*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.
To discuss your interest in No 51 Doonvale Drive please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606 or gpl@blackhay.co.uk Internal Viewing is invited by contacting BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS on 01292 283606.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Seldom available Traditional Semi Detached Villa within favoured Prestwick locale. Enjoying a most appealing setting amidst its larger private gardens with a gated private driveway providing an imposing "first impression". Internally featuring highly desirable larger proportioned accommodation extending to 6 main apartments, offering flexibility of use.
A very comfortable home to its owners over many decades, retaining considerable character & charm. The competitive price provides scope for the successful purchaser to create their own stylish interior/specification. The property has been built centrally amidst its larger plot/garden, favourably set back from the road back whilst still providing a surprisingly larger rear garden - likely to be of particular appeal to the family buyer or those yearning for a home which they can successfully extend to to create their own unique living space (subject to acquiring planning permission etc).
The main entrance is onto a welcoming reception hall, from there access to ground floor apartments or via the bannister staircase to the upper apartments. On the ground floor - an impressively proportioned bay windowed formal lounge to the front, directly behind a dining/family room (or alternative 4th bedroom), to the rear - the kitchen (door off to the rear garden/garage access) whilst a small room adjacent could be utilised as a breakfasting room/study or perhaps be developed as part of a new kitchen layout (subject to acquiring planning etc).
The accommodation on the upper level comprises, 3 bedrooms with the "master" bedroom (No 1) being bay windowed to the front (necessity meant an en-suite was created within this room however visually it does currently detract from what is a fine bedroom), whilst bedroom Nos 2 & 3 are situated to the front & rear respectively. The main bathroom is situated off the half-level landing. A useful small "downstairs" wc is situated to the rear on the ground floor.
Gas central heating is featured. Attic storage is available with an access ladder tucked within the upper landing cupboard. The private gardens are well established with mature trees/shrubs/flowers, semi-screened to the front with lawn bordered by the private driveway which leads to a garage positioned to the side. To the rear, the main lawn is of good size with useful outbuildings/stores, whilst a further "hidden" lawn is tucked behind, a real & pleasant surprise allowing both imagination & reality to play.
Prestwick remains very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. With Glasgow approx' 30 miles away Prestwick properties are particularly popular with Glasgow based buyers relocating (knowing the value of these style of homes in Glasgow!) ...those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow ...and of course local buyers seeking a larger family proportioned home within easy walking distance of the seafront.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments...
" Throughout my 36 years in the property industry I have enjoyed valuing/selling an enviable variety & number of homes, in particular Traditional Homes which remain highly sought after.
Substantial traditional homes in Prestwick are indeed rare to the market. In my view... No 61 St Quivox Road is a special home for a number of reasons, to me it is a classic Glasgow Buyer Traditional Home however it enjoys the more appealing setting of Prestwick with its desirable seaside location, additionally it offers the successful buyer real potential to create a spectacular home with its larger internal proportions & outdoor space.
In my view... it will be a very lucky & delighted buyer who secures this Special Home. "

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.

EPC – C. A substantial attic area offers excellent additional storage, accessed via ladder style stair within the upper study.

“ 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.

“ALDERBANK”, Doonfoot – A Charming Traditional Detached Cottage Style Home set amidst larger mature private gardens, within admired residential locale. Historically believed to be the site of one of the earliest built properties locally (however this is based on 3rd party information). The current owners have been resident for approx’ 30 years during which time they have upgraded/extended the property. It is fair to say that the successful purchaser will modernise the property however the competitive price allows scope to upgrade/re-style to your own taste/budget.
ALDERBANK is discreetly positioned on Scaur O’ Doon Road, well screened from the roadway by hedging/fencing with a pedestrian gate to the front whilst a gated driveway provides vehicular access to the rear. The mature gardens are of larger size, undoubtedly an attractive feature of the property, albeit some attention is required to these. Woodland area to the far side slopes down to the River Doon.

The detached garage to the rear has been removed however there remains ample space to build a garage/store (subject to any required planning permission) whilst the gated driveway offers further private parking.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“I live on the edge of The Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park, so I’m used to being surrounded by nature. When I first walked into the gardens of ALDERBANK it just seemed to be a delightful sheltered natural haven, one in which to relax, whether at the end of a busy day or as part of a gentle retirement. Yes, it needs work done. Yes, the gardens need work. However, as an Antique Dealer friend of mine often says – find me another! I think the successful buyer secures the opportunity to develop their own haven, yet it’s not miles away in the countryside (as I am, commuting 90 miles each day to/from work) …..and don’t forget, the sweeping promenade/seafront is only a short walk away.”
