* Available to View Now * An excellent opportunity to acquire a continually sought after Traditional Detached Bungalow within favoured Seafield, a short walk from Ayr’s sweeping promenade/seafront. A comfortable home to its owners over many years, it is fair to say the property would benefit from modernisation, however the competitive price reflects its “dated” condition whilst allowing scope for the successful purchaser to re-style to their own specification/budget.
The property/gardens are both neatly presented and one can appreciate that the owners have maintained the property to a good standard. Of particular appeal to some buyers, the undeveloped attic which offers further potential to create additional accommodation – subject to acquiring the necessary planning permission etc.
The accommodation is all on-the-level, comprising 4 Main Apartments which offer flexibility of use – either as 2 public/2 bedrooms or 1 public/3 bedrooms. In particular, main door entrance to the front with vestibule onto a welcoming reception hall, most appealing lounge to the front, extended kitchen to the rear with door to garden, 3 bedrooms (1 to front/2 to rear) – one of which (No 16) has been utilised as a dining/living room, the bathroom is located off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. A good sized/partially floored attic is accessed via a concealed wooden ladder within the hall cupboard – offering the aforementioned development potential. The gardens are neatly presented with a gated driveway providing private parking whilst also leading to a basic timber garage which offers secure parking/storage. 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. 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.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ After 35 years within the property industry I have long since lost count of the number of Bungalow Homes I have sold. Long established areas like Seafield remain highly favoured and the sporadic availability of more tightly packed (...and less appealing in my opinion) New Build bungalows only enhance the appeal of traditional bungalows.
No 16 Seafield Crescent has clearly been a comfortable home over many years ….no doubt it will welcome its new owner/s who can create their own comfortable haven to enjoy into the future. ”

* 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 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.

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* “Harelaw” - An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a most desirable undeveloped Detached Bungalow – purchased from new by the owners who specifically requested at the time of the build to have the attic level undeveloped rather than the usual additional 2 bedrooms & 2nd bathroom …the successful purchasers therefore have the opportunity to create their own layout on the upper level (subject to acquiring planning permission etc), taking advantage of the huge undeveloped space available. The property is attractively set amidst mature corner gardens with the added benefit of a charming/substantial conservatory whilst the side positioned driveway (leading to the garage) provides generous private parking, accessed from Adamton Road North.
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. Bungalow Homes are much in demand, of broad appeal and valued locally by family & 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.
Internal viewing reveals a welcoming reception hall which leads onto the larger proportioned ground floor apartments, whilst a discreetly positioned internal cupboard staircase leads to the very substantial undeveloped attic area. The ground floor comprises, a dual aspect open-plan lounge/dining extending to over 26’ in length, a separate kitchen to the rear with access to a charming conservatory with patio doors onto the rear gardens, two spacious double bedrooms are featured together with the bathroom. On the upper level, the substantial attic extends to over 38’ in length with an internal central head-height of approx’ 7’ 6” – centrally floored and one can see the concealed internal window openings that were created at the time of the build on either gable end, however not used.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – C. Neatly presented private corner sited gardens surround the property, laid out for ease of maintenance to the rear whilst the front is lawned to provide visual interest with willow trees. Private parking for several vehicles is available off-street within the large driveway which in-turn leads to a detached garage which offers secure parking/storage. On-street parking is also available nearby.
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 an extremely rare Detached Bungalow with a undeveloped attic area where one can clearly see the huge potential to develop the accommodation further, rather than finding an upper layout already developed which may not be to your liking (noting planning permission will be required to develop the attic area). Harelaw is a rare find indeed! ”

* 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.

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”.
