"Kingarth" - A truly exceptional Traditional Conversion, forming the entire Upper Portion of this most imposing Detached Sandstone Villa. This fine home enjoys a beautifully presented and substantial private garden share which reflects the owners keen interest in same.
Entered from the main roadway through a pillared entrance onto the shared driveway with the private entrance to the Upper positioned to the left hand side/rear. Internal viewing confirms the immaculately presented accommodation which is presented to "Show Home" standard, retaining considerable character & charm with elevated views from its upper apartments.
The superb accommodation which is well proportioned throughout comprises, private external staircase leading to the entrance vestibule and in-turn onto reception hall, a most appealing formal bay windowed lounge, an impressive dining hall, a very stylish/well equipped dining/kitchen with open-plan living area, 4 spacious bedrooms (one presently utilised as an additional family room) together with a very stylish bathroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC - D. Generous attic storage is available. Parking is available to the front of the property whilst a private garage is also included within the sale. The aforementioned gardens invite one to potter/relax with the summer house providing a sheltered outdoor leisure space.
Travel facilities are available locally whilst for those commuting further afield, to/from Glasgow include Auchinleck railway station, approx' 1.2 miles from Kingarth House (currently an hourly service to Glasgow at peak times & 2 hourly between 1030 and 1630. Free parking is currently available at the station (train journey time to Glasgow - 1 hour).
Nearby, The Barony Campus is scheduled to be completed by June 2020 and incorporates Cherrytrees Early Learning & Childhood Centre, Lochnorris Primary School, Robert Burns Academy and Hillside Additional Support Needs School are all located on-site.

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 "

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within favoured residential locale, this desirable Detached Bungalow has been a comfortable home to its owner over many years, however it is fair to say that it does now need fully modernised hence the competitive price which allows scope for the successful purchaser to upgrade/restyle to their own specification/budget.
This particular property occupies an elevated cul de sac position comprising only 2 homes. Set amidst private gardens to the front & rear which have been tidied, however there is scope to open these up further.
Internally the accommodation extends to 5 Main Apartments which are all on-the-level, in particular… reception hall, lounge to the rear with sun room off (note “basic” condition), kitchen & separate dining room to the front, 3 bedrooms (No 2 to the front and Nos 1 & 3 to the rear) whilst the bathroom is off the reception hall. The video/virtual tour (available to view on blackhay.co.uk) helpfully gives a clear idea of the condition/potential work required, whilst the Home Report Mortgage valuation of £210,000 is for the property in its current condition. Obviously modernisation works will increase the value of the property. The property is “Sold as Seen”.
The specification includes gas central heating & double glazing. Attic storage is available. EPC – E. Mature private gardens are situated to the front & rear. A private driveway to the left leads to an attached/linked garage.
Ayr is located on the South West Coast of Scotland, its coastline location proves popular with locals & visitors alike.

In our view – No 39 Woodend Road, Alloway will appeal to those clients seeking a property which they can restyle to create their own special home, rather than paying a premium price for an already modernised property which may not be to their preferred style.
