Graeme Lumsden, Director/Value of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" During my 30 Years in the estate agency industry I have viewed/marketed/and sold all types of properties however occasionally a particular property stands out …for me, born & brought up in the West End of Glasgow I am very familiar with Traditional Character Homes, having both lived in and sold them over the years.
I often encourage clients to consider looking beyond their usual comfort zone/location for their next home as there are real surprise properties out there awaiting discovery. Kingarth clearly falls into that category as it has all the hallmarks of a fine character home which one would find in Glasgow's West End or South Side however its location outwith Glasgow means that the successful purchaser would literally save several hundred thousand pounds purchasing Kingarth and accepting a little more commuting time.
I now live in Galloway, approx' a 45 mile commute from my office in Ayr. If I was looking to move Kingarth would be at the top of my list as it ticks the character/charm/accommodation and value for money boxes. I would be smiling broadly driving through its pillared entrance.
In my view it will be both a wise and lucky buyer who becomes the successful purchaser of Kingarth "

An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Bungalow built by renowned Hope Homes, one of a select number within this neatly presented development which enjoys picturesque open countryside/river views to the rear. This style of Bungalow was usually specified as a 3 Bedroom layout however the original & only owners from new requested a 2 Bedroom layout as they preferred to have larger proportioned rooms. In addition a larger size conservatory was added to take full advantage of its delightful views.
This most appealing home features on-the-level accommodation which although of broad appeal will be of particular interest to the retired/semi-retired client seeking a Modern Style Bungalow built by a quality builder, featuring larger proportioned main apartments …at a price which is very competitive in comparison to town located (ie Prestwick, Ayr, Troon) bungalows which will be much more expensive. In reality …the “canny buyer” will look out-of-town if they are not tied to the daily commute or require to be in or near a working town/city location.
The accommodation comprises – a welcoming reception hall, a very spacious formal lounge, separate larger dining/breakfasting kitchen, 2 bedrooms & a larger bathroom with modern suite and larger walk-in shower instead of bath. The splendid larger conservatory is accessed from the dining/kitchen and with its delightful views could easily be the focal point.
The attic area offers excellent storage. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC-D. Private gardens are provided to the front and rear, laid out for ease of maintenance, the rear being of larger size and enjoying delightful countryside views (garden shed provides external storage). A carport to the side provides sheltered private parking with monobloc driveway. A garage could perhaps be added to the rear, subject to required planning permission etc.
In our view… No 7 Burnpark, Catrine has been a much loved & comfortable modern home for its only owners …now presenting an opportunity for the successful buyer to own a desirable Detached “Hope Homes” Bungalow in what is arguably the best position within this attractive modern residential development on the edge of the Village of Catrine. No doubt the new owner will re-style to suit their own taste/budget therefore the out-of-town more competitive pricing allows scope for extra spending.
