* 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.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within popular residential locale comprising mixed style modern homes, this desirable Modern Detached Villa is of broad appeal, set amidst private gardens with the added benefit of a conservatory to the rear and valued integral garage to the front which allows the accommodation to be extended within the existing “footprint” by converting the garage – subject to required planning permission etc being obtained (a considerable saving on having to pay for an extension to be built).
An easily maintained home for its owners over a brief period as they are relocating, the property will be of broad appeal, though particularly as a family home, competitively priced to allow the successful purchaser to restyle to their own specification.
The well-proportioned accommodation comprises on ground floor, reception hall, spacious lounge with open-plan dining room to the rear – patio door from here onto the enclosed rear patio/gardens, separate kitchen with twin patio style doors onto the conservatory which provides additional living space, a useful utility room off the kitchen also provides integral access to the garage .

Troon, on South Ayrshire’s coastline, is a highly favoured "Seaside Town" with its sweeping seafront/promenade, also notable for its world renowned golf courses (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 whilst being only approx’ 35 minutes commute by car from Glasgow City Centre (both train & bus services aid those commuting). The property is conveniently located for access into the town centre with its broad array of shopping, restaurants/bars & amenities, whilst both the A77/A79 are easily accessible by car.

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.

A charming Traditional Sandstone “Chalet Style” Semi Villa set amidst picturesque gardens, particularly private to the rear. Featuring 5 Main Apartments over 2 levels which offer flexibility of use.
A comfortable home to its current owner over many years, the property is neatly presented, retaining valued character. The property has been maintained, however the successful purchaser may choose to modernise to their own specification/budget, hence the competitive price allows scope for such works – noting the Home Report Mortgage Valuation of £265,000 (for the property in its current condition). There is further development potential, particularly to the rear due to the size of the gardens (subject to required planning permission etc)
The excellent accommodation comprises on ground floor, reception hall, spacious bay windowed lounge to the front, separate dining/family room with kitchen on lower level to the rear. On the upper level, 3 bedrooms (2 double and 1 single) whilst a stylish modern bathroom is situated off the half-level landing.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – D. The picturesque private gardens to the rear are of larger size, reflecting the owner’s keen interest in same, encouraging one to potter or relax outdoors when the good weather beckons. As aforementioned, the extended rear garden area perhaps offers further development potential to the rear of the property. A private driveway to the front of the house provides off-street parking whilst on-street parking is also available.
Ayr is located on the South West Coast of Scotland, its coastline location proves popular with locals & visitors alike. A wide array of local amenities are accessible whilst the A77/A79 provides links north or south. Public transport including regular train/bus services from Ayr are available whilst Prestwick Airport is within easy travelling distance. Ayr/Alloway has an excellent choice of well regarded schooling including the favoured Alloway Primary School whilst private schooling is available via Wellington School. Ayrshire is famed for its Golf Courses, historical connection with “the Poet” Robert Burns and many worthy historical attractions …and of course its sweeping seafront.
The appeal of traditional homes is often the combination of character, well proportioned apartments and perhaps a larger plot/garden (rather than modern build homes which are usually tightly packed together) – No 12 Maybole Road ticks all those boxes and clearly offers excellent potential for the successful purchaser to create their own special home.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable 4 Bedroom Modern Detached Villa, adjacent to railway line, enjoying elevated golf course views to rear with the sea/coastline on the horizon. One of a small number of similar style homes built on Douglas Avenue, Prestwick. Of particular appeal to those seeking a detached home in a favoured locale, convenient for walking to Prestwick’s sweeping promenade seafront.
Competitively priced to allow scope for the successful purchaser to refresh the property internally, noting that the conservatory to the side has suffered some minor movement. A Structural Engineer’s Report (packaged to view along with the pdf Home Report, available only by visiting our blackhay.co.uk website – we do not send this via rightmove) confirms the house itself is unaffected by the conservatory which was believed to have been added after the property was built. It seems likely the issue is related to the foundation of the conservatory however it is considered of “No Value” with regard to the Home Report mortgage valuation of £260,000 and the property is “Sold as Seen”.
Internal viewing reveals a well proportioned modern style home featuring 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, the ground floor comprising, most welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with semi-open plan dining to rear, separate breakfasting/kitchen with rear vestibule off and door/stairs leading down to the rear pathway. On the upper level, 4 bedrooms are provided, providing flexible accommodation for a growing family or additional home working/leisure space if a non-family buyer – noting the pleasingly elevated golf course views (over the railway line) from the rear facing apartments. The main bathroom is also on the upper level.
Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. Attic storage is available. EPC – D. Noting the site of the property is elevated/slopes downhill, therefore the front garden area is level with the roadway and is attractively landscaped, the rear garden is non-existent other than a paved pathway which runs along the rear of the property allowing full access around the property. A sloping private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage which currently provides secure parking/storage. There are different options available perhaps to create more garden, perhaps removing the garage and creating a decked/patio style area (as on-street parking adjacent to the property is generally available) however the successful buyers will no doubt have their own thoughts.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire’s “property hotspot”, with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the delightful/sweeping promenade & seafront are within walking distance. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. Of broad appeal, valued locally by family buyers in particular, together with couples & retired/semi-retired clients, whilst further afield of interest to Glasgow based buyers/those relocating from South of the Border, seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside ...and a better work/life balance.
In our view… a superb opportunity to acquire a desirable Detached Home, particularly suited to those seeking value for money and the opportunity to create their own stylish home.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A wonderful opportunity for those yearning to immerse themselves in “Country Living”, this Charming Detached Cottage Style Bungalow enjoys a truly picturesque setting with countryside unfolding in all directions. “Little Camlarg” was originally the site of the former Shepherd’s Cottage for Craigengillan Estate, replaced circa 1970’s with the Cottage Style Bungalow that awaits its lucky new owner.
Entering through its private driveway the Cottage nestles almost magically with a babbling burn curving around the outer edges of its delightful partially wooded main gardens, a bridge beckoning one to cross by vehicle or foot …prepare to utter the word… “Wow” …because it is. Beyond the cottage and main garden (circa 2 acres), an additional circa 14 acres of rough grazing/land invites one to ponder their options or simply enjoy the additional space/extended views that it provides, noting that a separate/private access is also available to the additional land (at the far end, off the main road).
Little Camlarg is approx' 1 mile east on the B741 from Dalmellington Village which is part of the renowned “Dark Sky Park” which provides a dazzling starscape on clear nights that town/city dwellers never experience. Turn right (signposted) into the shared driveway, pass a Detached Bungalow at driveway entrance), travel a short distance to be met by a farm gate through which one enters the property.
The current owners have upgraded the property during their period of ownership and it is fair to say that they are very reluctant sellers, only moving to accommodate the needs of their daughter.
The comfortable accommodation which enjoys panoramic views comprises, reception hall, spacious lounge with patio doors, open-plan kitchen adjacent, 3 bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The specification includes both central heating (renewed & powered from the multi-fuel fire, plus back-up immersion heater) & double glazing. EPC – D. There is a private septic tank within the boundaries of the property (renewed), mains water & electricity are provided. There is an abundance of parking space within the garden grounds.

Little Camlarg… simply Wow! What a lucky buyer will surely say, especially the day they arrive with the keys proudly in their hands, because they bought it! “
