* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * “Courtfield”, Prestwick. A rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable well proportioned Traditional Part Red Sandstone Semi Detached Villa enjoying a sought after position tucked within Oswald Drive, easily missed, a short walk from Prestwick Cross/Town Centre. Traditional homes of this style remain rare to the market and are particularly valued by family buyers and Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside.
This Charming Home, acquired by its owners in the early 1980’s has been much loved, featuring an abundance of timber finishes, these having been a particular passion of the owners who spent considerable time & care re-storing them. “Courtfield” retains immense character with original features like the aforementioned timber finishes, delightful period stained/leaded glazed window panels and doors/handles all enhancing its appeal. The well proportioned accommodation easily serves a growing family, or is equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. Having served its current owners as a comfortable family home the opportunity now exists for the successful purchaser to re-style elements (the kitchen & bathrooms being most likely) to suit their own taste/budget.
The property stands discretely in Oswald Drive, with a private driveway/parking area & attached garage (purchasers always advised to check in advance that their car will fit any garage). To the rear, easily maintained paved patio style gardens in which to relax or let children play securely, also featuring display flower/shrub beds, twin greenhouses and a most welcome timber finish summerhouse providing a shaded or sheltered outdoor retreat. Preswick’s sweeping promenade is approx. 5 minutes walk, encouraging one to explore/enjoy the magical attraction of its expansive beach/seafront.
In particular the accommodation comprises, on ground floor, fine character reception hall (small cloakroom off), charming formal bay windowed lounge to the front, separate dining/family room to the rear with a useful semi-open plan sun lounge leading directly onto the rear patio gardens, smaller kitchen with potential to develop further perhaps (subject to required planning permission etc), a short hallway from here leads either to a useful downstairs wc or the rear door which opens onto a lean-to glazed entrance/exit porch to the garden. A striking timber finish staircase rises from the reception hall to the upper hallway where 3 bedrooms are featured including the bay windowed “master” bedroom (No 1) to the front, whilst a larger size bathroom (shower & bath featured) is also provided on this level.
Excellent attic storage is provided, accessed via concertina ladder from the upper hallway. Gas central heating is featured. EPC – D. Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. With Glasgow approx’ 30 miles away Prestwick properties are particularly popular with Glasgow based buyers relocating (knowing the value of these style of homes in Glasgow!) …those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow …and of course local buyers seeking to move nearer to the seafront & requiring a larger family proportioned home.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ 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 and value highly the magic ingredient of a coastal town location.
Courtfield ticks so many boxes for a wide variety of buyers – its desirable location, well proportioned accommodation, private parking, character/charm, location in thriving Prestwick Town. The serious buyer looking for a larger home in Prestwick will no doubt be aware that this is indeed a wonderful opportunity. Courtfield has clearly been a much-loved home …and the successful buyers will surely enjoy celebrating when they collect their keys on removal day.”

Rarely available within desirable edge of Town Centre locale, "ARCH COTTAGE" .... a Charming Detached Chalet Style Bungalow nestling in Bellevue Lane (just off Bellevue Crescent), enjoying the much valued benefit of its own private gated driveway for convenient parking & a detached garage.
ARCH COTTAGE has been a happy home for its present owners over a number of years with its convenient/flexible 6 Main Apartment Accommodation featured over 2 levels, currently comprising 3 public rooms on the ground floor with 3 bedrooms on the upper floor. In addition a good sized breakfasting kitchen with separate/useful utility room (wc off) is located to the rear of the ground floor, whilst the main bathroom and an en-suite (off the "master" bedroom - No 1) are situated on the upper level.
Externally an easily maintained/neatly presented garden/amenity area is featured with a very private enclosed lawned garden being most inviting, whilst monobloc/paving form the remaining area. A sheltered patio area is accessed just off the family room.
The "Bellevue" area is well established with a fine array/mix of traditional period homes whilst ARCH COTTAGE blends in well with its "Cottage" (albeit modern) style.
In our opinion this is indeed the classic "rare opportunity" to acquire a very desirable Detached 6 Apartment Home in an undoubtedly favoured/convenient locale. It benefits from its easily missed position nestling in Bellevue Lane and its modern build brings an easier level of maintenance and more time to enjoy its Cottage Style character. The Home Report is positive with a mortgage value in excess of the asking price.
Viewing available strictly by private appointment only - To View, please telephone BLACK HAY Estate Agents on 01292 283606 (outwith Office Hours, our Call Centre is available 7 Days a week on 0131 513 9477).

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Tucked quietly behind Troon’s revered South Beach, this highly desirable Detached Bungalow nestles in South Beach Lane, adjacent to St Ninians Church. Easily missed with its discreet timber gate access from the lane whilst a private driveway provides valued off-lane parking and leads to an attached tandem garage. This charming home is deceptive externally, internal viewing revealing spacious accommodation over 2 levels …all attractively set within private gardens.
The accommodation comprises on ground floor, entrance vestibule which leads onto the dining style hall, larger size formal lounge to the front with patio doors, moving rearwards – a breakfasting style kitchen, “master” bedroom (No 1) with inviting conservatory off, main bathroom with modern style fitments (shower cubicle instead of bath), useful utility room. A staircase from the dining hall leads to the upper hallway which leads to very spacious additional bedrooms – Nos 2 & 3 to the front & rear respectively with No 2 featuring excellent fitted wardrobe storage adjacent to the en-suite which provides independent shower/wc facilities on the upper level.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC – D. The property is set amidst mature private gardens, walled for privacy with gated access either from the lane or the private driveway.

Troon, on Ayrshire's sweeping coastline, is a highly favoured "Seaside Town" with its sweeping seafront/promenade, also notable for its world renowned golf course (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, only approx' 35 minutes commute by car from Glasgow City Centre (both train & bus services aid those commuting) whilst Edinburgh/East Coast Buyers favour the better weather of Troon on the West Coast. The property is very convenient for seafront/beach access and the town centre with its broad array of shopping, restaurants/bars & amenities. Both the A77/A79 are easily accessible by car.

Although of broad appeal this most appealing home is an ideal opportunity for the family buyer seeking space which can accommodate a growing family, noting that the extension can serve as independent space with its 2 apartments (a separate bedroom and small living/tv room with a stylish shower room/wc) …perhaps suiting those with a parent looking for “Granny Style” accommodation, those wishing to work from home but hoping to have space separate from the main living areas or perhaps suiting a child/teenager who requires their own living space.

It is fair to describe the property as 8 Apartments with the main house featuring, 2 public rooms plus the conservatory which undoubtedly extends the living accommodation together with 3 bedrooms, whilst the extension features 2 further apartments highlighted as an additional (4th) bedroom and small living/tv room (this could be a 5th bedroom if required).
