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. ”

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. ”
