* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A superb opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional Red Sandstone fronted Semi Detached Villa within admired residential locale of similar style traditional homes. An ideal family home, featuring larger proportioned accommodation extending to 5 main apartments over 2 levels, offering flexibility of use.
A comfortable home to its owners over many decades, the property retains some of its original character however it is fair to comment that it does now require upgrading. The competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to restyle to their own budget/specification, creating their own special home which they can enjoy over the coming years. The property is set amidst mature private gardens with a private driveway to the side providing off-street parking.
The main entrance opens onto a welcoming reception hall, from there access to ground floor apartments or via the bannister staircase to the upper apartments. On the ground floor – a bay windowed formal lounge to the front, directly behind is the dining/family room (or alternative 4th bedroom if required), to the rear - the kitchen with a useful “downstairs shower room/wc” off (door from kitchen to garden/driveway). On the upper level, 3 bedrooms with the "master" bedroom (No 1) being bay windowed to the front, whilst bedroom Nos 2 & 3 are situated to the front & rear respectively. The main bathroom is situated off the half-level landing on route to the upper hallway.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. Attic storage is available. EPC - F. The private gardens are well established, situated to the front and rear. A private driveway is located to the right-hand side of the property whilst on-street parking is also available.
Troon, on Ayrshire's sweeping coastline, is a highly favoured "Seaside Town" with its sweeping seafront/promenade, also notable for its world renowned golf course (with the 2024 Open Golf Tournament having been played at Royal Troon Golf Course), also featuring its own bustling marina. Naturally Troon is of broad appeal, popular with locals and commuters alike, Glasgow Buyers particularly favouring its wonderful seafront location, approx' 35 minutes commute by car from Glasgow City Centre (both train & bus services aid those commuting) whilst Edinburgh/East Coast Buyers favour the better weather of Troon on the West Coast. The property is convenient for walking to the seafront/beach and the town centre with its broad array of shopping, restaurants/bars & amenities. Both the A77/A79 are easily accessible by car. Prestwick Airport is a few miles away.
In our view… a rare opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional Semi Detached Villa with excellent potential. The re-location from city to seaside continues whether for those commuting to/from Glasgow or local buyers looking to upsize. Troon undoubtedly provides a very attractive option for clients to re-locate whilst generally buyers value homes convenient for access to the seafront.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a most appealing & substantial 8 Main Apartment Modern Detached Villa within desirable Dundonald. This superb family sized home occupies favoured corner position with attractive open country views to the rear, whilst the detached double garage/driveway is a valued additional feature. The property has been a very comfortable home to its owner over several decades with its flexible & very sizeable internal layout being adaptable to suit family or non-family use.
The well proportioned accommodation comprises 8 Main Apartments over 2 levels, currently 4 public & 4 bedrooms with the former integral double garage having been converted decades ago to provide one of the current 4 public rooms - an outstanding family/living space. In particular, the ground floor features a welcoming reception hall with staircase leading to a large upper hallway, the lounge is situated to the front whilst a separate living room & dining room are located to the rear, the aforementioned substantial family room is notable to the front with its large twin full-drop windows, the kitchen is located to the rear with a useful utility area adjacent, a useful “downstairs wc” is located off the reception hall. Moving upstairs one is met with a pleasingly larger size upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located – Nos 1 & 2 to the rear enjoy elevated country views to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the front, a useful storage/study style area is positioned to one side whilst on the other, the main bathroom. Noting the space upstairs lends itself to the addition of a 2nd bathroom/en-suite (subject to required planning permission etc) however the current owner was happy with the existing layout.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing (apart from the family room). EPC – D. The property is set amidst neatly presented private gardens, tree lined to the roadway side and open to the rear over the countryside. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a valued detached double garage (with remote door access) with the pitched roof matching the main house. On-street parking is also available.
Dundonald Village is notably home to both Dundonald & Old Auchans Castle, it is situated within easy travelling distance of Ayrshire’s sweeping coast with its famous golf courses and seafront extending north & south, approx. 4 miles from Loans/Troon with convenient access to the A77/A78. Local amenities (including local shop/restaurant/pub etc) are provided within the village centre whilst the local school is Dundonald Primary School. Prestwick Airport is approx’ 7 miles away whilst the sweeping seafront at Barassie is approx’ 3 miles away. By car to Glasgow on the A77 from nearby Symington is approx’ 29 miles.
In our view, this substantial Modern Family Home is an outstanding alternative to New Build Detached Homes which are often squeezed onto new/repetitively styled developments with accommodation/parking which simply doesn’t compare to the space/value offered by this most appealing home. The serious Buyer will find it hard, in our opinion, to resist the flexibility provided by the 8 Main Apartments featured – internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space provided.

The present owners have extensively refurbished the property at substantial expense creating the fabulous Family Home that we see with "Strathken" whilst the Attached Cottage has been carefully re-developed to provide, in this instance, the opportunity to utilise as a successful Holiday Cottage (see Visitor Book comments).
Although The Cottage has its own independent entrance/garden/kitchen etc, it is linked internally and can easily be brought back into the main accommodation creating a 6 Bedroom Home with multiple public rooms. Its flexibility will also appeal to the buyer perhaps seeking "Granny" style accommodation which combines security/independence or for those wishing to work from home or have independent "teenager" accommodation.
Internal viewing of Strathken reveals a most appealing home of 7/8 main Apartments over 2 levels which has been extensively refurbished (only requiring minor finishing). In particular the well proportioned accommodation comprises on ground floor, reception hall, attractive lounge (featuring solid fuel fire) and separate dining room, a "dream" open-plan living/dining/kitchen which is simply breathtaking and demands attention with its scale/extensive glazing/views, a useful utility room & "downstairs" wc are also provided and there is internal access to/from The Cottage (via the utility).

Dumfries & Galloway is picturesque in terms of its rolling countryside, the A75 serving as its main transport link south & north. Strathken itself By Crossmichael, and is approx' 4.5 miles from Castle Douglas which is very popular, being notable as a "Food Town" whilst the picturesque small harbour town of Kirkcudbright is particularly appealing, approx' 11 miles.
In our view an excellent opportunity to acquire a Unique Home with true flexibility.

No 23 Central Esplanade - An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a true "seafront" property. For those clients seeking their "dream home by the sea" No 23 Esplanade boldly ticks the most important box "Does the property really have a sea view?" - Yes is the clear answer!

The successful purchaser will perhaps wish to restyle to their own taste/budget however the competitive price allows scope to create your own special home with a spectacular sea view.
Generally the property is entered from the rear elevation which faces onto the easily missed Bellfield Lane, just off Marina Road however the main door entrance to the front provides instant access to Prestwick's sweeping promenade/seafront and those fabulous views. A much valued private parking space together with a double garage are included with the sale, both located to the rear, either side of the rear entrance gate.
In particular the most appealing & well proportioned accommodation comprises on ground floor, a welcoming reception hall, an impressive bay windowed lounge from which to enjoy the seafront views, a centrally positioned dining/kitchen - well equipped with integrated appliances, to the rear a most useful family/living room with patio doors serving as entrance to/from the rear garden (perhaps one could envisage a rear entrance porch being added here in the future to provide a designated rear entrance hall/porch - subject to planning permission being obtained).

Prestwick's thriving Town Centre remains a strong reason for its popularity with homeowners and visitors whilst the sweeping promenade/seafront views have a magnetic appeal. Prestwick Airport, the A79 & A77 are easily accessible whilst the popular train & bus service provide Glasgow bound commuters with easy public transport links.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" After 30 years in the property industry I still enjoy the many varied property styles and locations which I visit daily as part of my job as an estate agent.
Personally I live in the country however I have always said that if I move it would only be for a sea view. For myself, and many, many others the magic of a sea view remains its ever changing texture/colour/light - never mind the seasons or a particular month or week ….daily and almost by the minute the sea can change from mirror flat calm to gentle ripples, rhythmic waves to racing white horses galloping to the shore on stormy days. The countryside changes by the season, the sea changes by the hour.
No 23 is a superb seafront family home that can entertain on its own however adding in that magical sea view elevates its appeal immensely. Imagine what a New Home builder would price this property at if they built it today?
However in simple terms it comes down to those that seek a true seafront home and value the exceptional qualities of this location and of No 23 itself. It's a Special Home and I have no doubt that the very lucky new owners will settle down on their first evening, soak in the spectacular seafront views and realise that they are indeed living their dream!

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).
