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.
