* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Simply charming, the picturesque view from the gates, winding up the driveway, adjacent the cottage style gardens with a delightful little bridge over the burn …nestling beyond is “Rowan Burn”, a very comfortable and much loved home to its owners over many years. A cottage style Detached Bungalow, enjoying favoured locale, a short walk from the sandy beachfront of Barassie (noting Barassie Train Station is adjacent to the property). Internally the property is attractively presented, featuring 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels.
The private gardens deserve particular mention, providing a picturesque backdrop and space to potter/relax. The sweeping monobloc driveway provides generous off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage.
The accommodation comprises, entrance vestibule onto the reception hall, dining room to the front with separate lounge positioned behind (can be accessed via “French style” connecting doors), a door from the lounge open onto a useful living room which overlooks the rear gardens, the kitchen is centrally positioned to the rear with access from here to the conservatory which again overlooks the rear gardens, a double bedroom (No 3) is located to the front with the main bathroom adjacent (shower cubicle instead of bath), an additional hall/study area to the rear features the staircase which leads to the upper level where 2 further spacious bedrooms are provided (Nos 1 & 2).
The specification includes gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – D. The aforementioned gated private driveway is attractively laid out in monobloc, providing private parking for several vehicles whilst a detached single garage provides secure parking/storage. The property is set amidst charming mature private gardens with mature trees, shrubs, flower beds, front & rear lawned areas etc.
Troon, on Ayrshire's sweeping coastline, is a highly favoured "Seaside Town" with its sweeping seafront/promenade, also notable for its world renowned golf course (with the recent Open Golf Tournament having been played at Royal Troon Golf Course), also featuring its own bustling marina. Naturally Troon is of broad appeal, popular with locals and commuters alike, Glasgow Buyers particularly favouring its wonderful seafront location, only approx' 35 minutes commute by car from Glasgow City Centre (both train & bus services aid those commuting) whilst Edinburgh/East Coast Buyers favour the better weather of Troon on the West Coast. The property is very convenient for seafront/beach access and the town centre with its broad array of shopping, restaurants/bars & amenities. Both the A77/A79 are easily accessible by car. Prestwick Airport is a few miles away.
In our view… a very rare opportunity to acquire a most appealing Detached Cottage Style Bungalow which from a distance deceptively conceals its generous accommodation, all set amidst undeniably picturesque gardens …and within a short walk of the beach or indeed the train station (for those commuting). The re-location from city to seaside continues whether for those commuting or perhaps retired/looking towards retirement, Troon undoubtedly provides a very attractive option for clients to re-locate whilst local buyers continue to favour Bungalow style homes near the seafront.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within ever popular Dundonald Village, amidst the picturesque Ayrshire Countryside yet convenient for those commuting via the A77/A78, this attractively styled Modern Detached Villa, built by O’Brien Homes, circa 2007 is set within a select development of mixed style quality homes. Visually, the contrasting brick finish/external detailing provides a pleasing contrast to the often bland style new build homes that one often sees. A superb family home with 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, alternatively flexible for those “working from home”.
The well presented accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with dual aspects to the front & rear whilst feature twin doors from here open onto the separate dining room which in-turn has patio doors leading onto the private/enclosed rear garden with feature patio area, the kitchen is accessible from the hall or dining room – extensively fitted with a stylish array of base/wall cabinets together with integrated appliances and a small breakfasting style space. An attractive staircase provides a fine centrepiece within the reception hall, this rising to the upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located. Bedroom No 1 being the “master” bedroom to the front with a very stylish en-suite whilst No 2 is also situated to the front. Bedroom Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear enjoying views across the garden/adjacent property with Dundonald Castle ruins & woodland beckoning in the distance. The main bathroom off the upper hallway serves bedroom Nos 2, 3 & 4, noting the additional “downstairs” wc.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. The EPC is C. Neatly presented private gardens are provided to the front & rear, the rear being an inviting outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days, the feature decked patio area provides an attractive outdoor dining/seating area. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached single garage which offers secure parking/storage.
Dundonald Village enjoys a favoured countryside setting yet sits centrally for access to Kilmarnock, Irvine, Troon whilst both Prestwick & Ayr are within convenient commuting range The A77/A78 provide easy commuting links with Glasgow approx. 30 mins by car. Public transport by bus is available. Amenities include a local convenience store/take away/pub/restaurant etc. The local school is Dundonald Primary.
In our view… No 1 School Wynd is perhaps a “little bit more niche” in the sense that it successfully combines its desirable 6 Main Apartment Accommodation with a much more appealing external styling, rewarding the owners with the feeling that they have bought their own special home.

The development is professionally managed with the appointed factors ensuring consistent presentation/maintenance which is clearly evident as one enters the grounds of Fairfield Park.
Entry is via a communal main door security entrance which leads onto a welcoming & notably more spacious (than typical new-build developments today) residents reception hall with either stair or elevator access to the equally spacious 1st floor communal hallway, off which No 59 is accessed. Internal viewing reveals a pleasingly spacious home with the larger windows attracting both natural light & attractive views, In particular a lengthy reception hall (with good storage off & a useful additional wc) provides access onto the remaining apartments, comprising, most appealing lounge with dual aspects & a private sheltered balcony which invites one to step outdoors & relax, enjoying the attractive views across the gardens to adjacent distant properties and sea views on the horizon, a very stylish re-fitted kitchen with an extensive array of cream/gloss finish cabinets complemented by integrated appliances, a separate formal dining room which if required can easily be a 3rd bedroom, two further spacious double bedrooms are featured with fitted wardrobe storage whilst a stylish modern bathroom features white 2 piece fitments within vanity storage together with a large walk-in shower cubicle.

Ayrshire is famed for its Golf Courses, historical connection with “the Poet” Robert Burns and many worthy historical attractions.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ Notwithstanding my 35 Years in the Property Industry and the thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in quite an array of different properties/locations over the years however Fairfield Park reminds me of Luxury Style Flats in Glasgow where I happily lived for a number of years.
The external space of this development one would rarely witness today on similar New-Build Flats as the developers/builders simply cannot resist the lure of profit/more properties versus the unseen value that comes with living amidst a development that actually breathes because of the space in which it is set. Add to that a lift & the delightful near-seafront location (neither of which I had in Glasgow) that encourages one to embrace promenade walks on the best of days or wrap up for those bracing autumn/winter walks where one leans into the wind & rain yet enjoys the exhilaration that only a wild sea can deliver.
Interestingly I sold my South Facing Balcony Flat in Glasgow and moved across to a different building where there was less direct sun - I got fed up closing my curtains/blinds on the sunniest of days. Oddly it may seem, I enjoyed more time on my balcony than those owners who thought they would bask in their south facing balcony sunshine yet had to retreat indoors.
In my view, No 59 Fairfield Park is an inviting flat ready to embrace its new owners and offer them the many benefits & welcome convenience that flat living provides …and when they want to do something else, simply lock up & leave …that’s the magic of flat living! ”

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable larger proportioned 6 Main Apartment Traditional Sandstone End Terrace Villa enjoying a sought after “seafront side of Prestwick Main Street” location on Midton Road, a few minutes walk from Prestwick’s sweeping promenade/seafront. Substantial traditional homes of this style remain rare to the market and are particularly valued by family buyers and Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside.
The property retains considerable character with the spacious apartments throughout being most appealing, easily accommodating a growing family, or equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. The property has served its current owners as a comfortable home and the opportunity exists for the successful purchaser to re-style to suit their own taste/budget with the 3 level accommodation layout offering flexibility – currently utilised as 2 Public/4 Bedrooms (noting some room photos are withheld or show items stored pending the owner moving to a smaller property as this property is now too large for them).
The property occupies the favoured End position in an attractive short Traditional Terrace of similar style sandstone fronted homes, with stone chipped gardens to the front whilst the rear of the property conceals much valued private parking and neatly presented rear gardens – accessed via nearby side street/passing alongside a modern flatted development to the rear (pictured). The sweeping Prestwick promenade/seafront is a few minutes walk, encouraging one to explore/enjoy the magical attraction of Prestwick’s beach/seafront.
In particular, the excellent accommodation comprises, on ground floor, most welcoming character reception hall, formal bay windowed lounge, separate living/family room, well appointed modern dining kitchen with patio doors onto rear gardens/parking area, a potential 3rd public room nestles between the lounge & living/family rooms - offering flexibility of use, presently a bedroom (No 1), whilst a very useful "downstairs" wc/shower room is discreetly positioned off the dining/kitchen. A staircase rises from the reception hall, passing the half-level landing which features a spacious bathroom (which does require modernisation). Moving on to the upper hallway, 3 bedrooms are featured (Nos 2, 3 & 4 – only Nos 2 & 3 are pictured as No 4 is currently used for storing items).
Excellent attic storage is provided. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC – D. On-street parking is also available. Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. With Glasgow approx’ 30 miles away Prestwick properties are particularly popular with Glasgow based buyers relocating (knowing the value of these style of homes in Glasgow!) …those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow …and of course local buyers seeking to move nearer to the seafront & requiring a larger family proportioned home.
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 and value highly the magic ingredient of a near-seafront location.
This Character Home on Midton Road ticks many boxes for a wide variety of buyers – its near seafront location, plus …substantial accommodation, private parking, character/charm, being located in Prestwick which is undoubtedly a sought after & thriving coastal town.
If you are reading this and want to buy/live in Prestwick then you probably already appreciate everything this Charming Home has to offer …and no doubt you also appreciate this is indeed a wonderful opportunity. The successful buyer will surely enjoy celebrating when they collect their keys on removal day …when they can begin making their dream their reality.”

No 7 The Crescent - A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 6 Main Apartment Traditional Flat which forms the entire Ground Floor of a charming Detached Red Sandstone Villa, itself within most favoured horseshoe style crescent near to Prestwick Cross. Externally the property initially appears to be a pair of Semi Detached Villas however we understand from the owners that is it believed to have been originally built as separate ground & upper flats (perhaps more visually reminiscent of a upper & lower conversion) and remaining the same style today.
Access is by way of a private driveway to the left hand side, with private main door porch entrance. The side pathway also leads to the private rear garden which extends across the rear with internal access from the kitchen. Two useful attached outhouses provide valued external storage space. We understand the entire front garden area is wholly owned by the ground floor flat (exact details/boundaries to be confirmed from the title deeds).
Entering through the private porch, the main door opens onto a lengthy reception hall with on-the-level apartments comprising, a most appealing bay windowed lounge to the front with garden/crescent views, a separate dining room to the side/rear which leads onto a modern style rear facing kitchen (door to garden), bedroom Nos 1 & 2 are located to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear, with the bathroom situated midway off the reception hall.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - D. Private gardens are situated to the front & rear with the rear providing much valued private outdoor space. The private driveway provides off-crescent parking.
The property was purchased by its most recent owner as both their private home & to function as a guest house which it did so until the owner latterly retired from business and lived comfortably in this substantial yet very flexible home. The competitive price allows scope for the successful purchase to modernise to their own style/budget and the 6 Main Apartments are entirely flexible, perhaps serving as a family home or for a couple looking for space to relax/entertain and perhaps work from home.
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. Traditional Style Homes remain in demand, of broad appeal and valued by local homebuyers whilst further afield this particular style of home tends to attract Glasgow based buyers who are seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance. Interestingly a similar size of traditional flat in Glasgow's West End will easily exceed £500,000 ...yet Prestwick provides that magical by-the-seaside location, with easy commuting to/from Glasgow. Homemovers relocating from South of the Border continue to seek out coastal locations/properties with the attraction of added "value for money" in relocating from south to north.
