* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within continually sought Prestwick, this most appealing Traditional Detached Bungalow is attractively set within tree lined “avenue” of similar style bungalow homes, convenient for access to Prestwick’s thriving town centre. The property has been extended to the rear, featuring 5 good sized Main Apartments, all on-the-level, ready to “move-in”.
Neatly presented with scope for the successful purchaser to re-style at their leisure. The current floored/lined attic storage area perhaps offers potential for further development, subject to local authority planning consent etc.
Access is via the main door entrance the front with vestibule opening onto the main accommodation which comprises, a lengthy reception hall, bay windowed lounge to the front, separate modern style kitchen to the side (with external door onto the driveway), bedroom No 1 to the front whilst bedroom No 2 is located directly behind the lounge, whilst the bathroom is situated off the reception hall to the side.
The rear extension features 2/3 additional apartments comprising a dining room (with serving hatch through to the kitchen), an adjacent living/family room which could perhaps be utilised as an additional bedroom (albeit that would impact on what is the current dining room) plus a useful double glazed sun room to the rear has a further door onto the rear garden. In fairness one could envisage re-configuring the rear (subject to planning) to separate the bedroom and perhaps open-up the kitchen into the dining room, however the new owner will no doubt have their own ideas for the future layout, or simply use as per the existing format.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – E. The aforementioned attic area currently provides additional storage facilities (ladder access form the hall cupboard). Private gardens are situated to the front and rear. A private gated driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage located to the rear (remote controlled door – note driveway width is narrow, please check your specific vehicle will fit). On-street parking is also available.
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 remain ever popular, of broad appeal and valued locally by family & retired/semi retired clients alike, whilst further afield they attract Glasgow based buyers/those relocating from South of the Border, seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside.
In our view… an excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional Detached Bungalow within favoured Prestwick locale, ready to move-in. To arrange a viewing, please telephone BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS direct on 01292 283606.

Seldom available within sought after “Seafield”, this desirable Detached “Chalet Style” Villa is of broad appeal, featuring 4/5 Main Apartments over 2 levels, with the added attraction of being a short walk from Ayr's sweeping seafront/promenade.
A comfortable home to its owners over many years, it is fair to say that the successful purchaser will most likely opt to modernise to their own particular specification/budget, however the competitive price provides scope for such works.
The accommodation comprises on ground floor, entrance porch onto the reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, lounge to the front with sun room to the rear, separate kitchen, dining room also to the front - which could be utilised as a 3rd bedroom if required. On the upper level, 2 further bedrooms together with the main bathroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - E. Neatly presented private gardens are located to front & rear with the front incorporating off-street parking. 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 39 years within the property industry I have lost count of the number of Bungalow & Villas that I have sold ...however, long established areas like Seafield remain highly favoured versus the more tightly packed (...and less appealing in my opinion) styles found within New Build developments.
"Crimond" - No 48 Auchendoon 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 …and embrace those wonderful seafront walks which are only moments away. ”

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within ever popular Dundonald Village, amidst the picturesque Ayrshire Countryside yet convenient for those commuting via the A77/A78, this attractively styled Modern Detached Villa, built by O’Brien Homes, circa 2007 is set within a select development of mixed style quality homes. Visually, the contrasting brick finish/external detailing provides a pleasing contrast to the often bland style new build homes that one often sees. A superb family home with 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, alternatively flexible for those “working from home”.
The well presented accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with dual aspects to the front & rear whilst feature twin doors from here open onto the separate dining room which in-turn has patio doors leading onto the private/enclosed rear garden with feature patio area, the kitchen is accessible from the hall or dining room – extensively fitted with a stylish array of base/wall cabinets together with integrated appliances and a small breakfasting style space. An attractive staircase provides a fine centrepiece within the reception hall, this rising to the upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located. Bedroom No 1 being the “master” bedroom to the front with a very stylish en-suite whilst No 2 is also situated to the front. Bedroom Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear enjoying views across the garden/adjacent property with Dundonald Castle ruins & woodland beckoning in the distance. The main bathroom off the upper hallway serves bedroom Nos 2, 3 & 4, noting the additional “downstairs” wc.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. The EPC is C. Neatly presented private gardens are provided to the front & rear, the rear being an inviting outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days, the feature decked patio area provides an attractive outdoor dining/seating area. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached single garage which offers secure parking/storage.
Dundonald Village enjoys a favoured countryside setting yet sits centrally for access to Kilmarnock, Irvine, Troon whilst both Prestwick & Ayr are within convenient commuting range The A77/A78 provide easy commuting links with Glasgow approx. 30 mins by car. Public transport by bus is available. Amenities include a local convenience store/take away/pub/restaurant etc. The local school is Dundonald Primary.
In our view… No 1 School Wynd is perhaps a “little bit more niche” in the sense that it successfully combines its desirable 6 Main Apartment Accommodation with a much more appealing external styling, rewarding the owners with the feeling that they have bought their own special home.

No 7 The Crescent - A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 6 Main Apartment Traditional Flat which forms the entire Ground Floor of a charming Detached Red Sandstone Villa, itself within most favoured horseshoe style crescent near to Prestwick Cross. Externally the property initially appears to be a pair of Semi Detached Villas however we understand from the owners that is it believed to have been originally built as separate ground & upper flats (perhaps more visually reminiscent of a upper & lower conversion) and remaining the same style today.
Access is by way of a private driveway to the left hand side, with private main door porch entrance. The side pathway also leads to the private rear garden which extends across the rear with internal access from the kitchen. Two useful attached outhouses provide valued external storage space. We understand the entire front garden area is wholly owned by the ground floor flat (exact details/boundaries to be confirmed from the title deeds).
Entering through the private porch, the main door opens onto a lengthy reception hall with on-the-level apartments comprising, a most appealing bay windowed lounge to the front with garden/crescent views, a separate dining room to the side/rear which leads onto a modern style rear facing kitchen (door to garden), bedroom Nos 1 & 2 are located to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear, with the bathroom situated midway off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - D. Private gardens are situated to the front & rear with the rear providing much valued private outdoor space. The private driveway provides off-crescent parking.
The property was purchased by its most recent owner as both their private home & to function as a guest house which it did so until the owner latterly retired from business and lived comfortably in this substantial yet very flexible home. The competitive price allows scope for the successful purchase to modernise to their own style/budget and the 6 Main Apartments are entirely flexible, perhaps serving as a family home or for a couple looking for space to relax/entertain and perhaps work from home.
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. Traditional Style Homes remain in demand, of broad appeal and valued by local homebuyers whilst further afield this particular style of home tends to attract Glasgow based buyers who are seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance. Interestingly a similar size of traditional flat in Glasgow's West End will easily exceed £500,000 ...yet Prestwick provides that magical by-the-seaside location, with easy commuting to/from Glasgow. Homemovers relocating from South of the Border continue to seek out coastal locations/properties with the attraction of added "value for money" in relocating from south to north.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable 4 Bedroom Modern Detached Villa, adjacent to railway line, enjoying elevated golf course views to rear with the sea/coastline on the horizon. One of a small number of similar style homes built on Douglas Avenue, Prestwick. Of particular appeal to those seeking a detached home in a favoured locale, convenient for walking to Prestwick’s sweeping promenade seafront.
Competitively priced to allow scope for the successful purchaser to refresh the property internally, noting that the conservatory to the side has suffered some minor movement. A Structural Engineer’s Report (packaged to view along with the pdf Home Report, available only by visiting our blackhay.co.uk website – we do not send this via rightmove) confirms the house itself is unaffected by the conservatory which was believed to have been added after the property was built. It seems likely the issue is related to the foundation of the conservatory however it is considered of “No Value” with regard to the Home Report mortgage valuation of £260,000 and the property is “Sold as Seen”.
Internal viewing reveals a well proportioned modern style home featuring 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, the ground floor comprising, most welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with semi-open plan dining to rear, separate breakfasting/kitchen with rear vestibule off and door/stairs leading down to the rear pathway. On the upper level, 4 bedrooms are provided, providing flexible accommodation for a growing family or additional home working/leisure space if a non-family buyer – noting the pleasingly elevated golf course views (over the railway line) from the rear facing apartments. The main bathroom is also on the upper level.
Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. Attic storage is available. EPC – D. Noting the site of the property is elevated/slopes downhill, therefore the front garden area is level with the roadway and is attractively landscaped, the rear garden is non-existent other than a paved pathway which runs along the rear of the property allowing full access around the property. A sloping private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage which currently provides secure parking/storage. There are different options available perhaps to create more garden, perhaps removing the garage and creating a decked/patio style area (as on-street parking adjacent to the property is generally available) however the successful buyers will no doubt have their own thoughts.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire’s “property hotspot”, with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the delightful/sweeping promenade & seafront are within walking distance. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. Of broad appeal, valued locally by family buyers in particular, together with couples & retired/semi-retired clients, whilst further afield of interest to 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.
In our view… a superb opportunity to acquire a desirable Detached Home, particularly suited to those seeking value for money and the opportunity to create their own stylish home.
