser may choose to re-style to their own spec'/budget, with the competitive price allowing scope to do so. Noting the Home Report Mortgage Valuation figure of £255,000 for the property as currently presented.
Access is via the main entrance to the front, onto the reception hall which leads to a much larger formal lounge (almost of lounge/dining proportion) whilst a dining area is located off, a separate breakfasting style kitchen is located to the rear (with access from here onto the rear garden), 2 double bedrooms are featured - located to the front & rear respectively, whilst the very stylish modern bathroom (walk-in shower instead of bath) is situated off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Private gardens are featured to the front/side & rear, mainly lawned with high hedging to the side/rear providing added privacy. A welcome addition is the timber summer house to the rear which provides a sheltered retreat/outdoor space on sunny or indeed rainy days. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage which provides secure parking/storage. On-street parking is also available, if required.
Ayr is located on the South West Coast of Scotland, its coastline location proves popular with locals & visitors alike. A wide array of local amenities are accessible whilst the A77/A79 provides links north or south. Public transport including regular train/bus services from Ayr are available whilst Prestwick Airport is within easy travelling distance. Ayr/Alloway has an excellent choice of well regarded schooling including the favoured Alloway Primary School which is literally a few minutes walk from the property whilst private schooling is available via Wellington School. Ayrshire is famed for its Golf Courses, historical connection with “the Poet” Robert Burns and many worthy historical attractions …and of course its sweeping seafront.
In our view, an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly desirable Detached Bungalow which may appeal to the retired/semi-retired client whilst the convenience of Alloway Primary School may be of particular appeal to the family buyer. The larger formal lounge is most appealing whilst there is clearly scope for further development, should one wish to do so, subject to any required planning permission etc.

* NEW to Market - Available to View * Enjoying favoured locale, this ever popular stone fronted Detached Bungalow will be of immense interest to clients seeking a much larger garden, which in this case is concealed to the rear. A comfortable home for over 30 years to its current owners, the splendid gardens can easily accommodate a range of interests, from families seeking safe outdoor space, the keen gardener wishing to expand their floral artistry or add a productive veg/fruit area, those yearning to add a summer house/workshop will welcome the extra space. Clearly the opportunity also exists to extend the property further (subject to the required planning permission etc) whilst not impacting such a large garden area …so many ideas to consider.
Conveniently positioned for Ayr Town Centre, local amenities including shopping & public transport whilst local schools are also easily accessible. A short journey takes one to the A77 which provides links north & south.
The property features on-the-level accommodation which has been extended already to the rear whilst the attic area features floored/lined additional storage. In particular comprising, entrance vestibule onto the reception hall, lounge to the front which could be used as a 3rd bedroom if required, extended family/dining room privately situated to the rear with pleasing garden views/access via patio doors, centrally positioned “Galley” style kitchen with breakfasting room beyond and further utility storage thereafter, 2 bedrooms (to the front & rear respectively – Nos 1 & 2) with bedroom No1 featuring a small en-suite. What is now a useful study had been the original bathroom however the current owners elected to create a much larger bathroom by taking some space from the rear family/dining room.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Neatly maintained private gardens are located to the front & rear, noting the very substantial rear gardens. A private driveway provides off-street parking, this leading to the rear with a paved vehicular turning space available. On-street parking is also available.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ After 35 years working in the property industry across Scotland, Bungalows have remained a firm favourite for homebuyers …today it’s not just retired/semi retired buyers that want a bungalow as their final home, younger buyers are switching away from tightly packed modern homes, appreciating the flexibility of a bungalow and the opportunities that are often available to extend.
This is an exciting opportunity with its secret garden, one that a New Homes Builder today would almost refuse to allocate to just one house. If they wish… the successful purchasers will have the opportunity to extend their indoor lifestyle outdoors, without running out of space.
One can just imagine what can be created in such a wonderful outdoor space. ”

* NEW to Market * A wonderful opportunity to acquire a true “Seafront Home” on Prestwick’s sweeping promenade. This desirable Traditional Flat occupies most appealing “Garden Level” within a distinctively styled 3-Storey Victorian Semi Villa.
Historically the property is believed to date back to circa 1890’s, originally built as Semi Villas, subsequently converted to form individual flats. The building has been refurbished including a new roof whilst internally it benefits from a modern finish/specification.
Particular mention should be made that the Garden Flat retains private ownership of the entire lawned garden area directly in front of the property (together with the paved patio area adjacent to the side entrance) also noting the gated access (shared) on the front boundary wall opens onto the promenade allowing one to enjoy walking the seafront ...literally “a stone’s throw” away.
The neatly presented accommodation which is contemporary in style is accessed via a garden level private main door to the side of No 20. Featuring 3 Main Apartments, comprising entrance hallway which opens onto the lounge, a secondary central hallway which provides access to the 2 double bedrooms which overlook the front garden (one of which could be utilised as an alternative main or 2nd public room) with sea/Isle of Arran views on the skyline just beyond the boundary wall (the view is more visible when one is sitting outdoors), the dining style kitchen and bathroom are both located to the rear.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing EPC – C. Private car parking is available within the communal rear facing driveway (the access is easily missed, off Marina Road) - an allocated space to the left is provided adjacent to the property. On-street parking is also available. The property is self-factored with costs communally shared between residents (3).
Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre, excellent variety of amenities and its sought after 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 – with no seafront views!) …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 true seafront home.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“As I celebrate 40 Years in the property industry it is clear to me that every home is special in its own way to its owner/s …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.
Seafront Homes have an almost magical appeal as the seascape is one that can literally change by the minute versus a countryside view that changes gradually through the seasons.
Prestwick Promenade beckons one to stroll, exercise, relax, walk the sands, take in the views & sea air, to contemplate the joy of living by-the-sea …and with No 20, you walk through your garden, open the gate …and it is there for you to enjoy ...whenever you wish.
A wonderful opportunity awaits...”

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.
