"Kingarth" - A truly exceptional Traditional Conversion, forming the entire Upper Portion of this most imposing Detached Sandstone Villa. This fine home enjoys a beautifully presented and substantial private garden share which reflects the owners keen interest in same.
Entered from the main roadway through a pillared entrance onto the shared driveway with the private entrance to the Upper positioned to the left hand side/rear. Internal viewing confirms the immaculately presented accommodation which is presented to "Show Home" standard, retaining considerable character & charm with elevated views from its upper apartments.
The superb accommodation which is well proportioned throughout comprises, private external staircase leading to the entrance vestibule and in-turn onto reception hall, a most appealing formal bay windowed lounge, an impressive dining hall, a very stylish/well equipped dining/kitchen with open-plan living area, 4 spacious bedrooms (one presently utilised as an additional family room) together with a very stylish bathroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC - D. Generous attic storage is available. Parking is available to the front of the property whilst a private garage is also included within the sale. The aforementioned gardens invite one to potter/relax with the summer house providing a sheltered outdoor leisure space.

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 "

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.
To arrange a Viewing Appointment please telephone BLACK HAY Estate Agents on 01292 283606. Outwith normal Office Hours our Call Centre is available 7 Days a Week on 0131 513 9477.

This most appealing home is externally of Semi Detached Villa Style yet internal viewing reveals a home which could easily be mistaken for the interior of a 3 Bedroom Detached Villa. The builder created home styles in a development which buyers were quick to recognise were “different” and had much more appeal, well proportioned apartments complemented by a stylish specification – sales were brisk. Built circa summer 2018 with the balance of a valuable 10 year NHBC Guarantee believed to be available.
This desirable home is most attractively presented ...indeed ready to move-in.

Bus & train services are accessible, as are a wide variety of local amenities/shopping together with popular schools including the favoured nearby Heathfield Primary School (with a short walk). Ayr/Prestwick’s sweeping seafront is also accessible by a short car journey or within walking distance.
In our view… a superb opportunity to acquire a particularly desirable Modern Semi Villa …ready to move-in, favourably located within a most appealing & refreshingly different residential development.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* A most appealing Semi Detached “Cottage” Style Bungalow of particular appeal to the client seeking a small garden/patio area which encourages outdoor relaxation on the best of days, rather than deciding whether to mow the lawn, do the weeding or maintain the flower beds – it positively welcomes the non-gardener :-))
