Although tucked quietly away the property is very convenient for access to Prestwick’s thriving town centre and excellent local schools, both within walking distance. 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 appreciate the appeal of Prestwick together with its sweeping seafront.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within ever popular Dundonald Village, amidst the picturesque Ayrshire Countryside yet convenient for those commuting via the A77/A78, this attractively styled Modern Detached Villa, built by O’Brien Homes, circa 2007 is set within a select development of mixed style quality homes. Visually, the contrasting brick finish/external detailing provides a pleasing contrast to the often bland style new build homes that one often sees. A superb family home with 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, alternatively flexible for those “working from home”.
The well presented accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with dual aspects to the front & rear whilst feature twin doors from here open onto the separate dining room which in-turn has patio doors leading onto the private/enclosed rear garden with feature patio area, the kitchen is accessible from the hall or dining room – extensively fitted with a stylish array of base/wall cabinets together with integrated appliances and a small breakfasting style space. An attractive staircase provides a fine centrepiece within the reception hall, this rising to the upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located. Bedroom No 1 being the “master” bedroom to the front with a very stylish en-suite whilst No 2 is also situated to the front. Bedroom Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear enjoying views across the garden/adjacent property with Dundonald Castle ruins & woodland beckoning in the distance. The main bathroom off the upper hallway serves bedroom Nos 2, 3 & 4, noting the additional “downstairs” wc.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. The EPC is C. Neatly presented private gardens are provided to the front & rear, the rear being an inviting outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days, the feature decked patio area provides an attractive outdoor dining/seating area. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached single garage which offers secure parking/storage.
Dundonald Village enjoys a favoured countryside setting yet sits centrally for access to Kilmarnock, Irvine, Troon whilst both Prestwick & Ayr are within convenient commuting range The A77/A78 provide easy commuting links with Glasgow approx. 30 mins by car. Public transport by bus is available. Amenities include a local convenience store/take away/pub/restaurant etc. The local school is Dundonald Primary.
In our view… No 1 School Wynd is perhaps a “little bit more niche” in the sense that it successfully combines its desirable 6 Main Apartment Accommodation with a much more appealing external styling, rewarding the owners with the feeling that they have bought their own special home.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable 4 Bedroom Modern Detached Villa, adjacent to railway line, enjoying elevated golf course views to rear with the sea/coastline on the horizon. One of a small number of similar style homes built on Douglas Avenue, Prestwick. Of particular appeal to those seeking a detached home in a favoured locale, convenient for walking to Prestwick’s sweeping promenade seafront.
Competitively priced to allow scope for the successful purchaser to refresh the property internally, noting that the conservatory to the side has suffered some minor movement. A Structural Engineer’s Report (packaged to view along with the pdf Home Report, available only by visiting our blackhay.co.uk website – we do not send this via rightmove) confirms the house itself is unaffected by the conservatory which was believed to have been added after the property was built. It seems likely the issue is related to the foundation of the conservatory however it is considered of “No Value” with regard to the Home Report mortgage valuation of £260,000 and the property is “Sold as Seen”.
Internal viewing reveals a well proportioned modern style home featuring 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, the ground floor comprising, most welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with semi-open plan dining to rear, separate breakfasting/kitchen with rear vestibule off and door/stairs leading down to the rear pathway. On the upper level, 4 bedrooms are provided, providing flexible accommodation for a growing family or additional home working/leisure space if a non-family buyer – noting the pleasingly elevated golf course views (over the railway line) from the rear facing apartments. The main bathroom is also on the upper level.
Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. Attic storage is available. EPC – D. Noting the site of the property is elevated/slopes downhill, therefore the front garden area is level with the roadway and is attractively landscaped, the rear garden is non-existent other than a paved pathway which runs along the rear of the property allowing full access around the property. A sloping private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage which currently provides secure parking/storage. There are different options available perhaps to create more garden, perhaps removing the garage and creating a decked/patio style area (as on-street parking adjacent to the property is generally available) however the successful buyers will no doubt have their own thoughts.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire’s “property hotspot”, with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the delightful/sweeping promenade & seafront are within walking distance. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. Of broad appeal, valued locally by family buyers in particular, together with couples & retired/semi-retired clients, whilst further afield of interest to 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.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * No 7 The Crescent - A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 6 Main Apartment Traditional Flat which forms the entire Ground Floor of a charming Detached Red Sandstone Villa, itself within most favoured horseshoe style crescent near to Prestwick Cross. Externally the property initially appears to be a pair of Semi Detached Villas however we understand from the owners that is it believed to have been originally built as separate ground & upper flats (perhaps more visually reminiscent of a upper & lower conversion) and remaining the same style today.
Access is by way of a private driveway to the left hand side, with private main door porch entrance. The side pathway also leads to the private rear garden which extends across the rear with internal access from the kitchen. Two useful attached outhouses provide valued external storage space. We understand the entire front garden area is wholly owned by the ground floor flat (exact details/boundaries to be confirmed from the title deeds).
Entering through the private porch, the main door opens onto a lengthy reception hall with on-the-level apartments comprising, a most appealing bay windowed lounge to the front with garden/crescent views, a separate dining room to the side/rear which leads onto a modern style rear facing kitchen (door to garden), bedroom Nos 1 & 2 are located to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear, with the bathroom situated midway off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - D. Private gardens are situated to the front & rear with the rear providing much valued private outdoor space. The private driveway provides off-crescent parking.
The property was purchased by its most recent owner as both their private home & to function as a guest house which it did so until the owner latterly retired from business and lived comfortably in this substantial yet very flexible home. The competitive price allows scope for the successful purchase to modernise to their own style/budget and the 6 Main Apartments are entirely flexible, perhaps serving as a family home or for a couple looking for space to relax/entertain and perhaps work from home.
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 of traditional flat in Glasgow's West End will easily exceed £500,000 ...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.
