* CLOSING DATE FRIDAY 4 AUGUST 2023 - NOON * Rarely available, semi-rural Detached Bungalow with substantial Detached Outbuilding, enjoying picturesque countryside views. This highly desirable property offers huge potential, noting that it requires complete renovation however the opportunities which both the Bungalow & Outbuilding offer will appeal to the buyer seeking a real opportunity to create a very special home. The Outbuilding has immense appeal whether as a substantial garage or workshop (or indeed a combination thereof), perhaps further residential development beckons however this would be subject to acquiring planning permission etc.
The property sits just off a semi-rural road on the outskirts of Crosshouse/Knockentiber, Kilmarnock with mixed style country style properties dotted along the road. Access is via a central rough driveway with the Bungalow to the left and the Outbuilding ahead to the right. Set within its own lightly bounded garden grounds with the rear backing onto wonderful open countryside.
The photos are intended to give a clear impression of the poor internal condition together with the current rooms however the potential remains clear noting the Home Report Mortgage Value of £160,000 for the property in its current condition. As anticipated the property is offered for sale “Sold as Seen” with no warranties/guarantees whatsoever.
Internal viewing of the bungalow confirms on-the-level accommodation comprising, corridor style reception hall with main door entrance from the front elevation, rectangular shaped lounge to the front with separate kitchen off whilst there is also a small breakfasting room/study located off the kitchen (door from kitchen to garden), two bedrooms are provided together with the bathroom. An undeveloped attic area is available. Electric heating is provided. Double glazing is featured. EPC - F.

As aforementioned it offers a wide variety of uses, noting some development ideas may require planning permission from the local authority.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ Every picture tells a story …No 7 Greenhill Holding has lost its way over the years and now needs to be brought into the 21st century however its potential burns very brightly.
The enthusiastic Buyer certainly needs to consider the works required however the opportunity to secure this type of property, in this semi-rural yet convenient location is exceptionally rare.
The finished project will hopefully exceed its potential and bring huge pleasure to the successful Buyer/s. Personally I would love to see the New No 7 and see if it measures up to how I imagine it could look …it’s a fabulous opportunity! “

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* A superb opportunity for the skilled “DIY’er” or those seeking a home which they can have professionally upgraded to their own style/budget …this very desirable “Attached” Traditional Red Sandstone fronted Bungalow is located within highly popular Prestwick, sought after for its vibrant town centre and proximity to the sweeping seafront/promenade.
This appealing home requires modernisation, notably offered for sale on a “Sold as Seen” basis following internal damage from a burst pipe, however the competitive price easily accommodates future refurbishment works.
Deceptive externally, internal viewing reveals 5 Main Apartments over 2 levels with the added benefit of a detached garage to the rear. The accommodation is best suited to use as 2 public (ground floor) & 3 bedrooms (on the upper level) …however one of the ground floor apartments has been utilised as an additional bedroom in the past.
Reading the Home Report reflects that the property has been left in a “shell like” state following the water damage however some considerable time has elapsed since and the property is presented dry with exposed timbers in the kitchen ceiling which was the main area of damage. The Sellers could have chosen to refurbish the property and then marketed at a substantial premium to its current price however the decision was made to offer the property for sale “as-seen” to allow the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style to their own specification/budget.
The accommodation is accessed via a side main door entrance onto the reception hall which leads onto the ground floor apartments whilst a substantial staircase leads to the upper hallway. In particular, on ground floor – bay windowed lounge, separate larger dining/family room, separate kitchen with porch off. On the upper level, 3 bedrooms – the 2 larger “dormer windowed” bedrooms to the front (Nos 1 & 2) with a smaller 3rd bedroom to the rear whilst the bathroom is located off the upper hallway.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing however please note the gas central heating system is untested/sold-as-seen. EPC – D. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, with the rear requiring attention. A lane style driveway to the rear leads to a detached garage whilst on-street parking is also available.
The Home Report notes a Mortgage Valuation for the property (in its present unrefurbished condition) of £155,000. The “Market Value” is expected to be higher. Please note once again that the property is “Sold-as-Seen” with no guarantees or warranties provided (we would advise for instance that the electrical wiring is further safety tested/inspected *replaced in areas perhaps* even although there has been considerable drying out time).
In our view, this style of home remains highly sought after by local buyers and particularly Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside. Prestwick’s thriving town centre provides an interesting mix of shopping/amenities, a welcome contrast to typical repetitive high street offerings. The A79/A77 are a short car journey away from Whinfield Road providing convenient access North & South …and of course Prestwick promenade/seafront invites one to relax by-the-sea on calm summer days or stride out on bracing autumn/winter seafront walks when one can enjoy the seaspray!
The property remains very desirable and will no doubt appeal to the enthusiastic purchaser who embraces the unique opportunity this Charming Home provides…
