Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ Over almost 4 decades within the property industry I have enjoyed marketing & selling many different styles & values of property. On one hand it would be professional to say that I don’t have favourites ...however being honest, I started out selling traditional homes in the West End and South Side of Glasgow …it’s fair to say that I have never lost my love particularly of Victorian/Edwardian homes and the Art Nouveau/Deco eras …indeed I have lived for many years in a Traditional Home in Galloway dating from the 1840’s.
So… when I saw/visited Laighmuir Cottage it brought a broad smile to my face, knowing that we are all simply custodians of the homes in which we live, forming part of their history …I appreciated that the current owners have certainly enjoyed their time as owners, now reluctantly moving as the beautiful far north of Scotland has captured their hearts.
The undoubted visual appeal of Laighmuir Cottage, its substantial/character accommodation and that joyful slate roof design await the arrival of the successful new owners. In my view, they will be very lucky new owners indeed …a fabulous Detached Villa for the price of a Glasgow West End or South Side Tenement …how can one resist? “

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* Doonvale Drive, Alloway – An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Villa by well regarded Stewart Milne Homes. This particular style “The Thorntonhall” featuring ideal family accommodation of 7/8 Main Apartments, noting that this is the original specification without the integral double garage having been converted – rather than apparently similar size homes which have sacrificed the double garage to extend their accommodation. The property enjoys an attractive setting within favoured residential development of mixed style modern family/executive homes on the outskirts of Ayr, itself on the South West Coast of Scotland.
Well proportioned apartments are featured over 2 levels, easily accommodating a growing family. Larger style Detached Villas are particularly popular with local buyers looking to upsize, with Glasgow buyers who continue to re-locate from city to the coast/seaside for a more relaxed lifestyle/work balance, whilst clients re-locating from England to Scotland remain strong contenders for larger modern luxury style homes. The well proportioned apartments are laid out over 2 levels, offering flexibility as required – normally utilised as 2/3 Public & 5 Bedrooms. If required, the integral double garage also allows further expansion within the footprint of the existing property (less expensive than add-on accommodation) – subject to required planning permission etc.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable & adaptable family home, comprising on the ground floor, the reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, bay windowed lounge to the front with a separate dining room to the rear featuring connecting “French style” doors, also to the rear a semi open-plan style integrated kitchen/dining/breakfasting room (patio doors from here onto private rear gardens) with a useful separate utility room (access from here to the integral double garage).
All the bedrooms, easily accommodating a growing family, are featured on the upper level with a staircase from the reception hall leading to the upper hallway – the master bedroom (No 5) to the front with en-suite whilst bedroom No 1 (presently a large games room) is a large bedroom which could easily be utilised as a childrens living/games room or teenager’s bedroom/living room, 3 further bedrooms are located to the rear (Nos 2, 3 & 4) with bedroom No 2 featuring an en-suite. The main bathroom is also situated on the upper level.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, neatly presented/landscaped with the rear fenced for privacy providing a safe/enclosed child-friendly play area or outdoor space in which to relax on better weather days. The private driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles whilst also leading to a much-valued integral double garage which provides secure parking/storage. A wonderful Summer House is located within the rear garden allowing one to enjoy sheltered outdoor time, either to relax or entertain.
In our view… of huge appeal to those clients seeking a larger Modern Luxury Style Detached Home with the flexibility to accommodate an existing/growing family or provide more space in which to entertain/enjoy, support homeworking etc.

This property has served its current owners as a comfortable family home with the twin level accommodation layout offering considerable flexibility – currently utilised as 3 Public/4 Bedrooms however it could revert to 2 Public/5 Bedrooms if required.
Typical modern/new build homes are often located within tightly packed residential developments which can often feel claustrophobic due to the lack of amenity or garden space. Bruach House nestles within attractive larger landscaped private gardens (noting the driveway has a right of access for the owner of the field & adjacent property), sloping down from the main roadway to the level area surrounding the property. The gardens will attract those wishing to potter or indeed relax whilst a family buyer will enjoy the outdoor area which children can enjoy. The river to the rear is on a lower level and is screened by hedging/mature trees etc.
In particular, the accommodation on the ground floor comprises, a striking reception hall …a fabulous feature when welcoming guests – the central stair rising to a very spacious upper hallway which offers an open “snug” area whilst also leading to the upper bedroom apartments, the most appealing lounge is accessed through twin doors from the reception hall, a useful family room (alt' 5th bedroom) is on the opposite side of the hallway with an en-suite bedroom (No 1) located adjacent, a stylish breakfasting/dining kitchen is very well appointed with access from here to a charming larger conservatory which can fairly be referred to/used as another public room, a utility room is also provided together with a useful downstairs wc.
The eye-catching staircase leads to the upper hallway/apartments which comprise – 3 further bedrooms (Nos 2, 3, & 4) with No 3 featuring an en-suite, whilst a useful additional room serves as an informal study (open stair from here to the attic). The family bathroom is situated off the upper hallway.
During their period of ownership the current owners have deliberately selected “eco” features when upgrading certain elements of their home – in particular solar panels (with a financial income – details upon request) together with the central heating which had been oil-fired however has now been replaced a very efficient “air-source” heat system (located externally to the rear). EPC – C. A substantial attic area offers excellent additional storage, accessed via ladder style stair within the upper study. The picturesque gardens that surround the property are a valued additional feature providing privacy and welcome outdoor space in which to relax on the best of days. A tarmacadam driveway leads down from the main road to the front of the property with parking available for several vehicles whilst a detached double garage provides secure parking/storage.

“ This superb Family Home will be of particular appeal to the client seeking a larger luxury-style home in a picturesque setting with space in which to relax indoors & out …rather than returning home to a typical tightly packed modern development where the builder’s focus was simply to maximise the number of homes built on the available land.
Bruach House amidst its delightful setting will welcome its owners at the end of the working day …and bring a genuine sense of contentment as there is real space in which to breathe/live. “

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a most appealing & substantial 8 Main Apartment Modern Detached Villa within desirable Dundonald. This superb family sized home occupies favoured corner position with attractive open country views to the rear, whilst the detached double garage/driveway is a valued additional feature. The property has been a very comfortable home to its owner over several decades with its flexible & very sizeable internal layout being adaptable to suit family or non-family use.
The well proportioned accommodation comprises 8 Main Apartments over 2 levels, currently 4 public & 4 bedrooms with the former integral double garage having been converted decades ago to provide one of the current 4 public rooms - an outstanding family/living space. In particular, the ground floor features a welcoming reception hall with staircase leading to a large upper hallway, the lounge is situated to the front whilst a separate living room & dining room are located to the rear, the aforementioned substantial family room is notable to the front with its large twin full-drop windows, the kitchen is located to the rear with a useful utility area adjacent, a useful “downstairs wc” is located off the reception hall. Moving upstairs one is met with a pleasingly larger size upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located – Nos 1 & 2 to the rear enjoy elevated country views to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the front, a useful storage/study style area is positioned to one side whilst on the other, the main bathroom. Noting the space upstairs lends itself to the addition of a 2nd bathroom/en-suite (subject to required planning permission etc) however the current owner was happy with the existing layout.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing (apart from the family room). EPC – D. The property is set amidst neatly presented private gardens, tree lined to the roadway side and open to the rear over the countryside. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a valued detached double garage (with remote door access) with the pitched roof matching the main house. On-street parking is also available.
Dundonald Village is notably home to both Dundonald & Old Auchans Castle, it is situated within easy travelling distance of Ayrshire’s sweeping coast with its famous golf courses and seafront extending north & south, approx. 4 miles from Loans/Troon with convenient access to the A77/A78. Local amenities (including local shop/restaurant/pub etc) are provided within the village centre whilst the local school is Dundonald Primary School. Prestwick Airport is approx’ 7 miles away whilst the sweeping seafront at Barassie is approx’ 3 miles away. By car to Glasgow on the A77 from nearby Symington is approx’ 29 miles.
In our view, this substantial Modern Family Home is an outstanding alternative to New Build Detached Homes which are often squeezed onto new/repetitively styled developments with accommodation/parking which simply doesn’t compare to the space/value offered by this most appealing home. The serious Buyer will find it hard, in our opinion, to resist the flexibility provided by the 8 Main Apartments featured – internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space provided.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" After 30 years in the property industry I still enjoy the many varied property styles and locations which I visit daily as part of my job as an estate agent.
Personally I live in the country however I have always said that if I move it would only be for a sea view. For myself, and many, many others the magic of a sea view remains its ever changing texture/colour/light - never mind the seasons or a particular month or week ….daily and almost by the minute the sea can change from mirror flat calm to gentle ripples, rhythmic waves to racing white horses galloping to the shore on stormy days. The countryside changes by the season, the sea changes by the hour.
No 23 is a superb seafront family home that can entertain on its own however adding in that magical sea view elevates its appeal immensely. Imagine what a New Home builder would price this property at if they built it today?
However in simple terms it comes down to those that seek a true seafront home and value the exceptional qualities of this location and of No 23 itself. It's a Special Home and I have no doubt that the very lucky new owners will settle down on their first evening, soak in the spectacular seafront views and realise that they are indeed living their dream!

The most appealing accommodation comprises, a welcoming dining style hall, an elegant and susbtantial bay windowed lounge with "eye-catching" low-drop windows, separate kitchen with breakfasting space, 3 bedrooms (2 currently used as informal public rooms) and bathroom (shower instead of bath).

The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – Tbc. Private parking is provided to the side. A substantial Detached Former Coach House/Stable (complete with the original hay-loft & charming original timber panelling) is also situated to the side – this provides secure parking/storage with a useful utility style area.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ With 39 Years in the Property Industry and thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in different style properties & locations, including a wonderful conversion.
When I first approached Oakfield I was immediately reminded of the fine Traditional Villas & Conversions which I valued/sold in my home city of Glasgow during my near 2 decades working in Glasgow’s West End & South Side.
The family history of this wonderful home tells its own story ….a much loved Period Home which was then adapted to meet changing needs, yet it retains an immense amount of its original character & charm with the added benefits of the former coach house/garage and private garden share.
Interestingly I remember my association with Cala Homes and when they opted to build New Homes in Kilmarnock (followed by other builders) as they sought an alternative option for Commuter Buyers. Kilmarnock was perfect as it was central for either Glasgow or the Ayrshire Coast.
So, we find this fabulous home which ticks the boxes in terms of its most appealing style/character/space together with easy access to Glasgow or the Coast.
Oakfield/No 53 London Road is a wonderful opportunity for the Buyer seeking a Special Traditional “Glasgow Style” Home …however without the huge Glasgow premium!
In my view, the successful Buyer/s will be delighted when they receive their keys and become the new owners/custodians of this very Special Home ”
