* NEW to Market - Available to View Soon * “ The CHASE ”, By Knockentiber… A Charming Cottage Style Detached Bungalow enjoying a wonderful countryside setting. This much loved home was purchased 33 years ago by the current owners, fulfilling their desire for an equestrian property which would allow them to be “hands-on” with their horses. Initially purchased with its large garden plus circa 2 acres, the owners' purchased a further circa 2 acres to provide an ideal setting for their horses to graze adjacent to their home whilst being conveniently stabled within their own property grounds.
The property is approached by a private (good quality surface) tarmacadam road shared with 2 adjoining owners. Private gated access leads into the rear of the property with hardstanding parking, the house and the outbuildings (Stables/Office/Garage/Tack-room) formed on L-shape whilst the front/side of the property overlooks open countryside including the fields owned by the Sellers. Services include mains power & water, a private septic tank and lpg (gas) heating. An undeveloped attic provides excellent additional storage. Both the paddock/grazing fields have independent gated access.
The current owners had the property professionally extended in 2013 now providing flexible 5 Main Apartment Accommodation which is all on-the-level, normally 2 public/3 bedrooms however it could be utilised as 1 public/4 bedrooms if required, noting that there are 2 bathrooms. Internal viewing reveals an attractively presented home with well proportioned rooms complemented by a quality specification reflecting the owners' attention to detail.
A main door access is provided to the front of the property albeit the rear porch entrance from the courtyard is the natural entrance. In particular comprising, separate entrance porch opening onto a reception hall area which in-turn forms part of the well appointed dining/kitchen (all situated to the rear), a central inner hallway leads to the main accommodation – the front right hand side features a most appealing lounge enjoying picturesque views, directly behind a 2nd public room (family room) which could be an alternative 4th bedroom whilst on the left hand side, the “master” bedroom (No 1) enjoys similar views as the lounge, directly behind is bedroom No 2, a fabulous “luxury” larger style bathroom with very stylish 4 piece suite/fitments functions as the main bathroom with a useful 2nd/guest bathroom adjacent, finally to the rear a flexible room – the 3rd bedroom, currently a tv/living room.
As stated the fields are immediately adjacent to the front of the property, set on an L-shape with gated access from within the property itself or an additional “field gate” on an external road leading to the property. The outbuildings are joined “back to back” with the pitched roof section overlooking the courtyard divided into 3 sections - an informal office (with small wc – requires attention), a central garage and a separate tack room …whilst the flat roofed building adjoining the rear has flexible stabling for 3 – 4 horses/ponies (currently not in use, serving as a secure storage area). The neatly presented private gardens are formed on a u-shape, an inviting area in which to potter or relax outdoors and keep an eye on any four legged friends grazing in the fields.
The property sits just off a semi-rural road on the outskirts of Knockentiber/Crosshouse, Kilmarnock with mixed style country style properties dotted around.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ The CHASE was my clients' Dream Home, fulfilling their longing for an equestrian property which would be a comfortable/practical retreat for them and their much loved horses. It is a reluctant sale however as my clients no longer have horses it seems right to move on and let someone else fulfil their dream.
I am lucky that after 37 years in the property industry I still enjoy being part of the home moving process helping Sellers & Buyers along their property journey. Every so often I market a Dream Home that stirs my property soul, one which I would happily buy and look forward to pottering or relaxing. If I purchased The CHASE the stables would be full of motorbikes to keep me occupied, and it is fair to say that it will be of wider appeal than just the equestrian Buyer.
So, if you are genuinely looking to move and want a Special Home, get in touch and we can have a chat. "

The development is professionally managed with the appointed factors ensuring consistent presentation/maintenance which is clearly evident as one enters the grounds of Fairfield Park.
Entry is via a communal main door security entrance which leads onto a welcoming & notably more spacious (than typical new-build developments today) residents reception hall with either stair or elevator access to the equally spacious 2nd floor communal hallway, off which No 67 is accessed. Internal viewing reveals a pleasingly well proportioned/flexible home with the larger windows attracting both natural light & attractive views, In particular a lengthy reception hall (with good storage off, a stylish additional wc & a welcome fitted utility room) provides access onto the remaining apartments, comprising – a most appealing lounge with dual aspects & a private sheltered balcony which invites one to step outdoors & enjoy the wonderful sea views, a very stylish professionally re-fitted open-plan dining kitchen features an extensive array of high quality base/wall kitchen cabinets complemented by feature worktops & integrated appliances whilst adjacent is a formally separate dining room (previously a 4th bedroom), three further spacious double bedrooms are featured with stylish re-fitted wardrobe storage whilst a most appealing “glossy magazine” style main bathroom features white 2 piece fitments within vanity storage together & large walk-in shower cubicle.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “ Notwithstanding my 36 Years in the Property Industry and the thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in quite an array of different properties/locations over the years however Fairfield Park reminds me of Luxury Style Flats in Glasgow where I happily lived for a number of years.
The external space of this development one would rarely witness today on similar New-Build Flats as the developers/builders simply cannot resist the lure of profit/more properties versus the unseen value that comes with living amidst a development that actually breathes because of the space in which it is set. Add to that an elevator & the magical sea view aspects (neither of which I had in Glasgow), encouraging one to embrace promenade walks on the best of days or wrap up for those bracing autumn/winter walks where one leans into the wind & rain yet enjoys the exhilaration that only a wild sea can deliver.
In my view, No 67 Fairfield Park is an outstanding sea view home, of very rare 5 Main Apartment style, with its high quality/bespoke interior absolutely ready to move-in and embrace its new owners, offering the many benefits & welcome convenience that flat living provides …and when the New Owners want to do something else, simply lock up & leave …that’s the magic of flat living! ”

“ALDERBANK”, Doonfoot – A Charming Traditional Detached Cottage Style Home set amidst larger mature private gardens, within admired residential locale. Historically believed to be the site of one of the earliest built properties locally (however this is based on 3rd party information). The current owners have been resident for approx’ 30 years during which time they have upgraded/extended the property. It is fair to say that the successful purchaser will modernise the property however the competitive price allows scope to upgrade/re-style to your own taste/budget.
ALDERBANK is discreetly positioned on Scaur O’ Doon Road, well screened from the roadway by hedging/fencing with a pedestrian gate to the front whilst a gated driveway provides vehicular access to the rear. The mature gardens are of larger size, undoubtedly an attractive feature of the property, albeit some attention is required to these. Woodland area to the far side slopes down to the River Doon.
Internal viewing reveals a cosy home retaining it’s Cottage Style character with accommodation featured over 2 levels, comprising 7 Main Apartments. In particular, on the ground floor, entrance vestibule leads onto the reception hall which provides access to ground floor apartments whilst a staircase to the rear leads to the upper apartments, spacious lounge with most attractive sun room overlooking private front gardens, breakfasting kitchen leads onto larger size conservatory styled dining room (noting this is slate roofed to match the main house), two bedrooms, “downstairs” wc. On upper level, 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom (noted coombed ceiling upstairs). A small attached garage has integral access through a store room (just off bedroom No 1).
The specification includes gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – E. Generous mature gardens are a feature of the property encouraging fantastic enclosed family use or offering the keen gardener/bird lover the opportunity to create a picturesque haven. The detached garage to the rear has been removed however there remains ample space to build a garage/store (subject to any required planning permission) whilst the gated driveway offers further private parking.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“I live on the edge of The Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park, so I’m used to being surrounded by nature. When I first walked into the gardens of ALDERBANK it just seemed to be a delightful sheltered natural haven, one in which to relax, whether at the end of a busy day or as part of a gentle retirement. Yes, it needs work done. Yes, the gardens need work. However, as an Antique Dealer friend of mine often says – find me another! I think the successful buyer secures the opportunity to develop their own haven, yet it’s not miles away in the countryside (as I am, commuting 90 miles each day to/from work) …..and don’t forget, the sweeping promenade/seafront is only a short walk away.”

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * “Courtfield”, Prestwick. A rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable well proportioned Traditional Part Red Sandstone Semi Detached Villa enjoying a sought after position tucked within Oswald Drive, easily missed, a short walk from Prestwick Cross/Town Centre. Traditional homes of this style remain rare to the market and are particularly valued by family buyers and Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside.
This Charming Home, acquired by its owners in the early 1980’s has been much loved, featuring an abundance of timber finishes, these having been a particular passion of the owners who spent considerable time & care re-storing them. “Courtfield” retains immense character with original features like the aforementioned timber finishes, delightful period stained/leaded glazed window panels and doors/handles all enhancing its appeal. The well proportioned accommodation easily serves a growing family, or is equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. Having served its current owners as a comfortable family home the opportunity now exists for the successful purchaser to re-style elements (the kitchen & bathrooms being most likely) to suit their own taste/budget.
The property stands discretely in Oswald Drive, with a private driveway/parking area & attached garage (purchasers always advised to check in advance that their car will fit any garage). To the rear, easily maintained paved patio style gardens in which to relax or let children play securely, also featuring display flower/shrub beds, twin greenhouses and a most welcome timber finish summerhouse providing a shaded or sheltered outdoor retreat.

A striking timber finish staircase rises from the reception hall to the upper hallway where 3 bedrooms are featured including the bay windowed “master” bedroom (No 1) to the front, whilst a larger size bathroom (shower & bath featured) is also provided on this level.
Excellent attic storage is provided, accessed via concertina ladder from the upper hallway. Gas central heating is featured. EPC – D. Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. 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 seeking to move nearer to the seafront & requiring a larger family proportioned home.
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 and value highly the magic ingredient of a coastal town location.
Courtfield ticks so many boxes for a wide variety of buyers – its desirable location, well proportioned accommodation, private parking, character/charm, location in thriving Prestwick Town. The serious buyer looking for a larger home in Prestwick will no doubt be aware that this is indeed a wonderful opportunity. Courtfield has clearly been a much-loved home …and the successful buyers will surely enjoy celebrating when they collect their keys on removal day.”

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a most appealing & substantial 8 Main Apartment Modern Detached Villa within desirable Dundonald. This superb family sized home occupies favoured corner position with attractive open country views to the rear, whilst the detached double garage/driveway is a valued additional feature. The property has been a very comfortable home to its owner over several decades with its flexible & very sizeable internal layout being adaptable to suit family or non-family use.
The well proportioned accommodation comprises 8 Main Apartments over 2 levels, currently 4 public & 4 bedrooms with the former integral double garage having been converted decades ago to provide one of the current 4 public rooms - an outstanding family/living space. In particular, the ground floor features a welcoming reception hall with staircase leading to a large upper hallway, the lounge is situated to the front whilst a separate living room & dining room are located to the rear, the aforementioned substantial family room is notable to the front with its large twin full-drop windows, the kitchen is located to the rear with a useful utility area adjacent, a useful “downstairs wc” is located off the reception hall. Moving upstairs one is met with a pleasingly larger size upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located – Nos 1 & 2 to the rear enjoy elevated country views to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the front, a useful storage/study style area is positioned to one side whilst on the other, the main bathroom. Noting the space upstairs lends itself to the addition of a 2nd bathroom/en-suite (subject to required planning permission etc) however the current owner was happy with the existing layout.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing (apart from the family room). EPC – D. The property is set amidst neatly presented private gardens, tree lined to the roadway side and open to the rear over the countryside. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a valued detached double garage (with remote door access) with the pitched roof matching the main house. On-street parking is also available.
Dundonald Village is notably home to both Dundonald & Old Auchans Castle, it is situated within easy travelling distance of Ayrshire’s sweeping coast with its famous golf courses and seafront extending north & south, approx. 4 miles from Loans/Troon with convenient access to the A77/A78. Local amenities (including local shop/restaurant/pub etc) are provided within the village centre whilst the local school is Dundonald Primary School. Prestwick Airport is approx’ 7 miles away whilst the sweeping seafront at Barassie is approx’ 3 miles away. By car to Glasgow on the A77 from nearby Symington is approx’ 29 miles.
In our view, this substantial Modern Family Home is an outstanding alternative to New Build Detached Homes which are often squeezed onto new/repetitively styled developments with accommodation/parking which simply doesn’t compare to the space/value offered by this most appealing home. The serious Buyer will find it hard, in our opinion, to resist the flexibility provided by the 8 Main Apartments featured – internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space provided.
