* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A superb opportunity for the 1st-time buyer, perhaps those wishing to downsize, or the “DIY” enthusiast, this sought after brick built Semi Detached Bungalow is seldom available within this “crescent” style location with the semi-open views to the front adding to its appeal.
The competitive price (and detailed Home Report – available to view direct on our blackhay.co.uk website) signal that the property does require modernisation, however it is fairly priced to allow scope for the successful purchaser to modernise to their own specification/budget.
Set amidst elevated private lawned gardens with on-street parking lay-bys available within the “crescent”, noting that some owners have altered their front gardens to provide private/driveway parking (check with Local Authority re any required planning permission etc).
Internal viewing reveals on-the-level 3 Main Apartment accommodation, comprising… a spacious lounge to the front, 2 bedrooms – to the front & rear respectively, whilst both the kitchen (to the rear) and bathroom (off the hall) require re-fitment which is reflected, as aforementioned. Gas central heating and double glazing (requires attention/re-fitment) are featured. EPC – C. An undeveloped attic currently provides additional storage.
The property is conveniently located for access to Ayr Town Centre with its wide-ranging amenities/shopping or the nearby Heathfield Shopping Complex whilst there is a wide selection of schools. Public transport includes bus & train whilst the A77 (and onto the A79) is a short car journey, providing excellent coastal links south & north together with direct commuting to Glasgow/beyond. Prestwick Airport is located on the edge of Prestwick Town, approx. 4 miles away. Ayr’s sweeping seafront/promenade is popular with both locals & visitors alike.
In our view ….an excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Semi Bungalow which offers a real opportunity for those wishing to create their own Special Home.

Strictly offered For Sale to the Cash Buyer only. This property is NOT currently suitable for a Mortgage. Please DO NOT enquire or ask to view the property if you require a mortgage (Thank You for your co-operation in advance).
The particular property remains desirable due to its Semi Detached Bungalow style, it’s favoured Prestwick location and the opportunity it affords the knowledgeable purchaser with access to cash only funding. Owned & occupied for many decades by the same owner (circa 80 years) the property displays glimpses of its original character with the traditional panelled internal doors, picture rails and a fine fireplace with matching semi-glazed alcove cupboards in the lounge.
The photographs and “Virtual Tour” (available to view only on our blackhay.co.uk website – please ensure you view this internal tour before arranging a viewing) clearly show that the property has suffered from a lack of internal maintenance/modernisation as its owner lived through the decades. However, it undoubtedly offers the successful purchaser an opportunity to bring the property up-to-date in the usual fashion – kitchen/bathroom/electrics/windows/decor etc …with the caveat of undertaking building works to deal with the issue that appears to cast doubt over its “Suitable for Mortgage Status”. A brief “Engineers Report” summarises that external cracking suggests there may be an issue with the internal “wall ties” corroding – in essence a further inspection is recommended to confirm this and initial informal discussions with a “trusted builder” have outlined the likely works involved/potential costs. The Sellers have opted to make an “allowance” against the stated Home Report value of £120,000 (noting the Surveyor clearly highlights that value is subject to an Engineers Report stating that the potential structure issues have been resolved to a level where the property would qualify for mortgage status on normal lending terms).
So… the property is not suitable for the novice DIY’er however it remains desirable and an opportunity for a knowledgeable purchaser (as previously stated). The current accommodation comprises, reception hall, characterful bay windowed lounge, separate kitchen, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. An undeveloped attic is featured. The gardens have been tidied to an extent however will require more work.
Clearly the property is “Sold as Seen”. Cash Purchaser is the ONLY option.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “After 35 years in the property industry I have sold a myriad of property styles, from walk-in condition to derelict. This particular property doesn’t phase me, however I will not be the buyer. Understandably we are not in a position to answer speculative questions from speculative buyers.
If you are a serious Cash Buyer and wish to discuss matters with a view to making an acceptable offer then we are happy to engage. The Sellers may accept a sole offer or they may look at the option of a “Closing Date” – no decision has been made and the sale progress will be continually reviewed.
Ultimately it will solely be the buyer’s decision as to whether they proceed with their particular interest in this property. The information/opinions stated are an “overview” only and any potential buyer must satisfy themselves whether this particular property is suitable for them – it is essential that they consult in detail with their solicitor prior to making an offer for this property, noting again that only Cash Buyers will be considered and the property will be Sold as Seen with No Guarantee or Warranty whatsoever.”
To view, please telephone BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS direct on 01292 283606 (after you have viewed the “Virtual Tour” at blackhay.co.uk). Viewings will be limited in accordance with Government Covid Guidlines and proof of Cash Buyer status may be required in advance. The Home Report will be available to view here exclusively on our blackhay.co.uk website. If you wish to discuss your interest as a Cash Buyer only in this particular property (noting all the previous information re “serious buyers only”) - please get in touch with our Estate Agency Director/Valuer Graeme Lumsden on 01292 283606.
We hope you appreciate we are trying to be informative/helpful by clarifying matters in advance with regard to Cash Buyers, speculative enquiries etc.

A positive Home Report confirms a mortgage valuation of £90,000.
Entrance is via a side/main door off the driveway with a vestibule opening onto the reception hall, from here, the lounge and breakfasting style kitchen are located to the front whilst two double bedrooms are located to the rear, the modern style bathroom (bath replaced with shower cubicle) is situated to the side.
