This desirable home enjoys a very convenient town centre location with easy access to a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport whilst Ayr’s sweeping promenade/seafront is within eyesight/a short walk - noting the elevated views from the attic apartment, across the rooftops with the coastline stretching out along the horizon.
The current owner has undertaken refurbishment works over an extended period of time, gradually nearing completion, with the extensive attic level a particular focal point - formally converted with the necessary planning permission etc. Some minor works are required however the competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to finalise the interior to suit their own style/budget (noting the positive Home Report mortgage valuation of £220,000).

The garden level flat & a mews-style single storey building to the rear are under separate ownership and not offered for sale.

The main staircase from the reception leads to the first floor hallway which features 3 bedrooms together with a larger style 4 piece bathroom. A discreetly positioned and well constructed staircase nestles just off the upper hallway, rising to the attic level which is available as a very substantial/private 4th bedroom or available for use as a 3rd public room - currently an open-plan living/family/cinema room.
The specification includes both gas central heating. EPC – D.

A Charming Traditional Detached Cottage delightfully set amidst circa 0.3 acre of private mature gardens, surrounded by picturesque open Ayrshire Countryside & adjacent woodland.
This splendid home has been sympathetically extended to preserve its existing external character whilst internal viewing reveals a home full of character and one which has been enjoyed over several decades by the current owners.
The accommodation comprises 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels with the ground floor featuring a most welcoming reception hall, an impressive and larger proportioned formal lounge displaying considerable character & charm, adjacent a separate dining or living room, a useful study, the “Galley” style kitchen offers space for a small breakfasting table/chairs, a “downstairs” wc. An attractive part panelled staircase leads to a larger size upper hallway albeit all apartments on this level have coombed ceilings as a result of the traditional roofline being retained – 3 bedrooms are provided with 1 double, 1 single and a smaller box-room style single whilst the upper bathroom serves these apartments.
The specification includes oil central heating & double glazing. Mains water, electricity and drainage is via a septic tank. A security alarm system is provided. EPC - E. A private gated driveway leads onto a good sized parking area and provides open access to the surrounding gardens. An added benefit is the larger detached outbuilding/garage style store/workshop which invites a variety of uses. The private mature gardens feature a small natural woodland whilst views of the surrounding countryside/woodland can be enjoyed, of immense appeal
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY comments – “I live in the Galloway Countryside and perhaps I am drawn to rural/semi-rural properties however being originally from Glasgow I am also able to draw on city versus countryside living. I make this simple case... if you are not restricted to city living then embrace the countryside! Wynford, (albeit with its smaller bedrooms) has so much to offer its successful purchaser... most of all, in my view... is the opportunity of living & breathing the life of the countryside which is beating all around you. If you haven’t experienced living in the countryside... then, in my view, you haven’t really lived! I would be amazed if the New Owner is not re-invigorated by enjoying all that Wynford has to offer.”
