* 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. The driveway should comfortably accommodate 2 cars whilst also leading to the attached tandem garage which also has integral access to the property.
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. Prestwick Airport is a few miles away.
In our view… a very rare opportunity to acquire a desirable Detached Bungalow which discreetly nestles just off revered “South Beach”. The re-location from city to seaside continues whether for those commuting or perhaps retired/looking towards retirement, Troon undoubtedly provides a very attractive option for clients to re-locate whilst local buyers continue to favour Bungalow style homes near the seafront.

Graeme Lumsden, Director of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
During my 4 decades within the estate agency industry I have been blessed to play a part in my clients journey’s along the property ladder, so many thousands I have lost count …from 1st-time buyer to retirement & indeed beyond.
Every so often a “magical” home appears, it may be its special character or features, the location, wonderful views or rarity …interestingly I also find that homes speak silently of their owners and the lives they have lived.
As I arrived at Glenappin, my heart was captured by the spectacular views and the comfortable accommodation which wrapped itself around me …it spoke silently & very warmly of the owners who clearly loved their home & loved their family time together, over nearly 6 decades …I thought how blessed they were to live in Glenappin.
Perhaps if they wrote a “Property Love Letter” for the New Owners of Glenappin, it may simply read… “ We loved our Home for almost 6 decades, with its spectacular setting & magical views ...and we still enjoy the wonderful memories created there. We hope you love creating your own memories. ”

“ 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 to a coastal location that offers relaxing seafront/beach walks, encouraging one to enjoy the outdoor life.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* “Harelaw” - An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a most desirable undeveloped Detached Bungalow – purchased from new by the owners who specifically requested at the time of the build to have the attic level undeveloped rather than the usual additional 2 bedrooms & 2nd bathroom …the successful purchasers therefore have the opportunity to create their own layout on the upper level (subject to acquiring planning permission etc), taking advantage of the huge undeveloped space available. The property is attractively set amidst mature corner gardens with the added benefit of a charming/substantial conservatory whilst the side positioned driveway (leading to the garage) provides generous private parking, accessed from Adamton Road North.
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 are much in demand, of broad appeal and valued locally by family & retired/semi retired clients whilst further afield they attract 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 larger proportioned ground floor apartments, whilst a discreetly positioned internal cupboard staircase leads to the very substantial undeveloped attic area. The ground floor comprises, a dual aspect open-plan lounge/dining extending to over 26’ in length, a separate kitchen to the rear with access to a charming conservatory with patio doors onto the rear gardens, two spacious double bedrooms are featured together with the bathroom. On the upper level, the substantial attic extends to over 38’ in length with an internal central head-height of approx’ 7’ 6” – centrally floored and one can see the concealed internal window openings that were created at the time of the build on either gable end, however not used.

Neatly presented private corner sited gardens surround the property, laid out for ease of maintenance to the rear whilst the front is lawned to provide visual interest with willow trees.

In my view… this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire an extremely rare Detached Bungalow with a undeveloped attic area where one can clearly see the huge potential to develop the accommodation further, rather than finding an upper layout already developed which may not be to your liking (noting planning permission will be required to develop the attic area). Harelaw is a rare find indeed! ”

“ Even after 38 years in the property industry I still marvel at the magic of living by the sea. The changing seascape from flat calm water through gentle ripples meandering onto the shore …to the white horses/waves racing ashore on stormy days.
For me there is a special connection, an emotion …living by the sea, which is unmatched elsewhere ...and for our owner, the sheer joy when she purchased this particular flat and during the time she has lived there speaks far beyond the monetary value …it’s a life lived in a place that brings you the sheer joy that in my view, only a seafront home can bring.
Our owner will no doubt hope that the new owner of her flat enjoys it as much as she has. ”

“Westwinds”, Bellevale Avenue, Ayr – A desirable Traditional Semi Detached Home with a wonderful “Secret” …when everyone was dreaming of holidays during “lockdown” our owners were secretly relaxing on holiday during those wonderful warm/sunny/blue sky days …by their Swimming Pool! …their Dream Home could be your Dream Home!
Located within a highly regarded residential locale “Westwinds” discreetly conceals its fabulous feature swimming pool to the rear. Internal viewing reveals a most appealing home comprising 6 well proportioned Main Apartments over 2 levels, blending character with contemporary style including an exceptional “luxury” kitchen installed at considerable expense by the current owners. In particular, a welcoming reception hall, impressive lounge, separate dining room, stunning kitchen - extensively fitted with an array of integrated appliances & a cosy semi-open plan breakfasting room & separate utility room adjacent. 4 bedrooms are featured with 2 on the ground floor & 2 on the upper level – with a stylish bathroom serving each level. The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Private parking is provided to the front whilst on-street parking is also available.
Undoubtedly the external focal point is the pool/family area to the rear. The central swimming pool (heated with retractable cover) features a stylish decked surround with 3 social/seating areas inviting one to relax as if on holiday (without the poolside stress!) or enjoy social time with friends & family around the pool. The former garage now serves as an indoor social area adjacent to the pool (retreat if the rain arrives to delay the outdoor fun). A substantial high quality detached barbecue house is an optional extra (additional price to be negotiated).
In our view “Westwinds” is a desirable home without its swimming pool, however with the uncertainty ahead of holiday travel it will undoubtedly tick the boxes for those buyers who seek their Unique/Dream Home!
