Of broad appeal, particularly for those seeking to “downsize”, retired/semi-retired clients, the “professional” seeking an easily maintained home or those seeking a holiday style “bolt-hole” which they can lock & leave. This very stylish home has been extensively refurbished by the present owners at considerable expense, with their demanding specification including feature Karndean Flooring, bespoke kitchen/bathroom/wardrobe fittings by Design Studio, culminating in a “Show Home” style presentation, ready to move in and enjoy. The development is professionally managed with the appointed factors ensuring consistent presentation/maintenance which is clearly evident as one enters the grounds of Fairfield Park.
Entry is via a communal main door security entrance which leads onto a welcoming & notably more spacious (than typical new-build developments today) residents reception hall with either stair or elevator access to the equally spacious 2nd floor communal hallway, off which No 67 is accessed. Internal viewing reveals a pleasingly well proportioned/flexible home with the larger windows attracting both natural light & attractive views, In particular a lengthy reception hall (with good storage off, a stylish additional wc & a welcome fitted utility room) provides access onto the remaining apartments, comprising – a most appealing lounge with dual aspects & a private sheltered balcony which invites one to step outdoors & enjoy the wonderful sea views, a very stylish professionally re-fitted open-plan dining kitchen features an extensive array of high quality base/wall kitchen cabinets complemented by feature worktops & integrated appliances whilst adjacent is a formally separate dining room (previously a 4th bedroom), three further spacious double bedrooms are featured with stylish re-fitted wardrobe storage whilst a most appealing “glossy magazine” style main bathroom features white 2 piece fitments within vanity storage together & large walk-in shower cubicle.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “ Notwithstanding my 36 Years in the Property Industry and the thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in quite an array of different properties/locations over the years however Fairfield Park reminds me of Luxury Style Flats in Glasgow where I happily lived for a number of years.
The external space of this development one would rarely witness today on similar New-Build Flats as the developers/builders simply cannot resist the lure of profit/more properties versus the unseen value that comes with living amidst a development that actually breathes because of the space in which it is set. Add to that an elevator & the magical sea view aspects (neither of which I had in Glasgow), encouraging one to embrace promenade walks on the best of days or wrap up for those bracing autumn/winter walks where one leans into the wind & rain yet enjoys the exhilaration that only a wild sea can deliver.
In my view, No 67 Fairfield Park is an outstanding sea view home, of very rare 5 Main Apartment style, with its high quality/bespoke interior absolutely ready to move-in and embrace its new owners, offering the many benefits & welcome convenience that flat living provides …and when the New Owners want to do something else, simply lock up & leave …that’s the magic of flat living! ”

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.

This splendid home is of broad appeal, carefully maintained & upgraded with flexible 6/7 Main Apartment Accommodation featured over 2 levels. Set amidst neatly presented & colourful (when in season) landscaped gardens with the rear gardens in particular inviting one to enjoy the outdoors when the favourable weather beckons.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire’s “property hotspot”, with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the sweeping promenade/seafront is within walking distance or a short cycle/car journey. Homes of this style remain rare to the market and although of broad appeal are valued by family buyers, retired/semi clients and particularly so by Glasgow based buyers & those relocating from South of the Border, seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside, and a better work/life balance.
Internal viewing reveals a welcoming reception hall which leads onto the ground floor apartments which comprise, dual aspect formal lounge to the front, absolutely charming contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with triple window aspects, dual velux windows drawing natural overhead light and the picture style patio doors leading down to the mature gardens, 2 bedrooms (Nos 1 & 2 with No 2 used as a study at present) together with the main bathroom.

In addition, post-lockdown has delivered a much increased flow of buyers who yearn for a more relaxed style of living, particularly moving from bustling city life in Glasgow to a coastal location that offers relaxing seafront/beach walks, encouraging one to enjoy the outdoor life.
In my view Karuna is in some respects an understated home externally, open the door and one is met with a simply charming & comfortable home which can easily adapt its accommodation to meet the demanding family or a couple seeking space in which to relax. This is indeed a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very desirable Detached Bungalow which has been thoughtfully extended and will no doubt tick many of the Wish-List boxes of buyers hoping to secure their next home in the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “

An ideal family home, featuring larger proportioned accommodation extending to 5 main apartments over 2 levels, offering flexibility of use.
A comfortable home to its owners over many decades, the property retains some of its original character however it is fair to comment that it does now require upgrading. The competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to restyle to their own budget/specification, creating their own special home which they can enjoy over the coming years. The property is set amidst mature private gardens with a private driveway to the side providing off-street parking.
The main entrance opens 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 – a bay windowed formal lounge to the front, directly behind is the dining/family room (or alternative 4th bedroom if required), to the rear - the kitchen with a useful “downstairs shower room/wc” off (door from kitchen to garden/driveway). On the upper level, 3 bedrooms with the "master" bedroom (No 1) being bay windowed to the front, whilst bedroom Nos 2 & 3 are situated to the front & rear respectively.

Naturally Troon is of broad appeal, popular with locals and commuters alike, Glasgow Buyers particularly favouring its wonderful seafront location, approx' 35 minutes commute by car from Glasgow City Centre (both train & bus services aid those commuting) whilst Edinburgh/East Coast Buyers favour the better weather of Troon on the West Coast. The property is convenient for walking to the seafront/beach and the town centre with its broad array of shopping, restaurants/bars & amenities. Both the A77/A79 are easily accessible by car.
