No 4 Greystones - A superb opportunity to acquire a Prestwick Promenade/Seafront Home, enjoying fabulous panoramic coastal/sea views with the Isles of Arran & Ailsa Craig on the horizon.
Greystones was originally built, circa 1904, as a substantial Traditional Detached Sandstone Villa amidst a larger plot on the corner of Links Road/Ardayre Road with the West Elevation to the front enjoying panoramic sea views. Historically its former owners include Janie Allan (part of the successful Allan Shipping Line Family), notable for her strong involvement in the Scottish Womens Suffragette Movement which featured in the struggles of the early 20th Century.
We understand that Greystones was the subject of a Residential Conversion in the 1960's, forming what we now see - 4 2-Storey Conversions. No 4 enjoys the favoured West Elevation capturing the wonderful seascape views from both its ground & upper front facing apartments.
Undoubtedly the property will appeal to those clients seeking a seafront property, however although it does require modernisation, it offers the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style/upgrade to their own specification/budget.
The well proportioned accommodation is over 2 main levels with an undeveloped attic area perhaps offering further potential, subject to required planning permission etc. Access to the property is via a main door entrance from the promenade or shared access across the rear garden/pathway from the side (off Links Road) or the shared rear driveway (off Ardayre Road). A single garage to the rear is included together with a share of the communal rear gardens whilst the garden area directly in front facing the promenade is private to No 4.
The ground floor comprises front & rear entrance hallways, spacious lounge/dining, separate living room (potential perhaps to open this room up with the adjoining kitchen - planning permission would be required), kitchen, useful understair wc, whilst on upper level, 4 bedrooms, shower room & separate wc. A floored/lined attic storage area is accessed via loft hatch located in bedroom No 1. The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. Off & On-street parking is available.
The property is undoubtedly convenient for the adjacent sweeping promenade/seafront whilst the thriving Prestwick Town Centre provides a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport.
In our view No 4 Greystones provides the successful purchaser with a very rare opportunity to a create a wonderful seafront home. Internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both its potential & spectacular sea views.

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 a desirable 4 Main Apartment Semi Detached Bungalow in one of Prestwick’s favoured/convenient locales, a comfortable, well proportioned home from which to enjoy the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments
“ I was born in Glasgow’s West End where my estate agency career started in my early 20’s, later moving to live and work on the South Side.
West Enders didn’t traditionally move to the South Side as the River Clyde was often viewed as some sort of invisible boundary, alluding perhaps that West Enders couldn’t be South Siders and vice versa – thankfully that opinion gradually evaporated. I quickly grew to enjoy the South Side for its convenience, easy access to the City Centre and wonderful parks (particularly Pollok Country Park).
All those decades ago the popularity/high property prices of Glasgow’s West End resulted in Homebuyers seeking an alternative West End ...Shawlands gradually began to attract New Buyers, growing in popularity, evolving into the thriving/vibrant area that we see today.
Waverley Street was one of the “sought after addresses” all those years ago and it very much remains so today.
This stylish Traditional Flat will welcome its New Owners who can enjoy its spacious accommodation, character and convenient location …whether taking a short walk to enjoy the local amenities or travelling further afield – the South Side, City Centre or indeed the West End are all easily accessible.”
