Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “I live on the edge of The Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park, so I’m used to being surrounded by nature. When I first walked into the gardens of ALDERBANK it just seemed to be a delightful sheltered natural haven, one in which to relax, whether at the end of a busy day or as part of a gentle retirement. Yes, it needs work done. Yes, the gardens need work. However, as an Antique Dealer friend of mine often says – find me another! I think the successful buyer secures the opportunity to develop their own haven, yet it’s not miles away in the countryside (as I am, commuting 90 miles each day to/from work) …..and don’t forget, the sweeping promenade/seafront is only a short walk away.” To arrange a Viewing Appointment please telephone BLACK HAY Estate Agents direct on 01292 283606.

The property has been a very comfortable home to its owner over several decades with its flexible & very sizeable internal layout being adaptable to suit family or non-family use. The well proportioned accommodation comprises 8 Main Apartments over 2 levels, currently 4 public & 4 bedrooms with the former integral double garage having been converted decades ago to provide one of the current 4 public rooms - an outstanding family/living space. In particular, the ground floor features a welcoming reception hall with staircase leading to a large upper hallway, the lounge is situated to the front whilst a separate living room & dining room are located to the rear, the aforementioned substantial family room is notable to the front with its large twin full-drop windows, the kitchen is located to the rear with a useful utility area adjacent, a useful “downstairs wc” is located off the reception hall. Moving upstairs one is met with a pleasingly larger size upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located – Nos 1 & 2 to the rear enjoy elevated country views to the front whilst Nos 3 & 4 are located to the front, a useful storage/study style area is positioned to one side whilst on the other, the main bathroom. Noting the space upstairs lends itself to the addition of a 2nd bathroom/en-suite (subject to required planning permission etc) however the current owner was happy with the existing layout. The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing (apart from the family room). EPC – D. The property is set amidst neatly presented private gardens, tree lined to the roadway side and open to the rear over the countryside. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a valued detached double garage (with remote door access) with the pitched roof matching the main house.

Prestwick Airport is approx’ 7 miles away whilst the sweeping seafront at Barassie is approx’ 3 miles away. By car to Glasgow on the A77 from nearby Symington is approx’ 29 miles. In our view, this substantial Modern Family Home is an outstanding alternative to New Build Detached Homes which are often squeezed onto new/repetitively styled developments with accommodation/parking which simply doesn’t compare to the space/value offered by this most appealing home. The serious Buyer will find it hard, in our opinion, to resist the flexibility provided by the 8 Main Apartments featured – internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space provided.

Historically the properties are believed to have been part of Auchincruive Estate with No 6 believed to date from circa 1930's, currently most of these individual homes have been re-styled or developed by their successive owners. No 6 reflects the extensive input/expense over a 10 year period by its current owners with internal viewing essential to appreciate its enviable location/views, charming accommodation together with its attractive Annexe, converted from the original Stables by the owners to provide independent accommodation - clearly this offers flexibility of use for the successful purchaser whether as extended accommodation, perhaps as a self-contained "Granny" Cottage, separate Home Office literally a few steps from the main house or a Studio for those with an artistic background. Of course, there is also potential as Holiday or Letting accommodation for additional income (subject to any required permissions including any potential Mortgage Lender). The Main Home "Annfield Cottage" is a most appealing Detached Bungalow which is deceptive when viewed externally from its rear facing approach along the country style single track road (well maintained/tarmacadam - shared ownership/maintenance), to the front the property enjoys picturesque countryside views with the wonderful larger conservatory commanding the best views. The accommodation comprises, reception hall, lounge with solid fuel stove style fire, the aforementioned conservatory which is a wonderfully inviting focal point, an open-plan dining kitchen with most useful separate utility room off, 3 comfortable bedrooms together with a stylish 4-piece bathroom.

Services include mains power, water (note the water pipework from the A70 is privately maintained, cost shared by respective owners) and gas supply whilst a private septic tank is conveniently located with the property boundaries. Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments - " One could say that I am biased towards Country Living as that's where I have lived for many years, however rather than me telling you why No 6 Belston Holdings may well be your Dream Home I simply suggest that you view it …make your own mind up. In my view, No 6 has many of the wonderful aspects of country living but without the 90 plus daily commute that I have from my home in Galloway. The successful purchaser will enjoy Country Living just a few minutes drive from Ayr/the A77. A Cottage Style Bungalow, an Annexe (The Byre), the very picturesque Ayrshire Countryside, a short commute to Ayr …that's just a few of its very appealing positives. It's a Special Home and I envisage the very lucky new owners settling in on their first evening and realising that they are indeed living their dream! " Viewing by Appointment Only please, thank you.

This splendid home is of broad appeal, carefully maintained & upgraded with flexible 6/7 Main Apartment Accommodation featured over 2 levels. Set amidst neatly presented & colourful (when in season) landscaped gardens with the rear gardens in particular inviting one 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. Homes of this style remain rare to the market and although of broad appeal are valued by family buyers, retired/semi clients and particularly so by 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. Internal viewing reveals a welcoming reception hall which leads onto the ground floor apartments which comprise, dual aspect formal lounge to the front, absolutely charming contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with triple window aspects, dual velux windows drawing natural overhead light and the picture style patio doors leading down to the mature gardens, 2 bedrooms (Nos 1 & 2 with No 2 used as a study at present) together with the main bathroom. A discreetly positioned staircase off the reception hall leads to the upper hallway which opens onto 2 further bedrooms (Nos 3 & 4) together with an upper shower room/wc serving either bedroom.

A narrow shared (with adjacent Bungalow) driveway is positioned to the right of the property, not suitable for a car however providing separate/convenient access from front to rear. Parking is available on-street.   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 Karuna is in some respects an understated home externally, open the door and one is met with a simply charming & comfortable home which can easily adapt its accommodation to meet the demanding family or a couple seeking space in which to relax. This is indeed a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very desirable Detached Bungalow which has been thoughtfully extended and will no doubt tick many of the Wish-List boxes of buyers hoping to secure their next home in the thriving coastal town of Prestwick. “
