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.

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! ”

“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.
Internal viewing reveals a cosy home retaining it’s Cottage Style character with accommodation featured over 2 levels, comprising 7 Main Apartments. In particular, on the ground floor, entrance vestibule leads onto the reception hall which provides access to ground floor apartments whilst a staircase to the rear leads to the upper apartments, spacious lounge with most attractive sun room overlooking private front gardens, breakfasting kitchen leads onto larger size conservatory styled dining room (noting this is slate roofed to match the main house), two bedrooms, “downstairs” wc. On upper level, 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom (noted coombed ceiling upstairs). A small attached garage has integral access through a store room (just off bedroom No 1).
The specification includes gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – E. Generous mature gardens are a feature of the property encouraging fantastic enclosed family use or offering the keen gardener/bird lover the opportunity to create a picturesque haven. 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.”

“Karuna”, Weir Avenue, Prestwick – A rare opportunity to acquire a most desirable Traditional Detached Bungalow within favoured Prestwick locale. Deceptive externally, the property has been professionally extended by its current owners in late 2019, with internal viewing revealing a delightful rear facing extension, L-shaped of open-plan style forming perhaps the new heart of this very comfortable home with the kitchen/dining & family room inviting one to relax & socially interact.
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. A discreetly positioned staircase off the reception hall leads to the upper hallway which opens onto 2 further bedrooms (Nos 3 & 4) together with an upper shower room/wc serving either bedroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Neatly presented private gardens are featured to the front and rear, reflecting the owners keen interest in same, the rear with sheltered patio area to welcome those wishing to relax outdoors. A narrow shared (with adjacent Bungalow) driveway is positioned to the right of the property, not suitable for a car however providing separate/convenient access from front to rear. Parking is available on-street.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ With 35 years working in the property industry across Scotland, that iconic phrase location, location & location remains one of the key factors about a particular property’s desirability. 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. “

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a much-loved home set amidst picturesque gardens, truly delightful to explore, extending to an expansive circa 1.3 acre. No 1 is a Charming Period Cottage believed to pre-date 1900 (it may be in the region of 200 years old although we cannot confirm this accurately), occupying the end position of Burnside Cottages, a short row of similar style cottage homes set within desirable Sundrum Estate on the outskirts of Ayr.
This delightful Character Home has been occupied by its present owner since the late 1970’s, with the owner having enhanced the energy efficiency of the property by way of insulation/solar panel heating etc whilst the expansive garden has been a much enjoyed labour of love with an emphasis on eco friendly/organic/productivity together with its undoubted attraction as a magical environment for children to explore & play hide n’ seek with the garden wildlife.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable home which is rich with character & charm, period features including fireplaces with solid fuel fires, exposed stonework, all complemented by the magical garden views hidden to the rear. The property was extended in the past, unusually it retains two separate staircases which over time reveal their convenience of use as they are situated towards either end and encourage an easier flow between the ground & upper floors.
On the ground floor, the focal point being a substantial conservatory which stretches along the rear of the cottage providing twin areas - living & dining respectively both enjoying wonderful garden views, a formal character lounge is centrally positioned whilst a very spacious dining kitchen is positioned at the gable end with functioning pantry and useful separate utility room, in addition, the bathroom, useful separate shower room/wc & bedroom No 1 which serves as the “downstairs” bedroom. On the upper level, 3 spacious bedrooms with the twin staircases/hallways providing convenient access.

The expansive garden grounds are heavily screened for added privacy, with formal/informal areas, a well established woodland and a small burn running through a lower section of the garden. A detached triple garage block on the corner of the garden boundary provides both private/secure parking & storage with a floored/lined area together with useful utility.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ There is so much I could write with regards to this unique character home, its wonderful expansive gardens and its enthusiastic owner who clearly adores and has adored her home & garden over the years …however, it’s the viewing of this magical home & garden which replaces the written word.
I found it genuinely magical and I have no doubt that the successful buyer will be over-the-moon when they collect their keys on removal day and open the door for the 1st time …it’s the day that the dream becomes a wonderful reality. ”
