Graeme Lumsden, Director/Value of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" During my 30 Years in the estate agency industry I have viewed/marketed/and sold all types of properties however occasionally a particular property stands out …for me, born & brought up in the West End of Glasgow I am very familiar with Traditional Character Homes, having both lived in and sold them over the years.
I often encourage clients to consider looking beyond their usual comfort zone/location for their next home as there are real surprise properties out there awaiting discovery. Kingarth clearly falls into that category as it has all the hallmarks of a fine character home which one would find in Glasgow's West End or South Side however its location outwith Glasgow means that the successful purchaser would literally save several hundred thousand pounds purchasing Kingarth and accepting a little more commuting time.
I now live in Galloway, approx' a 45 mile commute from my office in Ayr. If I was looking to move Kingarth would be at the top of my list as it ticks the character/charm/accommodation and value for money boxes. I would be smiling broadly driving through its pillared entrance.
In my view it will be both a wise and lucky buyer who becomes the successful purchaser of Kingarth "
