An excellent opportunity for those seeking a “DIY Property with Potential”, this ever popular Traditional Red Sandstone Terraced Bungalow, of Cottage Style, is competitively priced to reflect the internal refurbishment required following a burst pipe in the attic above the living room to the rear – noting the property is being “Sold as Seen” with no guarantees or warranty whatsoever, further noting there is a mortgage valuation of £105,000 (for the property in its current condition) within the Home Report.
The property is set amidst a traditional terrace of similar style homes, convenient for the main road running between Ayr & Prestwick with local shopping/amenities accessible, nearby Sainsbury’s/Aldi, Heathfield Retail Park with a variety of superstore shopping whilst one can travel into either Ayr or Prestwick for more variety. Public transport includes bus & train services.
The accommodation is all on-the-level, comprising, reception hall, former bay windowed lounge to the front which has been utilised as a 2nd bedroom, separate living room to the rear with larger size kitchen off (a no value lean-to porch off), a further bedroom (No 1) is also located to the rear whilst the bathroom is situated off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - D. Attic storage space is available. Private gardens are located to the front & rear providing valued outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days or simply potter/garden.

In our view, an excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable property with potential, again noting that it is offered for sale on a strictly “Sold as Seen” basis. The property is likely to be sold at a Closing Date therefore “Interested Parties” are advised to instruct their chosen solicitor to formally “Note Interest” on their behalf which allows notification of the date/time of any Closing Date.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * In every sense, an opportunity for the enthusiastic DIY’er or professional… “Laurels” is a formerly Charming Traditional Detached Cottage, of Red Sandstone finish …which although having been a comfortable home to its owner over previous years, the very competitive price signals that it now requires extensive modernisation, some of which is detailed in the Home Report (available to view exclusively on our blackhay.co.uk website only). The property sits amidst private corner gardens which again require attention. Parking is available on-street.
Its position is favourable with a mix of New Homes to the rear whilst elsewhere there are well established traditional homes of varying style/size, an appealing countryside backdrop also sits on the rear horizon, whilst walking approx’ ½ mile from the property one can enjoy elevated views across the fields to the Firth of Clyde.
The property is accessed via a main door entrance to the front (noting there is only a single entrance/exit) whilst the accommodation which is all on-the-level comprises, L-shaped reception hall, good sized lounge with solid fuel fireplace (not tested), two bedrooms, a separate kitchen, bathroom & wc closet – all of which require re-fitment. Heating is by electric (again untested).
Despite the extensive works required there is a clear opportunity for the successful purchaser to create a home to suit their style/specification, hopefully enhancing its future value. It is fair to say the property will perhaps be of particular appeal to those clients seeking a “project” whether utilising their DIY skills or employing their own professional skills or relevant trades to carry out upgrading works.
The Home Report Mortgage Valuation is £90,000 in its current condition, the report gives a clear indication of the current condition/likely works required, noting the property is offered for sale at Offers Over £75,000 – Sold as Seen, with no guarantees or warranties.
“Every picture tells a story”, so the saying goes …”Laurels” is certainly presented in “Before” condition however it is only fair to reflect on its potential/favoured location and how the “After” pictures might look. The property will perhaps be of particular appeal to those clients seeking a “project” whether utilising their DIY skills or employing relevant trades to carry out upgrading works. Equally of broad appeal, whether as 1st Home or for the retired/semi-retired client or as a “bolt-hole”/holiday home.
At the indicated price this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity however please only view having taken into account the information provided here and in the Home Report. Serious potential purchasers are welcome to discuss matters in more detail with our Director/Valuer Graeme Lumsden on 01292 283606.
A Virtual Tour should be available within the next 7 Days so it may be worthwhile waiting to view this on our website when it is uploaded (Visit blackhay.co.uk from 10th March 2023 when the Virtual Tour should be uploaded for viewing). BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS can be contacted on 01292 283606. The Home Report is available to view here exclusively on our blackhay.co.uk website.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Soon * Rose Cottage - A Charming “Attached” Cottage situated within Tarbolton Village, approx’ 8.5 miles/15 minute drive from Ayr/Prestwick respectively. Of broad appeal, this attractively presented home features particularly spacious main apartments to the front with the added benefit of an enclosed/private garden area tucked away to the rear. The property combines comfortable on-the-level accommodation with excellent value for money, in comparison perhaps to a typical 1 bedroom flat.
The property is accessed via its main door entrance to the front, opening onto the entrance vestibule which in-turn leads onto the reception hall. A most appealing & well proportioned lounge with dining recess is situated to the front – a solid fuel fire is a pleasing additional feature, whilst a very spacious double bedroom is also located to the front. From the lounge to the rear, a short corridor style hallway leads to the rear door onto the private garden, whilst positioned either side of the hallway are… a compact “Galley” style kitchen and good sized bathroom.
The specification includes oil fired central heating together with double glazing. EPC – Tbc. There is a side pathway with locked gate leading to the enclosed rear garden (also accessed from the rear hallway of the cottage) which provides a private outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days. On-street parking is available.
Tarbolton is approx’ 6 mins/3.5 mile drive from the A77 (at Sandyford Toll Roundabout) which provides access to Ayr & Prestwick or travelling further north/south along the South Ayrshire coastline, alternatively one can commute on the A77 to Glasgow. The Village has convenience shopping and public transport is via a bus service. A local Primary School/early learning years centre is within the village.
In our view… this Charming Cottage will be of broad appeal, with its comfortable/well proportioned main apartment accommodation offering a more attractive option to similarly priced homes of differing style. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
