An exceptionally rare opportunity… Tucked within most admired yet easily missed Mansewell Road, a short walk from Prestwick’s sweeping seafront/promenade – No 6 is a charming character home of Semi Detached Chalet Villa style, interestingly with a deceptive & most appealing cottage style exterior (formerly known as Anchor Cottage). Its attractive sandstone façade overlooks delightful sloping lawned gardens which serve as the main front entrance, noting there are also 2 side gated entrances and a valued private driveway/detached garage to the rear. Internal viewing reveals a home of immense character & charm, larger proportioned main apartments are featured complemented by eye-catching higher ceilings with fine decorative plasterwork detailing whilst the front facing apartments enjoy pleasing mature garden views and elevated views from the upper apartments (bedrooms) include glimpses of Arran on the horizon.
Substantial traditional homes in Prestwick remain rare to the market (Mansewell Road homes are even rarer to the market) and are particularly valued by family buyers and Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside. Rarely available of this proportion, No 6 is clearly a much loved home serving its current owners for approx’ 50 years, the spacious apartments easily accommodating a growing family, or equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. The property has served its current owners as a comfortable family home with the opportunity for the successful purchaser to re-style to suit their own taste/budget. The twin level accommodation layout offers flexibility – currently utilised as 3 Public/4 Bedrooms however can easily revert to 2 Public/5 bedrooms.
In particular, the accommodation on the ground floor comprises, welcoming reception with fabulous period spiral staircase wrapping around a substantial centre post (reputed to have been part of ship’s mast, although unconfirmed) displaying wonderful aged timber finish, a most impressive formal bay windowed lounge, separate dining room with further public room currently serving as family room (alternative bedroom No 5), bedroom No 1, “Galley” style kitchen to the rear which is “dated” – this leading through the rear vestibule (door to garden) onto a most useful modern shower room/wc, the main bathroom which has also been re-fitted nestles discreetly under the main staircase. Rising up the wonderful staircase, passing the half-level window alcove, one reaches the upper hallway which provides access to 3 bedrooms - the centre bedroom (No 3) of large single proportion, flanked either side by 2 spacious double bedrooms (Nos 2 & 4) – all the upper bedrooms enjoying wonderful elevated garden views and glimpses across adjacent distant homes to the horizon which features the partial outline of the Isle of Arran (on clear days).
Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC – E. The good sized gardens to the front & rear are a valued additional feature of the property, well established providing privacy and welcome outdoor space in which to relax on the best of days – the front garden a picturesque foreground to the property whilst the rear combining an inviting patio area and natural lawn. There are 3 gated pedestrian entrances, 1 to the front & 2 to the side, a gated private driveway to the rear provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage with remote controlled door.
Prestwick is 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…
“With 35 Years in the property industry I have never tired of valuing/marketing & selling homes. Every home is special in its own way to its owners …occasionally a particular home tugs at my own property heart making me wonder what it would be like to own/live in that particular home.
At the end of my visit, after gathering all the marketing information/photos etc… I closed the door of No 6 Mansewell Road, walked down the path, turned & paused …and thought, the new owner will indeed be blessed to own this very special home – one which features a wonderful staircase at its heart …circa 50 years of footsteps of its current owners up n’ down …and who knows how many years that staircase will enjoy the footsteps of its new owners.
We are merely custodians of the home that we own …however with special homes, you are lucky to form part of its history.”

No 4 The Crescent - A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Traditional Red Sandstone Semi Villa within most favoured horseshoe style crescent near to Prestwick Cross. Formally an entire Semi Villa, which was subsequently extended to the rear, then later converted into 2 self-contained flats, comprising a ground floor flat which includes the extended accommodation to the rear – together with a double upper flat, the property has been used as a single home for many years.
This is a rare opportunity for those either seeking the flexibility that the 2 flats provide, or the option to return the property to one very substantial home - subject to any required planning permission etc …noting the property is currently used as a single property with single council tax (Band F)
The property forms part of an attractive crescent of similar style traditional homes which enjoy pleasing aspects over the shaped tree-lined green. Although maintained over its ownership it is fair to say that it would benefit from internal modernisation which is reflected in the competitive price – noting the Home Report Mortgage Valuation of £390,000 for the property in its current condition
The main access to No 4 is the main door/entrance vestibule to the front which has storm door then 2 inner doors – the right providing access to the ground floor whilst the left leads to the double upper flat.
The ground floor flat comprises – reception hall, lounge, family room, extended dining/kitchen, bedroom (No 1), shower room/wc.
There is a separately accessed extension to the rear on ground floor (accessed via patio door within rear garden) – 2 rooms located here.
The double upper flat comprises (1st Floor) – lounge (No 2), kitchen (No 2), bedroom Nos 2, 3, bathroom & study. (Attic Level) – bedroom Nos 4, 5, small shower room/wc & dressing room.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - E. Neatly presented mature gardens are situated to the front & rear with the rear providing valued private outdoor space. The private driveway (check your vehicle width down the side of the house) provides off-crescent parking whilst the detached garage provides secure parking/storage.
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. Traditional Style Homes remain in demand, of broad appeal and valued by local homebuyers whilst further afield this particular style of home tends to attract Glasgow based buyers who are seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance. Interestingly a similar size/condition substantial Semi Villa in Glasgow's West End will cost double the price of Prestwick ...yet Prestwick provides that magical by-the-seaside location, with easy commuting to/from Glasgow. Homemovers relocating from South of the Border continue to seek out coastal locations/properties with the attraction of added "value for money" in relocating from south to north.
In our view a very rare opportunity to acquire a desirable/unique Traditional Semi Villa which can comfortably accommodate an entire family or has the option of being used separately.

This superb family home has been enhanced further by its present owners with the conversion of the former double integrated garage which now forms a semi-open plan dining & family room with a useful separate study off. Bryant Homes completed this particular property circa 1999, we understand this was one of only 2 “Ailsa” Style Homes built which were believed to be the largest style at that time – with the garage conversion completed the accommodation extends to 8 Main Apartments (plus the useful small study/workroom), over 2 levels.
Deaconsbank is adjacent to Newton Mearns, connected by Deaconsbank Road, convenient for access across the south side with its wide arrange of shopping/amenities whilst the popular Mearns Cross & Silverburn Shopping Centres are easily accessible by car. The M77 is a short car journey providing convenient city centre access by car or one can use the train via the station a short distance away. A variety of local parks & golf courses are also nearby. No 7 Deaconsbank Gardens benefits from being within the Glasgow Boundaries, outwith East Renfrewshire where comparable properties would likely be assessed in a higher council tax band due to their higher purchase price. The school catchment will be Glasgow however at present if a family already has children attending East Renfrewshire Schools then they would continue doing so (potential buyers are advised to check latest school entry requirements direct with their desired school).
The flexible accommodation comprises on ground floor – reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, lounge with multi-fuel fire being a warm focal point when loaded with crackling logs, the dining & family rooms are semi-open plan with a separate small study/workroom off, the kitchen features a useful utility room adjacent, an informal living room/office with patio doors is available as a 4th public room or 5th bedroom if required.

*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 Soon * “ The CHASE ”, By Knockentiber… A Charming Cottage Style Detached Bungalow enjoying a wonderful countryside setting. This much loved home was purchased 33 years ago by the current owners, fulfilling their desire for an equestrian property which would allow them to be “hands-on” with their horses. Initially purchased with its large garden plus circa 2 acres, the owners' purchased a further circa 2 acres to provide an ideal setting for their horses to graze adjacent to their home whilst being conveniently stabled within their own property grounds.
The property is approached by a private (good quality surface) tarmacadam road shared with 2 adjoining owners. Private gated access leads into the rear of the property with hardstanding parking, the house and the outbuildings (Stables/Office/Garage/Tack-room) formed on L-shape whilst the front/side of the property overlooks open countryside including the fields owned by the Sellers. Services include mains power & water, a private septic tank and lpg (gas) heating. An undeveloped attic provides excellent additional storage. Both the paddock/grazing fields have independent gated access.
The current owners had the property professionally extended in 2013 now providing flexible 5 Main Apartment Accommodation which is all on-the-level, normally 2 public/3 bedrooms however it could be utilised as 1 public/4 bedrooms if required, noting that there are 2 bathrooms. Internal viewing reveals an attractively presented home with well proportioned rooms complemented by a quality specification reflecting the owners' attention to detail.
A main door access is provided to the front of the property albeit the rear porch entrance from the courtyard is the natural entrance. In particular comprising, separate entrance porch opening onto a reception hall area which in-turn forms part of the well appointed dining/kitchen (all situated to the rear), a central inner hallway leads to the main accommodation – the front right hand side features a most appealing lounge enjoying picturesque views, directly behind a 2nd public room (family room) which could be an alternative 4th bedroom whilst on the left hand side, the “master” bedroom (No 1) enjoys similar views as the lounge, directly behind is bedroom No 2, a fabulous “luxury” larger style bathroom with very stylish 4 piece suite/fitments functions as the main bathroom with a useful 2nd/guest bathroom adjacent, finally to the rear a flexible room – the 3rd bedroom, currently a tv/living room.
As stated the fields are immediately adjacent to the front of the property, set on an L-shape with gated access from within the property itself or an additional “field gate” on an external road leading to the property. The outbuildings are joined “back to back” with the pitched roof section overlooking the courtyard divided into 3 sections - an informal office (with small wc – requires attention), a central garage and a separate tack room …whilst the flat roofed building adjoining the rear has flexible stabling for 3 – 4 horses/ponies (currently not in use, serving as a secure storage area). The neatly presented private gardens are formed on a u-shape, an inviting area in which to potter or relax outdoors and keep an eye on any four legged friends grazing in the fields.
The property sits just off a semi-rural road on the outskirts of Knockentiber/Crosshouse, Kilmarnock with mixed style country style properties dotted around. To discuss your interest in this particular property please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ The CHASE was my clients' Dream Home, fulfilling their longing for an equestrian property which would be a comfortable/practical retreat for them and their much loved horses. It is a reluctant sale however as my clients no longer have horses it seems right to move on and let someone else fulfil their dream.
I am lucky that after 37 years in the property industry I still enjoy being part of the home moving process helping Sellers & Buyers along their property journey. Every so often I market a Dream Home that stirs my property soul, one which I would happily buy and look forward to pottering or relaxing. If I purchased The CHASE the stables would be full of motorbikes to keep me occupied, and it is fair to say that it will be of wider appeal than just the equestrian Buyer.
So, if you are genuinely looking to move and want a Special Home, get in touch and we can have a chat. "

* 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.

" 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. "

* NEW to Market * A rare opportunity to acquire a unique “Double Upper” Conversion enjoying spectacular elevated coastal/sea views beyond the sweeping fairways/greens of Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Course.
This unique home features “Duplex” style accommodation over 2 levels (1st floor & attic) having originally been a Traditional Red Sandstone Semi Villa, now formed into 2 separate homes, each with its own private entrance door from the main entrance.
The current owners have restyled/upgraded internally forming a most appealing “Glasgow West End” style interior whilst also adding a wonderful focal point of the rooftop balcony from which to enjoy those wonderful sweeping views. A private parking space is available to the rear whilst a much valued private garden area to the rear also allows one to enjoy the outdoors on those better weather days.
The excellent accommodation comprises, private entrance door onto vestibule with staircase leading to the welcoming upper reception hall, most appealing bay windowed lounge to the front – enjoying panoramic views stretching along the coastline whilst the golf course entertains in the foreground, a living/family room with separate dining kitchen featuring “range” cooker (door to rear of kitchen onto external staircase which leads down to the driveway/private garden), in addition 2 bedrooms (Nos 1 & 4) together with a stylish bathroom - focal point roll-top freestanding bath and “steam” shower cubicle.
A staircase from this level leads to the upper hallway off which 2 further bedrooms are featured together with a useful informal study within the rear attic area. Particular mention should be made of bedroom No 2 which features a stylish ensuite and fabulous rooftop balcony - one could easily imagine this room being used as an additional living room/snug from which to enjoy those breathtaking views.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing EPC – D. A private car parking space is provided to the rear whilst on-street parking is also available. External storage is available adjacent to the rear staircase together with an external cellar whilst the private rear garden features a stylish Summer House/patio area (with outdoor power).
Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre, excellent variety of amenities and its sought after 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 – with no sea/golf course views!) …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 true seafront home.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of Black Hay Estate Agents comments…
“ Even after 40 years in the property industry I still marvel at the magic of living by the sea …the changing seascape from flat calm to gentle ripples rolling onto the shore …or the contrast of the white horses/waves racing ashore on stormy days.
For me there is a special connection, an emotion …living by the sea, which is unmatched elsewhere. This Unique Character Home also enjoys the added attraction of the wonderful undulating golf course views across Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Course. In essence - 2 spectacular views for the price of 1.
This Unique Character Home has delivered the joy of seaside living/views for its current owners, with the added bonus of the unfolding landscape of Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Course in the foreground.
The successful purchaser will no doubt savour both the views & magical sunsets whilst being enticed to stroll along the sweeping Prestwick Promenade which is a short walk away.
A wonderful opportunity awaits… ”

What a wonderful opportunity! …a chance to own a substantial Traditional Sandstone Semi Detached Villa enjoying a highly sought after “near seafront” location on Marina Road, literally moments walk from Prestwick’s sweeping promenade/seafront. Rarely available of this proportion, Ardmore features 7 Main Apartments over 2 levels, ideally suited to the family buyer seeking a character home which can accommodate a growing family, equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain with the well proportioned accommodation over 2 levels offering flexibility of use.
Ardmore is attractively set amidst private landscaped gardens on a favourable corner site which provides a highly sought after driveway/garage. The rear gardens are particularly private/enclosed and a safe haven for children’s play or adults relaxing on those sought after sunny days. The sweeping seafront being literally 1 minute’s walk encourages one to explore/enjoy the magical attraction of Prestwick’s beach/seafront. Partial seascape views can be enjoyed from the “master” bedroom, across adjacent residence, with glimpses of the Isle of Arran on the horizon.
In particular the accommodation comprises, on ground floor, most welcoming reception hall (useful downstairs wc off), formal bay windowed lounge (currently this has been willingly surrendered to the owner’s children as their very own playroom), separate family/tv room, dining room, dining or breakfasting kitchen. An attractive bannister staircase rises from the reception hall, passing the half-level landing which features the main bathroom & bedroom No 4. Moving on to the upper hallway, 3 bedrooms are featured including the “master” bedroom with its elevated bay window views & a very stylish en-suite shower room/wc.
Excellent attic storage is provided. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC – Tbc. Private landscaped gardens are situated to the front & rear, whilst beyond the rear garden boundary there is a private driveway leading to a detached garage which offers much valued off-street/secure parking. On-street parking is also available. Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastline location, with Glasgow approx’ 30 miles away, hence Prestwick properties are popular with those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow.

“ With over 33 years working in the property industry, that iconic phrase location, location & location ....is still what property professionals recall when describing one of the key factors about property ….location, location, location! Ardmore has the magic location factor, plus… substantial accommodation, private parking, enjoys a near seafront position, retains character/charm, is positioned in Prestwick - a sought after/thriving coastline town ….If you are reading this and want to buy/live in Prestwick, you probably already appreciate everything No 51 Marina Road has to offer...... In short, this is a wonderful opportunity! ....I need say no more. ”
