The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC - D. Generous attic storage is available.

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 "

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within favoured residential locale, this desirable Detached Bungalow has been a comfortable home to its owner over many years, however it is fair to say that it does now need fully modernised hence the competitive price which allows scope for the successful purchaser to upgrade/restyle to their own specification/budget.
This particular property occupies an elevated cul de sac position comprising only 2 homes. Set amidst private gardens to the front & rear which have been tidied, however there is scope to open these up further.
Internally the accommodation extends to 5 Main Apartments which are all on-the-level, in particular… reception hall, lounge to the rear with sun room off (note “basic” condition), kitchen & separate dining room to the front, 3 bedrooms (No 2 to the front and Nos 1 & 3 to the rear) whilst the bathroom is off the reception hall. The video/virtual tour (available to view on blackhay.co.uk) helpfully gives a clear idea of the condition/potential work required, whilst the Home Report Mortgage valuation of £210,000 is for the property in its current condition. Obviously modernisation works will increase the value of the property. The property is “Sold as Seen”.
The specification includes gas central heating & double glazing. Attic storage is available. EPC – E. Mature private gardens are situated to the front & rear. A private driveway to the left leads to an attached/linked garage.
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 – No 39 Woodend Road, Alloway will appeal to those clients seeking a property which they can restyle to create their own special home, rather than paying a premium price for an already modernised property which may not be to their preferred style.

No 4 Greystones - A superb opportunity to acquire a Prestwick Promenade/Seafront Home, enjoying fabulous panoramic coastal/sea views with the Isles of Arran & Ailsa Craig on the horizon.
Greystones was originally built, circa 1904, as a substantial Traditional Detached Sandstone Villa amidst a larger plot on the corner of Links Road/Ardayre Road with the West Elevation to the front enjoying panoramic sea views. Historically its former owners include Janie Allan (part of the successful Allan Shipping Line Family), notable for her strong involvement in the Scottish Womens Suffragette Movement which featured in the struggles of the early 20th Century.
We understand that Greystones was the subject of a Residential Conversion in the 1960's, forming what we now see - 4 2-Storey Conversions. No 4 enjoys the favoured West Elevation capturing the wonderful seascape views from both its ground & upper front facing apartments.
Undoubtedly the property will appeal to those clients seeking a seafront property, however although it does require modernisation, it offers the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style/upgrade to their own specification/budget.
The well proportioned accommodation is over 2 main levels with an undeveloped attic area perhaps offering further potential, subject to required planning permission etc. Access to the property is via a main door entrance from the promenade or shared access across the rear garden/pathway from the side (off Links Road) or the shared rear driveway (off Ardayre Road). A single garage to the rear is included together with a share of the communal rear gardens whilst the garden area directly in front facing the promenade is private to No 4.
The ground floor comprises front & rear entrance hallways, spacious lounge/dining, separate living room (potential perhaps to open this room up with the adjoining kitchen - planning permission would be required), kitchen, useful understair wc, whilst on upper level, 4 bedrooms, shower room & separate wc. A floored/lined attic storage area is accessed via loft hatch located in bedroom No 1. The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. Off & On-street parking is available.
The property is undoubtedly convenient for the adjacent sweeping promenade/seafront whilst the thriving Prestwick Town Centre provides a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport.
In our view No 4 Greystones provides the successful purchaser with a very rare opportunity to a create a wonderful seafront home. Internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both its potential & spectacular sea views.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer with BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments… “ Even with my family connection to the Mull of Kintyre & 35 Years in the Property Industry I still marvel of the thought of living by or near the sea. In my view, this is a truly fabulous opportunity to acquire a most desirable near-seafront home which positively encourages one to embrace “seaside living” and make the most of walking the promenade with its panoramic sea views …whether on the flat-calm days where the waves just gently ripple ashore or wild winter days when the “white horses” race off the sea to douse walkers with sea spray! Living by the sea brings its own unique visual entertainment. It’s a lucky New Owner that will receive the keys to this Charming Home. ”
