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 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 a Charming Character Home which will tick so many of the “Wish List” boxes for buyers hoping to secure their next home in the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “

*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.

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! ”

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of Black Hay Estate Agents comments…
“ Even after 38 years in the property industry I still marvel at the magic of living by the sea. The changing seascape from flat calm water through gentle ripples meandering onto the shore …to the white horses/waves racing ashore on stormy days.
For me there is a special connection, an emotion …living by the sea, which is unmatched elsewhere ...and for our owner, the sheer joy when she purchased this particular flat and during the time she has lived there speaks far beyond the monetary value …it’s a life lived in a place that brings you the sheer joy that in my view, only a seafront home can bring.
Our owner will no doubt hope that the new owner of her flat enjoys it as much as she has. ”

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.

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.
