"Strathken" and its charming Attached Cottage offer those seeking true flexibility the rare opportunity to acquire a Unique Home which can serve as a substantial Family Residence or one which offers the option to use each property individually.
The present owners have extensively refurbished the property at substantial expense creating the fabulous Family Home that we see with "Strathken" whilst the Attached Cottage has been carefully re-developed to provide, in this instance, the opportunity to utilise as a successful Holiday Cottage (see Visitor Book comments).
Although The Cottage has its own independent entrance/garden/kitchen etc, it is linked internally and can easily be brought back into the main accommodation creating a 6 Bedroom Home with multiple public rooms. Its flexibility will also appeal to the buyer perhaps seeking "Granny" style accommodation which combines security/independence or for those wishing to work from home or have independent "teenager" accommodation.
Internal viewing of Strathken reveals a most appealing home of 7/8 main Apartments over 2 levels which has been extensively refurbished (only requiring minor finishing). In particular the well proportioned accommodation comprises on ground floor, reception hall, attractive lounge (featuring solid fuel fire) and separate dining room, a "dream" open-plan living/dining/kitchen which is simply breathtaking and demands attention with its scale/extensive glazing/views, a useful utility room & "downstairs" wc are also provided and there is internal access to/from The Cottage (via the utility).
Strathken's specification includes both oil central heating and double glazing. EPC - D. Mature private gardens are located to the rear, these enjoying countryside views. To the front the property enjoys wonderful panoramic countryside views. A private driveway provides off-road parking.
The Cottage is superbly presented (as one can read from the "glowing" Visitor Book comments) with its own road front entrance whilst a patio door to the rear opens onto its own private garden area, with feature "Hot Tub". In particular the accommodation comprises on ground floor, reception hall with very stylish bathroom off, charming lounge/dining with solid fuel fire, semi-open plan kitchen adjacent, whilst on upper level, 2 delightful double bedrooms with wonderful elevated open countryside views to the front.
The Cottage's specification includes both oil central heating and double glazing. EPC - to be confirmed. As noted there is a private garden area which is separated from the adjoining Strathken.
Dumfries & Galloway is picturesque in terms of its rolling countryside, the A75 serving as its main transport link south & north. Strathken itself By Crossmichael, and is approx' 4.5 miles from Castle Douglas which is very popular, being notable as a "Food Town" whilst the picturesque small harbour town of Kirkcudbright is particularly appealing, approx' 11 miles.
In our view an excellent opportunity to acquire a Unique Home with true flexibility. Internal Viewing will confirm its appeal and particular highlights such as the eyecatching living/dining/kitchen of Strathken whilst the most appealing Cottage offers flexible "additional" accommodation, or the opportunity to secure additional income from an easily managed attached property which is literally "next door".

No 23 Central Esplanade - An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a true "seafront" property. For those clients seeking their "dream home by the sea" No 23 Esplanade boldly ticks the most important box "Does the property really have a sea view?" - Yes is the clear answer! From within the property on both the promenade facing ground and upper floors or from the front garden your attention is captured by the sheer panoramic seascape that stretches along the coastline/beachfront with views of Arran & Ailsa Craig on the horizon.
This fine character home comprises a substantial 6 Main Apartments over 3 levels with the valued character retained whilst being carefully complemented by stylish modern fitments in the dining kitchen & bathroom. The successful purchaser will perhaps wish to restyle to their own taste/budget however the competitive price allows scope to create your own special home with a spectacular sea view.
Generally the property is entered from the rear elevation which faces onto the easily missed Bellfield Lane, just off Marina Road however the main door entrance to the front provides instant access to Prestwick's sweeping promenade/seafront and those fabulous views. A much valued private parking space together with a double garage are included with the sale, both located to the rear, either side of the rear entrance gate.
In particular the most appealing & well proportioned accommodation comprises on ground floor, a welcoming reception hall, an impressive bay windowed lounge from which to enjoy the seafront views, a centrally positioned dining/kitchen - well equipped with integrated appliances, to the rear a most useful family/living room with patio doors serving as entrance to/from the rear garden (perhaps one could envisage a rear entrance porch being added here in the future to provide a designated rear entrance hall/porch - subject to planning permission being obtained). A charming period staircase provides access to the upper level, initially a half-landing leads to an attractive rear facing 4th bedroom and a very stylish modern 4 piece bathroom, whilst the main upper hallway features 3 bedrooms - Nos 1 & 2 seafront facing with the "master" No 1 commanding breathtaking elevated views from its 3 frame dormer window. Bedroom No 3 is also of double proportion and is rear facing. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are of spacious double proportion.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. EPC - E. Private gardens are situated to the front and rear, the front with gate onto the promenade whilst the rear is enclosed for privacy with mixed shrubs/flowers and good seating areas. The rear gate opens onto Bellfield Lane (a T-shaped cul de sac lane). Of the 2 parking spaces when one views the property from the rear No 23 retains the right hand space together with the double garage to the left hand side (adjacent to No 23A which was formerly part of No 23 - noting from the front elevation, the single storey link to the right is not part of this property, it is No 23A and is not part of this property sale).
Prestwick's thriving Town Centre remains a strong reason for its popularity with homeowners and visitors whilst the sweeping promenade/seafront views have a magnetic appeal. Prestwick Airport, the A79 & A77 are easily accessible whilst the popular train & bus service provide Glasgow bound commuters with easy public transport links.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments -
" After 30 years in the property industry I still enjoy the many varied property styles and locations which I visit daily as part of my job as an estate agent.
Personally I live in the country however I have always said that if I move it would only be for a sea view. For myself, and many, many others the magic of a sea view remains its ever changing texture/colour/light - never mind the seasons or a particular month or week ….daily and almost by the minute the sea can change from mirror flat calm to gentle ripples, rhythmic waves to racing white horses galloping to the shore on stormy days. The countryside changes by the season, the sea changes by the hour.
No 23 is a superb seafront family home that can entertain on its own however adding in that magical sea view elevates its appeal immensely. Imagine what a New Home builder would price this property at if they built it today?
However in simple terms it comes down to those that seek a true seafront home and value the exceptional qualities of this location and of No 23 itself. It's a Special Home and I have no doubt that the very lucky new owners will settle down on their first evening, soak in the spectacular seafront views and realise that they are indeed living their dream!

* 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.

A very comfortable home to its owners who thoughtfully developed the property during their almost 4 decades, adding the delightful conservatory in circa 2003 whilst the substantial extension was added circa 2014. 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).

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ After 35 years within the property industry I have long since lost count of the number of Bungalow Homes I have sold. Long established areas like Seafield remain highly favoured and the sporadic availability of more tightly packed (...and less appealing in my opinion) New Build bungalows only enhance the appeal of traditional bungalows.
No 16 Seafield Crescent has clearly been a comfortable home over many years ….no doubt it will welcome its new owner/s who can create their own comfortable haven to enjoy into the future. ”

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. ”
