* 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.

"Atholl Lodge" - A superb opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional Sandstone Fronted Semi Villa within ever popular Prestwick, set amidst larger size gardens (requiring attention to rear) with driveway providing valued private/off-street parking.
Featuring 6 well proportioned Main Apartments over 2 levels, this particular property will appeal to those clients seeking a Character Home which they can creatively re-style to their own specification/budget.
A comfortable home to its owner over many years, it is fair to say that the property does now need modernisation, hence the competitive price which allows scope to restyle, however one can clearly envisage the excellent potential for the successful purchaser.
Naturally this traditional style of property features well proportioned accommodation, over 2 levels (3 Main Apartments on each level) comprising on the ground floor - reception hall, bay windowed lounge, separate family & dining rooms (noting the family room could be utilised as a 4th/ground floor bedroom, if required), “Galley” style kitchen with useful utility room, plus convenient “downstairs” wc off the reception hall. On the upper level, 3 bedrooms together with the main bathroom (shower instead of bath).
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. The property is set amidst mature gardens – the rear formerly a most appealing area in which to relax/potter, featuring “specimen” trees however this area will now require attention. A valued private driveway & garage provide off-street parking whilst on-street parking is available nearby. Outhouse storage (requiring attention) sits within a small courtyard just outside the kitchen area (also accessed via door from the driveway).
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 cycle/car journey. Traditional Homes, remain ever popular especially so for properties located on the seafront side of Prestwick Main Street.

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.

* NEW to Market * A wonderful opportunity to acquire a true “Seafront Home” on Prestwick’s sweeping promenade. This desirable Traditional Flat occupies most appealing “Garden Level” within a distinctively styled 3-Storey Victorian Semi Villa.
Historically the property is believed to date back to circa 1890’s, originally built as Semi Villas, subsequently converted to form individual flats. The building has been refurbished including a new roof whilst internally it benefits from a modern finish/specification.
Particular mention should be made that the Garden Flat retains private ownership of the entire lawned garden area directly in front of the property (together with the paved patio area adjacent to the side entrance) also noting the gated access (shared) on the front boundary wall opens onto the promenade allowing one to enjoy walking the seafront ...literally “a stone’s throw” away.
The neatly presented accommodation which is contemporary in style is accessed via a garden level private main door to the side of No 20. Featuring 3 Main Apartments, comprising entrance hallway which opens onto the lounge, a secondary central hallway which provides access to the 2 double bedrooms which overlook the front garden (one of which could be utilised as an alternative main or 2nd public room) with sea/Isle of Arran views on the skyline just beyond the boundary wall (the view is more visible when one is sitting outdoors), the dining style kitchen and bathroom are both located to the rear.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing EPC – C. Private car parking is available within the communal rear facing driveway (the access is easily missed, off Marina Road) - an allocated space to the left is provided adjacent to the property. On-street parking is also available. The property is self-factored with costs communally shared between residents (3).
Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre, excellent variety of amenities and its sought after 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 – with no seafront views!) …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 a true seafront home.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“As I celebrate 40 Years in the property industry it is clear to me that every home is special in its own way to its owner/s …however I confess to perhaps having a soft-spot for Traditional Homes as they illustrate through their longer history that we are merely custodians of the home that we own …until the next person moves in …however, what joy that home can bring to each & every owner.
Seafront Homes have an almost magical appeal as the seascape is one that can literally change by the minute versus a countryside view that changes gradually through the seasons.
Prestwick Promenade beckons one to stroll, exercise, relax, walk the sands, take in the views & sea air, to contemplate the joy of living by-the-sea …and with No 20, you walk through your garden, open the gate …and it is there for you to enjoy ...whenever you wish.
A wonderful opportunity awaits...”
