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. “

* 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. ”

" Over the last 4 decades as a property professional I have enjoyed marketing & selling many different styles & values of property …historically Bungalows have always been popular however they are perhaps even more desirable today, especially those combining a favourable location, retaining character, featuring flexible accommodation.
No 2 Whinfield Avenue ticks all the desirable boxes and adds the undoubted attraction of being located in Prestwick with its thriving town centre and panoramic seafront/promenade … I have no doubt that Vietta will warmly welcome its New Owners who will create their own very Special Home."
