* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within ever popular Dundonald Village, amidst the picturesque Ayrshire Countryside yet convenient for those commuting via the A77/A78, this attractively styled Modern Detached Villa, built by O’Brien Homes, circa 2007 is set within a select development of mixed style quality homes. Visually, the contrasting brick finish/external detailing provides a pleasing contrast to the often bland style new build homes that one often sees. A superb family home with 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, alternatively flexible for those “working from home”.
The well presented accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with dual aspects to the front & rear whilst feature twin doors from here open onto the separate dining room which in-turn has patio doors leading onto the private/enclosed rear garden with feature patio area, the kitchen is accessible from the hall or dining room – extensively fitted with a stylish array of base/wall cabinets together with integrated appliances and a small breakfasting style space. An attractive staircase provides a fine centrepiece within the reception hall, this rising to the upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located. Bedroom No 1 being the “master” bedroom to the front with a very stylish en-suite whilst No 2 is also situated to the front. Bedroom Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear enjoying views across the garden/adjacent property with Dundonald Castle ruins & woodland beckoning in the distance. The main bathroom off the upper hallway serves bedroom Nos 2, 3 & 4, noting the additional “downstairs” wc.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. The EPC is C. Neatly presented private gardens are provided to the front & rear, the rear being an inviting outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days, the feature decked patio area provides an attractive outdoor dining/seating area. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached single garage which offers secure parking/storage.
Dundonald Village enjoys a favoured countryside setting yet sits centrally for access to Kilmarnock, Irvine, Troon whilst both Prestwick & Ayr are within convenient commuting range The A77/A78 provide easy commuting links with Glasgow approx. 30 mins by car. Public transport by bus is available. Amenities include a local convenience store/take away/pub/restaurant etc. The local school is Dundonald Primary.
In our view… No 1 School Wynd is perhaps a “little bit more niche” in the sense that it successfully combines its desirable 6 Main Apartment Accommodation with a much more appealing external styling, rewarding the owners with the feeling that they have bought their own special home.

A Charming Modern Detached Bungalow, very happily owned by the same family since new, circa late 1960’s. No 6 Knoll Park enjoys a particularly favourable position nestling back from the road, within most desirable residential locale comprising mixed style quality homes.
Internal viewing reveals a most appealing “period” home reflecting its late 1960’s origin with the owners having opted to retain many of the original fittings which are complemented by similar period decor. Those with a keen eye on interior design/current trends will recognise that today’s “reproduction” 1960’s/70’s Scandinavian theme is reflected here albeit in its original format. Equally, there is scope for the successful purchaser to re-style and perhaps develop further, should they wish to do so (subject to acquiring planning permission etc.)
The property is attractively set amidst mature private gardens which reflect the owners keen interest in same whilst the rear/south facing lounge, kitchen and conservatory take full advantage of the relaxing nature/aspect of the gardens, encouraging one to potter outdoors or simply while away time on those much sought after warm sunny days.
Well proportioned accommodation is provided, all on-the-level, with the bedrooms to the front/side and public rooms rear facing. In particular comprising – reception hall, most appealing formal lounge with patio door/open porch onto garden, semi-open plan dining kitchen with charming conservatory adjacent, 3 bedrooms are provided together with a separate bathroom and wc closet.
The specification includes both gas “warm-air” central heating and modern pvc double glazing. Attic storage is available. EPC - D. Neatly presented gardens to the front incorporate a shaped private monobloc driveway which also leads to an attached garage whilst lawned rear gardens wrap around the property, screened for privacy.
In our view, a superb opportunity to acquire a very desirable Detached Bungalow which can truly be described as seldom available having never been offered for sale since being built almost 50 years ago. Although perhaps of particular appeal to the retired/semi-retired client wishing to enjoy the convenience provided by this style/layout of home one can also consider the family appeal of the quality local schools, nearby Rozelle, Belleisle Parks and convenient access into Ayr and its wide array of amenities/shopping, whilst the refreshing attractions of the Ayrshire coastline/countryside are within easy reach.
Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this charming home – To View please telephone BLACK HAY on 01292 283606.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Deceptive externally, this desirable Detached Bungalow has been professionally extended to form a Charming 4 Main Apartment Home of broad appeal. Noteworthy features include its most appealing lounge/dining room to the front, a floored/lined attic area which could be developed further perhaps (subject to required planning permission etc) – enjoying fantastic open views with the Ayrshire Coastline/Arran on the horizon …and an almost “secret” garden to the rear – in terms of the sheer length as it extends rearwards.
Situated on Oswald Road surrounded by mixed style homes, convenient for access to the main arterial road running between Ayr & Prestwick or connecting through Heathfield to the A77. On-street parking is available whilst the rear gardens are favourably West facing to make the most of those sunny/brighter days.
Internal viewing, via the side main door/entrance porch, reveals well proportioned on-the-level accommodation of 4 main apartments – a welcoming central hallway is accessed from the enclosed entrance porch, to the front a charming lounge with multi-fuel fire, adjacent a feature archway opens onto the dining room, moving centrally through the hallway there is a stylish modern bathroom and breakfasting kitchen positioned either side – the breakfasting kitchen well appointed, of good size with doorway onto a separate/most useful utility room (door to gardens from here), moving further through the hallway one finds two double bedrooms to the rear, both overlooking the extended rear gardens. In addition, a curtained stairway discretely positioned to the side of the breakfasting kitchen leads to a very useful floored/lined attic storage area with velux window commanding wonderful elevated views. The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D.
Both Ayr & Prestwick are well established with mixed main street shopping, restaurants, amenities, whilst the sweeping promenade/seafront is within walking distance or cycle/car journey. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77. This desirable home is of broad appeal, valued by local buyers, retired/semi-retired client/s, whilst further afield it will likely be of particular interest to Glasgow based buyers or those relocating from South of the Border, seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance.
This ever popular Bungalow Style home is well worthy of internal viewing to appreciate the charm/proportion of its existing accommodation, plus the real potential afforded by the substantial rear garden – whether to the property itself (noting nearby properties which have been developed – subject to required planning permission etc) …or those keen on gardening, pottering in sheds/workshops …or children who will revel in the wonderful outdoor space.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Soon * A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Style Detached Villa enjoying a particularly favourable corner site (at the junction of Merkland Road & Kersepark) resulting in larger corner gardens which perhaps offer real potential for further development (subject to required planning permission etc).
Competitively priced to allow scope for the successful purchaser to refresh the property internally, noting that the rear extension has suffered some minor movement. A Structural Engineer’s Report (packaged to view along with the pdf Home Report, available only by visiting our blackhay.co.uk website) comments the house itself is unaffected by the rear extension which is believed to have been added after the property was built. It seems likely the issue may be related to the foundation of the extension however it noted as being of “No Value” with regard to the Home Report mortgage valuation of £225,000, noting the property is “Sold as Seen”.
Internal viewing reveals a well proportioned modern style home featuring 4/5 Main Apartments (excluding the rear extension) over 2 levels. The ground floor comprising, entrance vestibule onto the reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious L-shaped lounge with semi-open plan dining or additional living area to the side (the “No Value” extension is accessed from the rear of the lounge), a separate kitchen is situated off the hallway to the rear with external door to the side. On the upper level, 3 good sized bedrooms are provided – No 1 to the front whilst Nos 2 & 3 are located to the rear. The main bathroom, of larger size, also on the upper level.
Gas “Warm Air” heating is featured together with double glazing. Attic storage is available. EPC – D. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage which provides secure parking/storage. Of particular appeal to the family buyer, those keen on gardening, or indeed those seeking space where they can perhaps extend or develop the property further (subject to required planning etc) …are the larger corner gardens/plot which the property occupies, much valued outdoor space which is mature/neatly presented.
With regard to the “No Value” Extension to the rear …current trends suggest that many buyers seek to create more open-plan style space, usually to the rear, which tends to suggest that a potential buyer may well deem the existing extension not large enough or suitable for their needs, therefore removal of this is more palatable knowing that the price of the property has been adjusted to reflect its current No-Value status – noting as always that planning permission etc is required for any proposed extensions etc.
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. 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… a superb opportunity to acquire an appealing Detached Home, particularly desirable due to its location/larger gardens and the real potential that it offers for those looking to create their own special home.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY comments – “I live in the Galloway Countryside and perhaps I am drawn to rural/semi-rural properties however being originally from Glasgow I am also able to draw on city versus countryside living. I make this simple case... if you are not restricted to city living then embrace the countryside! Wynford, (albeit with its smaller bedrooms) has so much to offer its successful purchaser... most of all, in my view... is the opportunity of living & breathing the life of the countryside which is beating all around you. If you haven’t experienced living in the countryside... then, in my view, you haven’t really lived! I would be amazed if the New Owner is not re-invigorated by enjoying all that Wynford has to offer.”
