* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within particularly favoured residential locale, amidst cul de sac of mixed style quality homes, this desirable Modern Detached Villa has been professionally extended, now featuring superb 8 Main Apartment Accommodation over 2 levels. Although of broad appeal this most appealing home is an ideal opportunity for the family buyer seeking space which can accommodate a growing family, noting that the extension can serve as independent space with its 2 apartments (a separate bedroom and small living/tv room with a stylish shower room/wc) …perhaps suiting those with a parent looking for “Granny Style” accommodation, those wishing to work from home but hoping to have space separate from the main living areas or perhaps suiting a child/teenager who requires their own living space.
A very comfortable home to its owners who thoughtfully developed the property during their almost 4 decades, adding the delightful conservatory in circa 2003 whilst the substantial extension was added circa 2014. It is fair to describe the property as 8 Apartments with the main house featuring, 2 public rooms plus the conservatory which undoubtedly extends the living accommodation together with 3 bedrooms, whilst the extension features 2 further apartments highlighted as an additional (4th) bedroom and small living/tv room (this could be a 5th bedroom if required).
The accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall, attractively presented lounge to the front with semi-open plan dining room to the rear featuring “French style” doors opening onto a charming conservatory which enjoys picturesque garden views, the separate kitchen is accessed from the dining room (door to garden from here). On the upper level, 3 bedrooms are provided – Nos 1 & 2 to the front (double & single respectively) whilst bedroom No 3 is located to the rear, of double size, enjoying elevated open views. The main bathroom is situated off the upper hallway. Access to the extension is natural yet easily missed with a doorway from the lounge opening onto an internal hallway off which a stylish shower room/wc is featured, whilst to the front a further bedroom (No 4), and to the rear a small living/tv room.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – C. Attic storage is available. The property is very neatly presented, set amidst picturesque gardens which clearly reflect the owners keen interest in same. A private monobloc driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage situated to the rear. 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. Ayr/Alloway has an excellent choice of well regarded schooling including the favoured Alloway Primary School which is literally a few minutes walk from the property whilst private schooling is available via Wellington School. 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.
In our view, an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly desirable Modern Detached Villa with a splendid larger extension being the “icing on the cake” …as the successful purchaser looking for a larger home will avoid the hassle/expense associated with extending. This most appealing home is “ready to move-in”.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Seldom available within favoured Prestwick locale, convenient easy walking distance of the seafront/promenade, No 10 Douglas Avenue has been a much-loved family home over decades, with the opportunity now for a new owner to acquire their next home to take them through their future years, whether with family or not.
An attractively styled Traditional Semi Detached Villa externally, internally featuring 5 well proportioned/flexible apartments over 2 levels with the undeveloped attic perhaps beckoning further development potential, noting similar properties nearby and their individual attic developments (subject of course to acquiring planning permission etc).
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 Homes remain ever popular, of broad appeal and valued locally by family, professionals and retired/semi retired clients whilst further afield they attract 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.
A very comfortable home to its family over many years. Internal viewing reveals a flexible layout of well proportioned accommodation comprising on ground floor, a welcoming reception hall with staircase to the side (with a useful “downstairs” wc adjacent) leading to the upper level, a most appealing formal bay windowed lounge to the front with equally spacious dining/family room directly behind – this could be a 4th bedroom, if required, whilst a separate “L-shaped Galley Style” kitchen wraps around partially to the rear with access onto the gardens from here. On the upper level a bay windowed “master” double bedroom (No 1) to the front enjoys attractive sea views on the skyline with the golf course just beyond the adjacent newer build properties, bedroom No 3 directly behind is again of spacious proportion, whilst the smaller bedroom No 2 is also situated to the front, the main bathroom is located off the upper hall to the rear.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Neatly presented mature private gardens are located to the front & rear, whilst a private gated driveway provides off-street parking and leads to a detached garage positioned to the rear. On-street parking is also available nearby.
In our view, a rare opportunity to acquire a well proportioned desirable home which invites one to ponder …whether to switch the lounge to upstairs to enjoy those fantastic elevated views, use the existing lounge as a family/dining room and the remaining rooms serve as bedrooms over 2 levels …with the undeveloped attic tweaking one’s attention as to what it could be (subject to that planning permission of course).
No doubt this Charming Home will attract interest whether in its current format or for the potential that it offers… To view, please telephone BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS direct on 01292 283606.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Soon*
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a much-loved home set amidst picturesque gardens, truly delightful to explore, extending to an expansive circa 1.3 acre. No 1 is a Charming Period Cottage believed to pre-date 1900 (it may be in the region of 200 years old although we cannot confirm this accurately), occupying the end position of Burnside Cottages, a short row of similar style cottage homes set within desirable Sundrum Estate on the outskirts of Ayr.
This delightful Character Home has been occupied by its present owner since the late 1970’s, with the owner having enhanced the energy efficiency of the property by way of insulation/solar panel heating etc whilst the expansive garden has been a much enjoyed labour of love with an emphasis on eco friendly/organic/productivity together with its undoubted attraction as a magical environment for children to explore & play hide n’ seek with the garden wildlife.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable home which is rich with character & charm, period features including fireplaces with solid fuel fires, exposed stonework, all complemented by the magical garden views hidden to the rear. The property was extended in the past, unusually it retains two separate staircases which over time reveal their convenience of use as they are situated towards either end and encourage an easier flow between the ground & upper floors.
On the ground floor, the focal point being a substantial conservatory which stretches along the rear of the cottage providing twin areas - living & dining respectively both enjoying wonderful garden views, a formal character lounge is centrally positioned whilst a very spacious dining kitchen is positioned at the gable end with functioning pantry and useful separate utility room, in addition, the bathroom, useful separate shower room/wc & bedroom No 1 which serves as the “downstairs” bedroom. On the upper level, 3 spacious bedrooms with the twin staircases/hallways providing convenient access.
The specification includes oil central heating, solar panels (currently providing additional income), double glazing. The water supply is a private connection to the cottages from Castle Drive mains supply. A private septic tank is within the boundaries of the cottage. EPC – D.
The property enjoys a favoured corner site just off Castle Drive, at a crossroads adjacent to the partly visible Residential Caravan Site. The expansive garden grounds are heavily screened for added privacy, with formal/informal areas, a well established woodland and a small burn running through a lower section of the garden. A detached triple garage block on the corner of the garden boundary provides both private/secure parking & storage with a floored/lined area together with useful utility.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ There is so much I could write with regards to this unique character home, its wonderful expansive gardens and its enthusiastic owner who clearly adores and has adored her home & garden over the years …however, it’s the viewing of this magical home & garden which replaces the written word.
I found it genuinely magical and I have no doubt that the successful buyer will be over-the-moon when they collect their keys on removal day and open the door for the 1st time …it’s the day that the dream becomes a wonderful reality. ”

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a most desirable Extended Semi Detached Villa within easily missed crescent just off Broompark Avenue. Of broad appeal, although likely to be of particular interest to family buyers, this well presented home offers flexible 6 Main Apartment Accommodation over 2 levels, having been extended to the rear to form an open-plan dining room to the kitchen and a useful 4th bedroom which can be a cosy tv room/home office etc, if required.
Although tucked quietly away the property is very convenient for access to Prestwick’s thriving town centre and excellent local schools, both within walking distance. 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 appreciate the appeal of Prestwick together with its sweeping seafront.
The accommodation on ground floor comprises, welcoming reception hall, most appealing lounge to the front with views over the crescent, stylish kitchen to the rear with open-plan dining room featuring patio doors, the 4th bedroom is positioned at the rear of the hallway offering flexibility of use whilst a very useful “downstairs” shower/wc is positioned understairs. On the upper level, 3 further bedrooms served by a stylish main bathroom.
Attic storage is available. Both gas central heating and double glazing are featured. EPC – C. A driveway (shared with adjacent property) leads to a superb lengthy detached garage which provides secure parking and additional outhouse storage. Private gardens are situated to the front and rear, the front enjoying attractive views across the crescent whilst the rear enclosed for privacy with broad feature decked patio overlooking the lawn.
In our view, this style of property is genuinely rarer to the market with owners often residents for longer because of the favoured locale and convenience for access to the town centre etc. This extended Semi Villa can accommodate the growing family or indeed those seeking a better work/home balance with the 4th bedroom able to provide separate “office space”.

Enjoying a truly picturesque setting within the village of Ballantrae on the South West Coast of Scotland (on the A77, approx. 18 miles south of Turnberry), this absolutely charming Detached Home is believed to have been commissioned circa 1902 as a Shooting Lodge for its original owner. Parkend House is set amidst enchanting private gardens, extending to circa 0.5 acre, with truly breathtaking panoramic sea views from both the house & gardens whilst its rear boundary has a private gated entrance onto Ballantrae Beach.
Parkend House has a simple yet very appealing external style whilst internally it displays a rich mix of period features, in particular extensive traditional timber finishes which naturally enhance the inviting accommodation which extends to 5 Main Apartments over two levels. The current owners have very thoughtfully modernised certain aspects of the property at considerable expense ensuring that it offers the positive features of modern living although they have taken great care to ensure the wonderful character & charm still captures the attention of those lucky enough to be invited to visit.
A subtle main door entrance features a period door, retaining a delightful display stained/leaded panel, opening onto a most welcoming reception hall which visually confirms that this is indeed a special period home, from here to the front, a charming formal lounge with triple window formation and wonderful period fireplace with multi-fuel stove fire, the corner sited dual aspect dining room is outstanding with extensive quality timber finishes including striking mahogany fitted display cabinets either side of a stylish period fireplace/surround which features delicate inlay/marquetry.
Short corridor halls either from the reception hall or conveniently from the lounge lead onto a delightful cottage style breakfasting kitchen which reflects the owners desire to ensure that the re-fitted areas complement the surrounding apartments – a Rayburn and Range style cooker are focal points either side whilst a superbly finished larger size utility room is conveniently located off with access from here onto the rear gardens – windows within both the breakfasting kitchen and utility room capture wonderful garden views.
An impressive period staircase from the reception hall subtly leads to an equally impressive upper hallway, both areas displaying wonderful natural period timber finishes, whilst passing at half-level a charming period style bathroom. The three bedrooms are laid out as follows – bedroom Nos 1 & 2 to the front and bedroom No 3 to the rear, whilst a very useful shower room/wc provides additional facilities. Bedroom No 1 is the charming larger proportioned “master” bedroom with dual aspects whilst bedroom No 2 occupies the corner site above the dining room and again features dual aspects. Bedroom No 3 offers a cottage style appeal with spectacular sweeping garden/sea views to the rear.
The main bathroom, situated to the rear, is of wonderful period style and invites one to gaze out of the rear window to enjoy the spectacular views. The shower room/wc off the upper hallway cleverly combines the twist of a stylish modern larger shower cubicle with a quality period style wc and wash-hand basin.
LPG central heating and LPG cooking are featured together with a multi-fuel and real fire in the lounge & dining room respectively whilst some of the upper bedrooms feature period fireplaces (not tested).
Parkend House is set amidst wonderfully appealing established gardens grounds extending to circa 0.5 acre, further developed with considerable effort by the present owners, now presented as an inviting outdoor area in which to spend time gardening, relaxing when the weather invites one to spend time outside …. and an area in which to appreciate the wonderful sound of the waves/tide rolling onto Ballentrae Beach, which is literally just beyond the rear boundary with a private gated access leading thereto.
The sweeping private driveway leads through a gated entrance onto the rear patio/garden area which features substantial detached traditional outbuildings believed to be a former coach house and stables with gardener’s style toilet/shower room and further areas which have been previously utilised as small kennels, office, wood store etc. In addition a 2-berth residential caravan is discreetly positioned to the rear of the garden and is ideal guest/overflow or fun grandchildren accommodation, if required. The rear gardens also feature a gazebo style summerhouse, a former chicken shed which serves as an excellent garden store/greenhouse and a greenhouse.
Graeme Lumsden, Director of Black Hay Estate Agents comments – “ I am often asked what is the best property that I have seen or sold….. that is such a difficult question to answer. The wonderful thing about property is that everyone has a different opinion as to what is their best property, understandably we all have different requirements. So I would phrase the question thus – What would be your Dream House?......... and the answer from me, with over 25 years of selling all types of properties………. Parkend House in Ballantrae.
For me this is a very, very special home, a dream home….. it has a simple yet very appealing external style whilst internally its period character & charm unfolds as you walk from room to room, the extensive use of high quality natural timber finishes and features which have been retained over circa 110 years subtly capture your attention, their quality shines as radiantly today as I’m sure they did when James Ferguson (the original owner) first crossed the threshold.
The current owners searched across Scotland looking for a special home with no particular restriction on location however their new home had to be very special, perhaps unique, almost a dream home….. in my opinion they found a magical home. It is clearly evident on viewing that the current owners appreciated their role as custodians of Parkend House with their careful and very throughtful approach to modernising certain aspects of the property whilst ensuring that its characterful heart remained beating warmly.
I occasionally remark that a particular property would be a joy to come home to……. for me and for those seeking a truly special home……… arrive at Parkend House on the best of sunny days, listen to the waves rippling onto the beach…. and that is just as you await the front door opening…… enter and there is a high probability that you may not want to leave………. I didn’t…….. it captured my heart and it will be very lucky new owners that become the custodians of this magical home! “

The property occupies the favoured End position in an attractive short Traditional Terrace of similar style sandstone fronted homes, with stone chipped gardens to the front whilst the rear of the property conceals much valued private parking and neatly presented rear gardens – accessed via nearby side street/passing alongside a modern flatted development to the rear (pictured).

Excellent attic storage is provided. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC – D. On-street parking is also available. 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 near-seafront location.
This Character Home on Midton Road ticks many boxes for a wide variety of buyers – its near seafront location, plus …substantial accommodation, private parking, character/charm, being located in Prestwick which is undoubtedly a sought after & thriving coastal town.
If you are reading this and want to buy/live in Prestwick then you probably already appreciate everything this Charming Home has to offer …and no doubt you also appreciate this is indeed a wonderful opportunity.

* 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.

* 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. To discuss your interest in this particular property, which is “Sold as Seen”, please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale - 01292 283606.
