Of broad appeal, particularly for those seeking to “downsize”, retired/semi-retired clients, the “professional” seeking an easily maintained home or those seeking a holiday style “bolt-hole” which they can lock & leave. This very stylish home has been extensively refurbished by the present owners at considerable expense, with their demanding specification including feature Karndean Flooring, bespoke kitchen/bathroom/wardrobe fittings by Design Studio, culminating in a “Show Home” style presentation, ready to move in and enjoy. 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! ”

Typical modern/new build homes are often located within tightly packed residential developments which can often feel claustrophobic due to the lack of amenity or garden space. Bruach House nestles within attractive larger landscaped private gardens (noting the driveway has a right of access for the owner of the field & adjacent property), sloping down from the main roadway to the level area surrounding the property. The gardens will attract those wishing to potter or indeed relax whilst a family buyer will enjoy the outdoor area which children can enjoy. The river to the rear is on a lower level and is screened by hedging/mature trees etc.

The family bathroom is situated off the upper hallway.

EPC – C. A substantial attic area offers excellent additional storage, accessed via ladder style stair within the upper study.

“ This superb Family Home will be of particular appeal to the client seeking a larger luxury-style home in a picturesque setting with space in which to relax indoors & out …rather than returning home to a typical tightly packed modern development where the builder’s focus was simply to maximise the number of homes built on the available land.
Bruach House amidst its delightful setting will welcome its owners at the end of the working day …and bring a genuine sense of contentment as there is real space in which to breathe/live. “

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.

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.

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.”

"Annfield Cottage & The Byre" - No 6 Belston Holdings - A fabulous opportunity to acquire a Unique Property comprising a superbly presented Detached Cottage Style Bungalow with stylish Annexe adjacent, both enjoying wonderful elevated views across the Ayrshire Countryside.
Belston Holdings is a small collection of 6 original homes (plus 1 New-Build), enjoying an elevated position off the A70 (which leads to Coylton & beyond) approx. 3 miles from Ayr (just a few minutes journey to the A77 which skirts the edge of Ayr Town). Historically the properties are believed to have been part of Auchincruive Estate with No 6 believed to date from circa 1930's, currently most of these individual homes have been re-styled or developed by their successive owners.
No 6 reflects the extensive input/expense over a 10 year period by its current owners with internal viewing essential to appreciate its enviable location/views, charming accommodation together with its attractive Annexe, converted from the original Stables by the owners to provide independent accommodation - clearly this offers flexibility of use for the successful purchaser whether as extended accommodation, perhaps as a self-contained "Granny" Cottage, separate Home Office literally a few steps from the main house or a Studio for those with an artistic background. Of course, there is also potential as Holiday or Letting accommodation for additional income (subject to any required permissions including any potential Mortgage Lender).
The Main Home "Annfield Cottage" is a most appealing Detached Bungalow which is deceptive when viewed externally from its rear facing approach along the country style single track road (well maintained/tarmacadam - shared ownership/maintenance), to the front the property enjoys picturesque countryside views with the wonderful larger conservatory commanding the best views. The accommodation comprises, reception hall, lounge with solid fuel stove style fire, the aforementioned conservatory which is a wonderfully inviting focal point, an open-plan dining kitchen with most useful separate utility room off, 3 comfortable bedrooms together with a stylish 4-piece bathroom.
The Annexe - "The Byre" is currently assessed as additional accommodation with its own private entrance onto the neatly presented accommodation comprising, small kitchenette, spacious lounge, separate bedroom & stylish shower room/wc.
Generally, the specification includes gas central heating in Annfield Cottage, electric heating in The Byre (The Annexe) and double glazing in both. Solar panels have been added to the Annexe. EPC - B.
Both properties feature private gated entrances with space for vehicular parking whilst a garage with very useful store is also included, attached to the Annexe.

Services include mains power, water (note the water pipework from the A70 is privately maintained, cost shared by respective owners) and gas supply whilst a private septic tank is conveniently located with the property boundaries.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" One could say that I am biased towards Country Living as that's where I have lived for many years, however rather than me telling you why No 6 Belston Holdings may well be your Dream Home I simply suggest that you view it …make your own mind up.
In my view, No 6 has many of the wonderful aspects of country living but without the 90 plus daily commute that I have from my home in Galloway. The successful purchaser will enjoy Country Living just a few minutes drive from Ayr/the A77. A Cottage Style Bungalow, an Annexe (The Byre), the very picturesque Ayrshire Countryside, a short commute to Ayr …that's just a few of its very appealing positives.
It's a Special Home and I envisage the very lucky new owners settling in on their first evening and realising that they are indeed living their dream! "
