* Available to View Now * An excellent opportunity to acquire a continually sought after Traditional Detached Bungalow within favoured Seafield, a short walk from Ayr’s sweeping promenade/seafront. A comfortable home to its owners over many years, it is fair to say the property would benefit from modernisation, however the competitive price reflects its “dated” condition whilst allowing scope for the successful purchaser to re-style to their own specification/budget.
The property/gardens are both neatly presented and one can appreciate that the owners have maintained the property to a good standard. Of particular appeal to some buyers, the undeveloped attic which offers further potential to create additional accommodation – subject to acquiring the necessary planning permission etc.
The accommodation is all on-the-level, comprising 4 Main Apartments which offer flexibility of use – either as 2 public/2 bedrooms or 1 public/3 bedrooms. In particular, main door entrance to the front with vestibule onto a welcoming reception hall, most appealing lounge to the front, extended kitchen to the rear with door to garden, 3 bedrooms (1 to front/2 to rear) – one of which (No 16) has been utilised as a dining/living room, the bathroom is located off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. A good sized/partially floored attic is accessed via a concealed wooden ladder within the hall cupboard – offering the aforementioned development potential. The gardens are neatly presented with a gated driveway providing private parking whilst also leading to a basic timber garage which offers secure parking/storage. On-street parking is also available.
Ayr is located on the South West Coast of Scotland, its coastline location proves popular with locals & visitors alike. A wide array of local amenities are accessible whilst the A77/A79 provides links north or south. Public transport including regular train/bus services from Ayr are available whilst Prestwick Airport is within easy travelling distance. Ayrshire is famed for its Golf Courses, historical connection with “the Poet” Robert Burns and many worthy historical attractions …and of course its sweeping seafront.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ After 35 years within the property industry I have long since lost count of the number of Bungalow Homes I have sold. Long established areas like Seafield remain highly favoured and the sporadic availability of more tightly packed (...and less appealing in my opinion) New Build bungalows only enhance the appeal of traditional bungalows.
No 16 Seafield Crescent has clearly been a comfortable home over many years ….no doubt it will welcome its new owner/s who can create their own comfortable haven to enjoy into the future. ”

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* “Harelaw” - An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a most desirable undeveloped Detached Bungalow – purchased from new by the owners who specifically requested at the time of the build to have the attic level undeveloped rather than the usual additional 2 bedrooms & 2nd bathroom …the successful purchasers therefore have the opportunity to create their own layout on the upper level (subject to acquiring planning permission etc), taking advantage of the huge undeveloped space available. The property is attractively set amidst mature corner gardens with the added benefit of a charming/substantial conservatory whilst the side positioned driveway (leading to the garage) provides generous private parking, accessed from Adamton Road North.
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. Bungalow Homes are much in demand, of broad appeal and valued locally by family & retired/semi retired clients whilst further afield they attract 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 larger proportioned ground floor apartments, whilst a discreetly positioned internal cupboard staircase leads to the very substantial undeveloped attic area. The ground floor comprises, a dual aspect open-plan lounge/dining extending to over 26’ in length, a separate kitchen to the rear with access to a charming conservatory with patio doors onto the rear gardens, two spacious double bedrooms are featured together with the bathroom. On the upper level, the substantial attic extends to over 38’ in length with an internal central head-height of approx’ 7’ 6” – centrally floored and one can see the concealed internal window openings that were created at the time of the build on either gable end, however not used.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – C. Neatly presented private corner sited gardens surround the property, laid out for ease of maintenance to the rear whilst the front is lawned to provide visual interest with willow trees. Private parking for several vehicles is available off-street within the large driveway which in-turn leads to a detached garage which offers secure parking/storage. On-street parking is also available nearby.
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… this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire an extremely rare Detached Bungalow with a undeveloped attic area where one can clearly see the huge potential to develop the accommodation further, rather than finding an upper layout already developed which may not be to your liking (noting planning permission will be required to develop the attic area). Harelaw is a rare find indeed! ”

Located within a highly regarded residential locale “Westwinds” discreetly conceals its fabulous feature swimming pool to the rear. Internal viewing reveals a most appealing home comprising 6 well proportioned Main Apartments over 2 levels, blending character with contemporary style including an exceptional “luxury” kitchen installed at considerable expense by the current owners. In particular, a welcoming reception hall, impressive lounge, separate dining room, stunning kitchen - extensively fitted with an array of integrated appliances & a cosy semi-open plan breakfasting room & separate utility room adjacent. 4 bedrooms are featured with 2 on the ground floor & 2 on the upper level – with a stylish bathroom serving each level. The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Private parking is provided to the front whilst on-street parking is also available.
Undoubtedly the external focal point is the pool/family area to the rear. The central swimming pool (heated with retractable cover) features a stylish decked surround with 3 social/seating areas inviting one to relax as if on holiday (without the poolside stress!) or enjoy social time with friends & family around the pool. The former garage now serves as an indoor social area adjacent to the pool (retreat if the rain arrives to delay the outdoor fun). A substantial high quality detached barbecue house is an optional extra (additional price to be negotiated).
In our view “Westwinds” is a desirable home without its swimming pool, however with the uncertainty ahead of holiday travel it will undoubtedly tick the boxes for those buyers who seek their Unique/Dream Home!
