Graeme Lumsden, Director of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
During my 4 decades within the estate agency industry I have been blessed to play a part in my clients journey’s along the property ladder, so many thousands I have lost count …from 1st-time buyer to retirement & indeed beyond.
Every so often a “magical” home appears, it may be its special character or features, the location, wonderful views or rarity …interestingly I also find that homes speak silently of their owners and the lives they have lived.
As I arrived at Glenappin, my heart was captured by the spectacular views and the comfortable accommodation which wrapped itself around me …it spoke silently & very warmly of the owners who clearly loved their home & loved their family time together, over nearly 6 decades …I thought how blessed they were to live in Glenappin.
Perhaps if they wrote a “Property Love Letter” for the New Owners of Glenappin, it may simply read… “ We loved our Home for almost 6 decades, with its spectacular setting & magical views ...and we still enjoy the wonderful memories created there. We hope you love creating your own memories. ”

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).

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.

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.

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. ”

“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!
