Dunure is a Harbour Village located approx’ 5 miles from Ayr on the South West Coast of Scotland overlooking the Firth of Clyde, popular locally and of course with those yearning to live by the sea & enjoy a real sea view from their home, which No 26 does indeed – from all the front facing apartments.
The property is an ever popular Semi Detached Villa, enjoying elevated position/views, internally featuring excellent/flexible 5 Main Apartment Accommodation over 2 main levels with the added benefit of a very substantial floored/lined attic area providing more space.
Of broad appeal, for those seeking a bolt-hole/holiday home or as a main home for a couple, family or retired/semi-retired or perhaps a single person looking for extra space/flexibility. In particular the accommodation comprises on ground floor, reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off whilst discreetly positioned staircase from the hall leads to the upper apartments, lounge to the front with wonderful sea views, separate kitchen to the rear with door to garden, an additional bedroom (No 1) or additional public room if required is also located to the rear. On the upper level, 3 good sized bedrooms (Nos 2, 3 & 4) together with a stylish modern bathroom. An internal staircase within the upper hallway cupboard provides convenient access to a substantial floored/lined attic storage area with velux style skylight to the front providing sweeping sea views.
The specification includes both oil fired central heating & double glazing. EPC – D. Private gardens are located to the front and rear, the front with staircase leading up to a level/hedged lawn whilst the rear has patio style area with lawn sloping uphill. On-street parking is available.
Dunure Harbour Village is accessed from the A719 (Ayr Road) coastal road which runs south from Ayr, passing Culzean Castle and on through Maidens to Turnberry, then linking onto the A75 for Girvan/Stranraer etc. Public transport is currently a bus service.

In our view… a rare opportunity to acquire a very desirable sea view home which combines its wonderful location with generous/flexible accommodation. The changing colour/movement generated by a seascape together with the Isle of Arran on the horizon will no doubt command the attention of the successful purchaser …as it has for the current owners who have a myriad of spectacular sunset views from their home which are quite magical.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* A superb opportunity for the skilled “DIY’er” or those seeking a home which they can have professionally upgraded to their own style/budget …this very desirable “Attached” Traditional Red Sandstone fronted Bungalow is located within highly popular Prestwick, sought after for its vibrant town centre and proximity to the sweeping seafront/promenade.
This appealing home requires modernisation, notably offered for sale on a “Sold as Seen” basis following internal damage from a burst pipe, however the competitive price easily accommodates future refurbishment works.
Deceptive externally, internal viewing reveals 5 Main Apartments over 2 levels with the added benefit of a detached garage to the rear. The accommodation is best suited to use as 2 public (ground floor) & 3 bedrooms (on the upper level) …however one of the ground floor apartments has been utilised as an additional bedroom in the past.
Reading the Home Report reflects that the property has been left in a “shell like” state following the water damage however some considerable time has elapsed since and the property is presented dry with exposed timbers in the kitchen ceiling which was the main area of damage. The Sellers could have chosen to refurbish the property and then marketed at a substantial premium to its current price however the decision was made to offer the property for sale “as-seen” to allow the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style to their own specification/budget.
The accommodation is accessed via a side main door entrance onto the reception hall which leads onto the ground floor apartments whilst a substantial staircase leads to the upper hallway. In particular, on ground floor – bay windowed lounge, separate larger dining/family room, separate kitchen with porch off. On the upper level, 3 bedrooms – the 2 larger “dormer windowed” bedrooms to the front (Nos 1 & 2) with a smaller 3rd bedroom to the rear whilst the bathroom is located off the upper hallway.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing however please note the gas central heating system is untested/sold-as-seen. EPC – D. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, with the rear requiring attention. A lane style driveway to the rear leads to a detached garage whilst on-street parking is also available.
The Home Report notes a Mortgage Valuation for the property (in its present unrefurbished condition) of £155,000. The “Market Value” is expected to be higher. Please note once again that the property is “Sold-as-Seen” with no guarantees or warranties provided (we would advise for instance that the electrical wiring is further safety tested/inspected *replaced in areas perhaps* even although there has been considerable drying out time).
In our view, this style of home remains highly sought after by local buyers and particularly Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside. Prestwick’s thriving town centre provides an interesting mix of shopping/amenities, a welcome contrast to typical repetitive high street offerings. The A79/A77 are a short car journey away from Whinfield Road providing convenient access North & South …and of course Prestwick promenade/seafront invites one to relax by-the-sea on calm summer days or stride out on bracing autumn/winter seafront walks when one can enjoy the seaspray!
The property remains very desirable and will no doubt appeal to the enthusiastic purchaser who embraces the unique opportunity this Charming Home provides…

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* Enjoying favoured Prestwick residential locale, this desirable Semi Detached Bungalow does require modernisation, hence the competitive price, however the successful purchaser secures the opportunity to modernise/re-style to suit their own particular style/specification & budget ….rather than paying a “premium” for an already modernised property which isn’t to the style which they would wish. In addition the undeveloped attic area offers further potential - subject to any required planning permission etc.
The accommodation which is conveniently all on-the-level comprises, entrance vestibule onto the reception hall, good sized lounge, separate kitchen (door to garden from here), 2 bedrooms & bathroom. Partial mixed vintage electric heating and double glazing are featured (both “sold-as-seen”). There is no gas supply within the property however we believe a mains gas supply is located within Morris Road – connection may be possible at the new owners expense/if permitted by the gas supplier etc (no guarantee of supply offered by the seller). EPC – E. The attic area invites further development (if required), subject to the required planning/building warrant etc. Private gardens are provided to the front & rear. On-street parking is available.
In our view…. No 24 Morris Road is an inviting “blank canvas” with real potential for its next owner to create their own stylish/comfortable home.

** Available to View Now ** IVY COTTAGE, LOCHINVER, ASSYNT – A Charming Traditional Stone/Slate Detached Cottage tucked away in an easily missed larger plot/gardens, off the main seafront/harbour road that forms the heart of Lochinver Village.
Lochinver, Assynt is situated in the Highlands Region of North West Scotland, arguably one of the most scenic regions of Scotland/the UK, resplendent with its rich variety of fabulous scenery/views providing an almost magical visual feast for residents & visitors alike. Sutherland boasts an enviable array of outdoor pursuits with enthusiasts & occasional visitors alike spoilt for choice - climbing, hillwalking, fishing, bird/wildlife watching (incl' Golden Eagles), kayaking/canoeing, cycling, wild camping ...and beautiful often deserted beaches with sparkling clear water… all available to enjoy without the congestion found in areas like The Lake District in the North of England. The history & geology of Sutherland adds a further element to its immense appeal.
Lochinver itself can be described as the largest "town" north of Ullapool yet it undoubtedly has the character of a small fishing village... approx. 36 miles from Ullapool & 92 miles from Inverness. Nestling in a picturesque sheltered harbour with private houses scattered around the village/hillsides whilst the main road on which you enter the village has a useful variety of local shopping, restaurants, petrol station, post office etc with the Michelin Star Chez Rouz InverLodge Hotel overlooking the village from its highest point.
Ivy Cottage dates from circa 1890’s, owned within the same family since the late 1940’s. The original cottage has been extended in the past, currently featuring on-the-level accommodation of reception hall, lounge, dining kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The specification includes both electric heating & double glazing. Services include mains water, drainage & electricity. The cottage benefits from having been re-roofed in slate, circa 2007.
The competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to modernise the existing cottage internally or perhaps, subject to planning etc, to redevelop/extend the property utilising the large plot/gardens in which it is attractively sited. To the front boundary/entrance gate one can enjoy splendid views across the roadway to the harbour/seascape beyond.
* Please NOTE - For the avoidance of doubt, photos displayed are of the property, its gardens, Lochinver & the surrounding area and particular viewpoints.
