Graeme Lumsden, Director/Value of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ Having sold thousands of homes over my 38 years within the property industry, I never underestimate the value of space, in particular the space around your home …noting that typical New Home Developments (as seen nearby) often display properties shoe-horned together as builders seek to maximise their profit versus the price paid for the land & building costs.
Refreshingly, Teallach enjoys its own space, nestling amidst its larger private gardens. It will be of particular appeal to those clients seeking a larger Modern Detached Home which can accommodate an existing/growing family or offer flexible space in which to entertain/work from home. In addition, its flexible layout allows one to re-configure the existing layout whilst the existing double garage or space to the rear offer further development/expansion potential (subject to required planning permission etc).
In my view Teallach is a home for now and the future …you won’t grow tired of having space in which to live. ”
To discuss your interest in this exceptional home please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606 or gpl@blackhay.co.uk

A rare opportunity to acquire a Traditional Town Flat amidst Edinburgh’s highly desirable “Comely Bank”, with its charming cobbled streets harking back to times past.

The well proportioned accommodation comprises, reception hall, bay windowed lounge to the front with pleasing outlook, separate dining/kitchen to the rear, two bedrooms (to the front & rear respectively) whilst the bathroom is located off the reception hall.

There is potential to develop/reconfigure the accommodation (at the new owners expense), subject to acquiring the neccessary planning permission/building warrant etc. The larger walk-in cupboard (which has been used as a small "internal" study) & adjacent hall cupboard offer the possibility of being altered/linked with the adjoining dining recess to form an additional room - perhaps an internal kitchen being formed to allow the existing kitchen to become a 3rd bedroom etc.

This superb family home has been enhanced further by its present owners with the conversion of the former double integrated garage which now forms a semi-open plan dining & family room with a useful separate study off. Bryant Homes completed this particular property circa 1999, we understand this was one of only 2 “Ailsa” Style Homes built which were believed to be the largest style at that time – with the garage conversion completed the accommodation extends to 8 Main Apartments (plus the useful small study/workroom), over 2 levels.
Deaconsbank is adjacent to Newton Mearns, connected by Deaconsbank Road, convenient for access across the south side with its wide arrange of shopping/amenities whilst the popular Mearns Cross & Silverburn Shopping Centres are easily accessible by car. The M77 is a short car journey providing convenient city centre access by car or one can use the train via the station a short distance away. A variety of local parks & golf courses are also nearby. No 7 Deaconsbank Gardens benefits from being within the Glasgow Boundaries, outwith East Renfrewshire where comparable properties would likely be assessed in a higher council tax band due to their higher purchase price. The school catchment will be Glasgow however at present if a family already has children attending East Renfrewshire Schools then they would continue doing so (potential buyers are advised to check latest school entry requirements direct with their desired school).
The flexible accommodation comprises on ground floor – reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, lounge with multi-fuel fire being a warm focal point when loaded with crackling logs, the dining & family rooms are semi-open plan with a separate small study/workroom off, the kitchen features a useful utility room adjacent, an informal living room/office with patio doors is available as a 4th public room or 5th bedroom if required.

The property features both gas central heating & double glazing. Attic & internal storage/wardrobes are available. EPC – C. Private gardens are situated to the front & rear whilst the monobloc driveway to the front provides private parking.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* Doonvale Drive, Alloway – An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Villa by well regarded Stewart Milne Homes. This particular style “The Thorntonhall” featuring ideal family accommodation of 7/8 Main Apartments, noting that this is the original specification without the integral double garage having been converted – rather than apparently similar size homes which have sacrificed the double garage to extend their accommodation. The property enjoys an attractive setting within favoured residential development of mixed style modern family/executive homes on the outskirts of Ayr, itself on the South West Coast of Scotland.
Well proportioned apartments are featured over 2 levels, easily accommodating a growing family. Larger style Detached Villas are particularly popular with local buyers looking to upsize, with Glasgow buyers who continue to re-locate from city to the coast/seaside for a more relaxed lifestyle/work balance, whilst clients re-locating from England to Scotland remain strong contenders for larger modern luxury style homes. The well proportioned apartments are laid out over 2 levels, offering flexibility as required – normally utilised as 2/3 Public & 5 Bedrooms. If required, the integral double garage also allows further expansion within the footprint of the existing property (less expensive than add-on accommodation) – subject to required planning permission etc.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable & adaptable family home, comprising on the ground floor, the reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, bay windowed lounge to the front with a separate dining room to the rear featuring connecting “French style” doors, also to the rear a semi open-plan style integrated kitchen/dining/breakfasting room (patio doors from here onto private rear gardens) with a useful separate utility room (access from here to the integral double garage).
All the bedrooms, easily accommodating a growing family, are featured on the upper level with a staircase from the reception hall leading to the upper hallway – the master bedroom (No 5) to the front with en-suite whilst bedroom No 1 (presently a large games room) is a large bedroom which could easily be utilised as a childrens living/games room or teenager’s bedroom/living room, 3 further bedrooms are located to the rear (Nos 2, 3 & 4) with bedroom No 2 featuring an en-suite. The main bathroom is also situated on the upper level.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, neatly presented/landscaped with the rear fenced for privacy providing a safe/enclosed child-friendly play area or outdoor space in which to relax on better weather days. The private driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles whilst also leading to a much-valued integral double garage which provides secure parking/storage. A wonderful Summer House is located within the rear garden allowing one to enjoy sheltered outdoor time, either to relax or entertain.
In our view… of huge appeal to those clients seeking a larger Modern Luxury Style Detached Home with the flexibility to accommodate an existing/growing family or provide more space in which to entertain/enjoy, support homeworking etc.
To discuss your interest in No 51 Doonvale Drive please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606 or gpl@blackhay.co.uk Internal Viewing is invited by contacting BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS on 01292 283606.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Seldom available within favoured Prestwick locale, convenient easy walking distance of the seafront/promenade, No 10 Douglas Avenue has been a much-loved family home over decades, with the opportunity now for a new owner to acquire their next home to take them through their future years, whether with family or not.
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).
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 Homes remain ever popular, of broad appeal and valued locally by family, professionals and retired/semi retired clients whilst further afield they attract 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.
A very comfortable home to its family over many years. 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. On the upper level a bay windowed “master” double bedroom (No 1) to the front enjoys attractive sea views on the skyline with the golf course just beyond the adjacent newer build properties, bedroom No 3 directly behind is again of spacious proportion, whilst the smaller bedroom No 2 is also situated to the front, the main bathroom is located off the upper hall to the rear.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Neatly presented mature private gardens are located to the front & rear, whilst a private gated driveway provides off-street parking and leads to a detached garage positioned to the rear. On-street parking is also available nearby.
In our view, a rare opportunity to acquire a well proportioned desirable home which invites one to ponder …whether to switch the lounge to upstairs to enjoy those fantastic elevated views, use the existing lounge as a family/dining room and the remaining rooms serve as bedrooms over 2 levels …with the undeveloped attic tweaking one’s attention as to what it could be (subject to that planning permission of course).
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.

“ 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, particularly moving from bustling city life to a coastal location that offers relaxing seafront/beach walks, encouraging one to enjoy the outdoor life.
In my view this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a Charming Character Home which will tick so many of the “Wish List” boxes for buyers hoping to secure their next home in the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “

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. ”
