Of broad appeal this neatly presented home provides well proportioned accommodation over 2 levels offering flexibility of use. The attic level has been converted to form a further bedroom (No 3) with separate bathroom - (We are advised that no formal documentation exists for this area however a suitable Insurance Indemnity Policy will likely be available together with an already obtained Engineers Inspection Report confirming the structural integrity of the works carried out). Set amidst elevated private gardens, the front overlooks Prestwick Academy School whilst the rear provides privacy to enjoy the outdoors when the favourable weather beckons.
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.

Internal viewing reveals a most welcoming reception hall which extends to over 25’ and provides access to the ground floor apartments (access from rear of hall to rear garden), whilst a discreetly positioned staircase off the breakfasting kitchen leads to the upper apartments. The ground floor accommodation extends from front to rear, comprising, attractive bay windowed formal lounge to the front, a separate modern breakfasting kitchen positioned behind the lounge, 2 bedrooms (Nos 1 & 2) to the front & rear respectively whilst a stylish modern “downstairs” bathroom serves the ground floor. On the upper level, a further bedroom (No 3) is featured with its own separate modern bathroom.

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, particularly moving from bustling city life in Glasgow 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 desirable 4 Main Apartment Semi Detached Bungalow in one of Prestwick’s favoured/convenient locales, a comfortable, well proportioned home from which to enjoy the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “

A unique Traditional Flat retaining considerable character, enjoying favoured ground floor position within most appealing Traditional Sandstone Terrace, with No 19 having been re-slated in 2017, comprising 4 flats - 2 on each level. Bellevue Crescent is a highly regarded residential locale of mixed style period homes, reminiscent in style/location to Glasgow's desirable "West End", yet at a much more competitive price ...and with Ayr's sweeping promenade/seafront within walking distance.
Particular mention should be made of the unique nature of the accommodation featured - we are advised that the original "Washhouse" which served the common building was acquired by this flat circa 1930's, now utilised as the breakfasting/kitchen, uniquely adding to its larger proportioned accommodation. Further focal points include the provision of a private "back door" onto its private rear garden area together with a useful "sun-porch" and a valued garage (smaller size - potential buyers are advised to check whether their vehicle would fit).
Internal viewing reveals most appealing accommodation of 4 Main Apartments - in particular, a welcoming reception hall, impressive bay windowed formal lounge to the front with attractive outlook, separate dining/family room which could be utilised as a 3rd bedroom if required, breakfasting/kitchen (within original wash-house - note angular shape & part split-level) with a door leading to a useful sun-porch overlooking the rear garden, 2 bedrooms (to front & rear respectively) and bathroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - E. The stone chipped front garden area is private to this property whilst the main garden area pictured to the rear is also private to this property (exact details to be confirmed from title deeds along with any right of access for other owners etc). A private external cellar is provided whilst we understand there is partial use available of a small former wash-house (shared with other owners). A common pathway to the rear provides access to the garage which is also private to this property, this also being accessible from the lane running parallel to the rear of Bellevue Crescent. On-street parking is available (residents permit can be purchased at annual cost from the local council).
In our view... A superb opportunity to acquire a charming Traditional Flat, unique with its larger layout/configuration, with the added benefit of its own private rear door, gardens and a garage. It would benefit from modernisation however the competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to re-style to their own budget/specification.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* An excellent opportunity to acquire a continually sought after Semi Detached Bungalow within favoured Prestwick locale. Of broad appeal this neatly presented home has been a comfortable haven for its owners over many decades. The property is competitively priced to reflect that the successful purchaser will no doubt take the opportunity to modernise to their own style/budget. The much larger than expected private gardens are in our opinion a real positive (although overgrown in some areas), previously a combination of an outdoor area to enjoy when the good weather beckons together with the added attraction of a (now disused) productive vegetable area. In addition a private gated driveway provides off-street parking.
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. Bungalow Homes of this style are much in demand and although of broad appeal are valued particularly by retired/semi retired clients & 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.
Access is via a main door entrance to the side from the driveway, the entrance vestibule opening onto the reception hall which leads onto the remaining apartments of… spacious lounge with space for small dining table/chairs, separate kitchen (“dated” style), two double bedrooms and bathroom (again “dated” style).
The specification includes both electric heating and double glazing. EPC – E. An undeveloped attic area is available. Mature private gardens wrap around the property, of larger size, of appeal to both the keen gardener or family buyer seeking more space for children to enjoy the outdoors. Parking is available off-street within the gated driveway whilst on-street parking is also available.

The Main Door Flats are particularly favoured by retired/semi-retired clients seeking a ground floor property with the added benefit of its own private main door. Internally the property features well proportioned accommodation with scope for the successful purchaser to modernise to suit their own particular style/budget (the kitchen would benefit from being re-fitted).
The accommodation comprises, entrance hall with 2 useful storage cupboards off (the left-hand cupboard can provide an alternative entrance to the kitchen although at present it is closed off/used exclusively as a cupboard), most appealing lounge/dining room with access from the dining area to a separate kitchen, an inner hallway off the lounge/dining provides access onto 2 double bedrooms (both with fitted storage) and the bathroom which has a modern suite (although the successful purchaser may decide to upgrade to current trend).
