“Westwinds”, Bellevale Avenue, Ayr – A desirable Traditional Semi Detached Home with a wonderful “Secret” …when everyone was dreaming of holidays during “lockdown” our owners were secretly relaxing on holiday during those wonderful warm/sunny/blue sky days …by their Swimming Pool! …their Dream Home could be your Dream Home!
Located within a highly regarded residential locale “Westwinds” discreetly conceals its fabulous feature swimming pool to the rear. Internal viewing reveals a most appealing home comprising 6 well proportioned Main Apartments over 2 levels, blending character with contemporary style including an exceptional “luxury” kitchen installed at considerable expense by the current owners. In particular, a welcoming reception hall, impressive lounge, separate dining room, stunning kitchen - extensively fitted with an array of integrated appliances & a cosy semi-open plan breakfasting room & separate utility room adjacent. 4 bedrooms are featured with 2 on the ground floor & 2 on the upper level – with a stylish bathroom serving each level. The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Private parking is provided to the front whilst on-street parking is also available.
Undoubtedly the external focal point is the pool/family area to the rear. The central swimming pool (heated with retractable cover) features a stylish decked surround with 3 social/seating areas inviting one to relax as if on holiday (without the poolside stress!) or enjoy social time with friends & family around the pool. The former garage now serves as an indoor social area adjacent to the pool (retreat if the rain arrives to delay the outdoor fun). A substantial high quality detached barbecue house is an optional extra (additional price to be negotiated).
In our view “Westwinds” is a desirable home without its swimming pool, however with the uncertainty ahead of holiday travel it will undoubtedly tick the boxes for those buyers who seek their Unique/Dream Home!

A “horseshoe” shaped driveway provides access to the front (shared with the Main Door Conversion) Private driveway parking to the right-hand side together with the substantial former Coach House/Stable and a delightful mature/private garden area are included as part of the sale.
Historically this impressive Traditional Red Sandstone Detached Villa was built circa 1888, subsequently acquired by current owners family in 1964, thereafter it was converted into a Main Door & Upper Conversion circa 1984 to accommodate members of the same family, however in separate homes.
The most appealing accommodation comprises, a welcoming dining style hall, an elegant and susbtantial bay windowed lounge with "eye-catching" low-drop windows, separate kitchen with breakfasting space, 3 bedrooms (2 currently used as informal public rooms) and bathroom (shower instead of bath). Also noting the inviting "hidden" conservatory nestling to the rear of the former coach house. Traditional features retained include the intricate/decorative cornicing, panelled doors with decorative detailing, the fire surround in the lounge etc.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – Tbc. Private parking is provided to the side. A substantial Detached Former Coach House/Stable (complete with the original hay-loft & charming original timber panelling) is also situated to the side – this provides secure parking/storage with a useful utility style area. In addition a most appealing “hidden” conservatory is attached to the rear, enjoying delightful private garden views. The private gardens to the rear are a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy/relax/potter when the good weather beckons, reflecting the owners keen interest in same, well established with a variety mature shrubs, flowers & fruit trees.
Kilmarnock is conveniently located approx’ mid-way between Glasgow and the sweeping Ayrshire Coastline, as a result it is particularly popular with commuters seeking easy commuting/travel (by car, train or bus) to/from Glasgow, or one can enjoy the variety of Ayrshire’s sweeping coastline including popular seaside towns of Prestwick, Troon and further afield. There are direct rail links to Glasgow, Ayr (and Dumfries) whilst bus travel is equally convenient. The A77/M77 connects with Glasgow – approx. 25 miles/30 minutes by car whilst one can also travel to the southwest of Scotland via the A77/A75. Glasgow Prestwick Airport is approx’ 10 miles. Ayrshire is notable for its famous Golf Courses.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ With 39 Years in the Property Industry and thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in different style properties & locations, including a wonderful conversion.
When I first approached Oakfield I was immediately reminded of the fine Traditional Villas & Conversions which I valued/sold in my home city of Glasgow during my near 2 decades working in Glasgow’s West End & South Side.
The family history of this wonderful home tells its own story ….a much loved Period Home which was then adapted to meet changing needs, yet it retains an immense amount of its original character & charm with the added benefits of the former coach house/garage and private garden share.
Interestingly I remember my association with Cala Homes and when they opted to build New Homes in Kilmarnock (followed by other builders) as they sought an alternative option for Commuter Buyers. Kilmarnock was perfect as it was central for either Glasgow or the Ayrshire Coast.
So, we find this fabulous home which ticks the boxes in terms of its most appealing style/character/space together with easy access to Glasgow or the Coast.
Oakfield/No 53 London Road is a wonderful opportunity for the Buyer seeking a Special Traditional “Glasgow Style” Home …however without the huge Glasgow premium!
In my view, the successful Buyer/s will be delighted when they receive their keys and become the new owners/custodians of this very Special Home ”

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.

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.

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.

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. ”
