Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer with BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments… “ Even with my family connection to the Mull of Kintyre & 35 Years in the Property Industry I still marvel of the thought of living by or near the sea. In my view, this is a truly fabulous opportunity to acquire a most desirable near-seafront home which positively encourages one to embrace “seaside living” and make the most of walking the promenade with its panoramic sea views …whether on the flat-calm days where the waves just gently ripple ashore or wild winter days when the “white horses” race off the sea to douse walkers with sea spray! Living by the sea brings its own unique visual entertainment. It’s a lucky New Owner that will receive the keys to this Charming Home. ”

No 4 Greystones - A superb opportunity to acquire a Prestwick Promenade/Seafront Home, enjoying fabulous panoramic coastal/sea views with the Isles of Arran & Ailsa Craig on the horizon.
Greystones was originally built, circa 1904, as a substantial Traditional Detached Sandstone Villa amidst a larger plot on the corner of Links Road/Ardayre Road with the West Elevation to the front enjoying panoramic sea views. Historically its former owners include Janie Allan (part of the successful Allan Shipping Line Family), notable for her strong involvement in the Scottish Womens Suffragette Movement which featured in the struggles of the early 20th Century.
We understand that Greystones was the subject of a Residential Conversion in the 1960's, forming what we now see - 4 2-Storey Conversions. No 4 enjoys the favoured West Elevation capturing the wonderful seascape views from both its ground & upper front facing apartments.
Undoubtedly the property will appeal to those clients seeking a seafront property, however although it does require modernisation, it offers the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style/upgrade to their own specification/budget.
The well proportioned accommodation is over 2 main levels with an undeveloped attic area perhaps offering further potential, subject to required planning permission etc. Access to the property is via a main door entrance from the promenade or shared access across the rear garden/pathway from the side (off Links Road) or the shared rear driveway (off Ardayre Road). A single garage to the rear is included together with a share of the communal rear gardens whilst the garden area directly in front facing the promenade is private to No 4.
The ground floor comprises front & rear entrance hallways, spacious lounge/dining, separate living room (potential perhaps to open this room up with the adjoining kitchen - planning permission would be required), kitchen, useful understair wc, whilst on upper level, 4 bedrooms, shower room & separate wc. A floored/lined attic storage area is accessed via loft hatch located in bedroom No 1. The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. Off & On-street parking is available.
The property is undoubtedly convenient for the adjacent sweeping promenade/seafront whilst the thriving Prestwick Town Centre provides a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport.
In our view No 4 Greystones provides the successful purchaser with a very rare opportunity to a create a wonderful seafront home. Internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both its potential & spectacular sea views.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * “ HILLVIEW ” – Enjoying elevated distant hill views from its favoured Gardenrose Path position on the “highside” of Maybole, this larger Detached Bungalow offers a fabulous opportunity for those clients seeking a “blank canvas” from which they can create their own special home.
It is fair to say that latterly the focus was on the function of the property rather than whether it was styled internally to whatever current “interior trend” was popular …however, there is clearly scope financially for the successful purchaser to re-style to their own specification/budget and no doubt increase the underlying value of the property.
Easily missed behind its conifer fronted boundary, the property is attractively set amidst mature gardens with the large driveway accommodating multiple cars whilst those that favour the fun/opportunity that a large garage provides for “tinkering” will absolutely appreciate the circa 33’ plus long garage with similar length annex adjacent …one can imagine the sheer happiness of having such a large area of sheltered workshop/storage space.
Internal viewing reveals the well proportioned/flexible 4 Main Apartment accommodation of the ground floor whilst a very substantial floored/lined attic area currently provides spectacular storage space with potential for further development, subject to any local authority required permissions etc.
In particular, the central main door to the front opens onto the entrance vestibule (with its useful double storage cupboards either side), from here onto the welcoming reception hall, a large box-bay windowed lounge to the front (with multi fuel stove fire – also partially linked to the heating system), also to the front on the opposite side is a separate box-bay windowed family/living (or dining) room with concealed stairway leading to the attic area, 2 double bedrooms are located to the rear with bedroom No 2 having a patio door opening onto a sun room area (noting that this is “tired” and needs attention), a modern style kitchen is located to the rear however one expects that this and the adjacent utility room will likely be modernised by the successful purchaser, the bathroom is situated to the side of the reception hall. On the upper level, the aforementioned attic area is very substantial and will no doubt create all sorts of “ideas” as to its potential.
The specification includes double glazing and a non-working system of gas central heating which is sold-as-seen (due to the boiler being uneconomical to repair, plus its location may be moved by the successful purchaser as part of any “modernisation” plans). EPC – E. The aforementioned tandem style double garage (lovingly built by the owner & with remote control door – note the internal timberwork construction detail …and it has an “inspection pit”) with adjoining annex are undoubtedly valuable additions whilst the expansive driveway offers excellent private/off-street parking. The gardens are mature with a mixture of lawned areas, well established “screening” and a feature timber deck area to the rear. On-street parking is also available.
Maybole has recently benefitted from the opening of the A77 Bypass which removed the heavy flow (at times) of traffic moving through the "town" centre. It is approx' 9 miles (15 - 20 mins) by car to Ayr. The A77 provides a convenient major road link north or south whilst the popular Galloway Forest/Dark Sky Park is approx' 10 miles away, the A75 from Girvan to Stranraer is approx' 13 miles away. This particular property benefits from elevated distant hill views whilst it is notably within a short walk of the mainline train station which enabls easy commuting via public transport, there is also a bus service.
In our view…Hillview is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a very desirable Detached Bungalow that “radiates” potential …a Character Home to its current owners …now awaiting its New Owners taking it forward & creating their own Special Home.
