This desirable home enjoys a very convenient town centre location with easy access to a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport whilst Ayr’s sweeping promenade/seafront is within eyesight/a short walk - noting the elevated views from the attic apartment, across the rooftops with the coastline stretching out along the horizon.
The current owner has undertaken refurbishment works over an extended period of time, gradually nearing completion, with the extensive attic level a particular focal point - formally converted with the necessary planning permission etc. Some minor works are required however the competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to finalise the interior to suit their own style/budget (noting the positive Home Report mortgage valuation of £220,000).

The main staircase from the reception leads to the first floor hallway which features 3 bedrooms together with a larger style 4 piece bathroom. A discreetly positioned and well constructed staircase nestles just off the upper hallway, rising to the attic level which is available as a very substantial/private 4th bedroom or available for use as a 3rd public room - currently an open-plan living/family/cinema room.

No 4 Greystones - A superb opportunity to acquire a Prestwick Promenade/Seafront Home, enjoying fabulous panoramic coastal/sea views with the Isles of Arran & Ailsa Craig on the horizon.
Greystones was originally built, circa 1904, as a substantial Traditional Detached Sandstone Villa amidst a larger plot on the corner of Links Road/Ardayre Road with the West Elevation to the front enjoying panoramic sea views. Historically its former owners include Janie Allan (part of the successful Allan Shipping Line Family), notable for her strong involvement in the Scottish Womens Suffragette Movement which featured in the struggles of the early 20th Century.
We understand that Greystones was the subject of a Residential Conversion in the 1960's, forming what we now see - 4 2-Storey Conversions. No 4 enjoys the favoured West Elevation capturing the wonderful seascape views from both its ground & upper front facing apartments.
Undoubtedly the property will appeal to those clients seeking a seafront property, however although it does require modernisation, it offers the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style/upgrade to their own specification/budget.
The well proportioned accommodation is over 2 main levels with an undeveloped attic area perhaps offering further potential, subject to required planning permission etc. Access to the property is via a main door entrance from the promenade or shared access across the rear garden/pathway from the side (off Links Road) or the shared rear driveway (off Ardayre Road). A single garage to the rear is included together with a share of the communal rear gardens whilst the garden area directly in front facing the promenade is private to No 4.
The ground floor comprises front & rear entrance hallways, spacious lounge/dining, separate living room (potential perhaps to open this room up with the adjoining kitchen - planning permission would be required), kitchen, useful understair wc, whilst on upper level, 4 bedrooms, shower room & separate wc. A floored/lined attic storage area is accessed via loft hatch located in bedroom No 1. The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. Off & On-street parking is available.
The property is undoubtedly convenient for the adjacent sweeping promenade/seafront whilst the thriving Prestwick Town Centre provides a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport.
In our view No 4 Greystones provides the successful purchaser with a very rare opportunity to a create a wonderful seafront home. Internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both its potential & spectacular sea views.

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.

A unique Traditional Flat retaining considerable character, enjoying favoured ground floor position within most appealing Traditional Sandstone Terrace, with No 19 having been re-slated in 2017, comprising 4 flats - 2 on each level. Bellevue Crescent is a highly regarded residential locale of mixed style period homes, reminiscent in style/location to Glasgow's desirable "West End", yet at a much more competitive price ...and with Ayr's sweeping promenade/seafront within walking distance.
Particular mention should be made of the unique nature of the accommodation featured - we are advised that the original "Washhouse" which served the common building was acquired by this flat circa 1930's, now utilised as the breakfasting/kitchen, uniquely adding to its larger proportioned accommodation. Further focal points include the provision of a private "back door" onto its private rear garden area together with a useful "sun-porch" and a valued garage (smaller size - potential buyers are advised to check whether their vehicle would fit).
Internal viewing reveals most appealing accommodation of 4 Main Apartments - in particular, a welcoming reception hall, impressive bay windowed formal lounge to the front with attractive outlook, separate dining/family room which could be utilised as a 3rd bedroom if required, breakfasting/kitchen (within original wash-house - note angular shape & part split-level) with a door leading to a useful sun-porch overlooking the rear garden, 2 bedrooms (to front & rear respectively) and bathroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - E. The stone chipped front garden area is private to this property whilst the main garden area pictured to the rear is also private to this property (exact details to be confirmed from title deeds along with any right of access for other owners etc). A private external cellar is provided whilst we understand there is partial use available of a small former wash-house (shared with other owners). A common pathway to the rear provides access to the garage which is also private to this property, this also being accessible from the lane running parallel to the rear of Bellevue Crescent. On-street parking is available (residents permit can be purchased at annual cost from the local council).
In our view... A superb opportunity to acquire a charming Traditional Flat, unique with its larger layout/configuration, with the added benefit of its own private rear door, gardens and a garage. It would benefit from modernisation however the competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to re-style to their own budget/specification.
