Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY comments – “I live in the Galloway Countryside and perhaps I am drawn to rural/semi-rural properties however being originally from Glasgow I am also able to draw on city versus countryside living. I make this simple case... if you are not restricted to city living then embrace the countryside! Wynford, (albeit with its smaller bedrooms) has so much to offer its successful purchaser... most of all, in my view... is the opportunity of living & breathing the life of the countryside which is beating all around you. If you haven’t experienced living in the countryside... then, in my view, you haven’t really lived! I would be amazed if the New Owner is not re-invigorated by enjoying all that Wynford has to offer.”

This desirable home enjoys a very convenient town centre location with easy access to a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport whilst Ayr’s sweeping promenade/seafront is within eyesight/a short walk - noting the elevated views from the attic apartment, across the rooftops with the coastline stretching out along the horizon.
The current owner has undertaken refurbishment works over an extended period of time, gradually nearing completion, with the extensive attic level a particular focal point - formally converted with the necessary planning permission etc. Some minor works are required however the competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to finalise the interior to suit their own style/budget (noting the positive Home Report mortgage valuation of £220,000). The accommodation is featured over the elevated ground & first floors with a further staircase rising to the very substantial attic level. The garden level flat & a mews-style single storey building to the rear are under separate ownership and not offered for sale.

A discreetly positioned and well constructed staircase nestles just off the upper hallway, rising to the attic level which is available as a very substantial/private 4th bedroom or available for use as a 3rd public room - currently an open-plan living/family/cinema room.
The specification includes both gas central heating. EPC – D.

"Kingarth" - A truly exceptional Traditional Conversion, forming the entire Upper Portion of this most imposing Detached Sandstone Villa. This fine home enjoys a beautifully presented and substantial private garden share which reflects the owners keen interest in same.
Entered from the main roadway through a pillared entrance onto the shared driveway with the private entrance to the Upper positioned to the left hand side/rear. Internal viewing confirms the immaculately presented accommodation which is presented to "Show Home" standard, retaining considerable character & charm with elevated views from its upper apartments.
The superb accommodation which is well proportioned throughout comprises, private external staircase leading to the entrance vestibule and in-turn onto reception hall, a most appealing formal bay windowed lounge, an impressive dining hall, a very stylish/well equipped dining/kitchen with open-plan living area, 4 spacious bedrooms (one presently utilised as an additional family room) together with a very stylish bathroom.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC - D. Generous attic storage is available. Parking is available to the front of the property whilst a private garage is also included within the sale. The aforementioned gardens invite one to potter/relax with the summer house providing a sheltered outdoor leisure space.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Value of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" During my 30 Years in the estate agency industry I have viewed/marketed/and sold all types of properties however occasionally a particular property stands out …for me, born & brought up in the West End of Glasgow I am very familiar with Traditional Character Homes, having both lived in and sold them over the years.
I often encourage clients to consider looking beyond their usual comfort zone/location for their next home as there are real surprise properties out there awaiting discovery. Kingarth clearly falls into that category as it has all the hallmarks of a fine character home which one would find in Glasgow's West End or South Side however its location outwith Glasgow means that the successful purchaser would literally save several hundred thousand pounds purchasing Kingarth and accepting a little more commuting time.
I now live in Galloway, approx' a 45 mile commute from my office in Ayr. If I was looking to move Kingarth would be at the top of my list as it ticks the character/charm/accommodation and value for money boxes. I would be smiling broadly driving through its pillared entrance.
In my view it will be both a wise and lucky buyer who becomes the successful purchaser of Kingarth "

* 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.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Bungalow built by renowned Hope Homes, one of a select number within this neatly presented development which enjoys picturesque open countryside/river views to the rear. This style of Bungalow was usually specified as a 3 Bedroom layout however the original & only owners from new requested a 2 Bedroom layout as they preferred to have larger proportioned rooms. In addition a larger size conservatory was added to take full advantage of its delightful views.
This most appealing home features on-the-level accommodation which although of broad appeal will be of particular interest to the retired/semi-retired client seeking a Modern Style Bungalow built by a quality builder, featuring larger proportioned main apartments …at a price which is very competitive in comparison to town located (ie Prestwick, Ayr, Troon) bungalows which will be much more expensive. In reality …the “canny buyer” will look out-of-town if they are not tied to the daily commute or require to be in or near a working town/city location.
The accommodation comprises – a welcoming reception hall, a very spacious formal lounge, separate larger dining/breakfasting kitchen, 2 bedrooms & a larger bathroom with modern suite and larger walk-in shower instead of bath. The splendid larger conservatory is accessed from the dining/kitchen and with its delightful views could easily be the focal point.
The attic area offers excellent storage. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC-D. Private gardens are provided to the front and rear, laid out for ease of maintenance, the rear being of larger size and enjoying delightful countryside views (garden shed provides external storage). A carport to the side provides sheltered private parking with monobloc driveway. A garage could perhaps be added to the rear, subject to required planning permission etc.
In our view… No 7 Burnpark, Catrine has been a much loved & comfortable modern home for its only owners …now presenting an opportunity for the successful buyer to own a desirable Detached “Hope Homes” Bungalow in what is arguably the best position within this attractive modern residential development on the edge of the Village of Catrine. No doubt the new owner will re-style to suit their own taste/budget therefore the out-of-town more competitive pricing allows scope for extra spending.
