A rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable larger proportioned 6 Main Apartment Traditional Sandstone End Terrace Villa enjoying a sought after “seafront side of Prestwick Main Street” location on Midton Road, a few minutes walk from Prestwick’s sweeping promenade/seafront. Substantial traditional homes of this style remain rare to the market and are particularly valued by family buyers and Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside.
The property retains considerable character with the spacious apartments throughout being most appealing, easily accommodating a growing family, or equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. The property has served its current owners as a comfortable home and the opportunity exists for the successful purchaser to re-style to suit their own taste/budget with the 3 level accommodation layout offering flexibility – currently utilised as 2 Public/4 Bedrooms (noting some room photos are withheld or show items stored pending the owner moving to a smaller property as this property is now too large for them).
The property occupies the favoured End position in an attractive short Traditional Terrace of similar style sandstone fronted homes, with stone chipped gardens to the front whilst the rear of the property conceals much valued private parking and neatly presented rear gardens – accessed via nearby side street/passing alongside a modern flatted development to the rear (pictured). The sweeping Prestwick promenade/seafront is a few minutes walk, encouraging one to explore/enjoy the magical attraction of Prestwick’s beach/seafront.
In particular, the excellent accommodation comprises, on ground floor, most welcoming character reception hall, formal bay windowed lounge, separate living/family room, well appointed modern dining kitchen with patio doors onto rear gardens/parking area, a potential 3rd public room nestles between the lounge & living/family rooms - offering flexibility of use, presently a bedroom (No 1), whilst a very useful "downstairs" wc/shower room is discreetly positioned off the dining/kitchen. A staircase rises from the reception hall, passing the half-level landing which features a spacious bathroom (which does require modernisation). Moving on to the upper hallway, 3 bedrooms are featured (Nos 2, 3 & 4 – only Nos 2 & 3 are pictured as No 4 is currently used for storing items).
Excellent attic storage is provided. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC – D. On-street parking is also available. Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. With Glasgow approx’ 30 miles away Prestwick properties are particularly popular with Glasgow based buyers relocating (knowing the value of these style of homes in Glasgow!) …those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow …and of course local buyers seeking to move nearer to the seafront & requiring a larger family proportioned home.
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 and value highly the magic ingredient of a near-seafront location.
This Character Home on Midton Road ticks many boxes for a wide variety of buyers – its near seafront location, plus …substantial accommodation, private parking, character/charm, being located in Prestwick which is undoubtedly a sought after & thriving coastal town.
If you are reading this and want to buy/live in Prestwick then you probably already appreciate everything this Charming Home has to offer …and no doubt you also appreciate this is indeed a wonderful opportunity. The successful buyer will surely enjoy celebrating when they collect their keys on removal day …when they can begin making their dream their reality.”

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * Within ever popular Dundonald Village, amidst the picturesque Ayrshire Countryside yet convenient for those commuting via the A77/A78, this attractively styled Modern Detached Villa, built by O’Brien Homes, circa 2007 is set within a select development of mixed style quality homes. Visually, the contrasting brick finish/external detailing provides a pleasing contrast to the often bland style new build homes that one often sees. A superb family home with 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, alternatively flexible for those “working from home”.
The well presented accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with dual aspects to the front & rear whilst feature twin doors from here open onto the separate dining room which in-turn has patio doors leading onto the private/enclosed rear garden with feature patio area, the kitchen is accessible from the hall or dining room – extensively fitted with a stylish array of base/wall cabinets together with integrated appliances and a small breakfasting style space. An attractive staircase provides a fine centrepiece within the reception hall, this rising to the upper hallway off which 4 bedrooms are located. Bedroom No 1 being the “master” bedroom to the front with a very stylish en-suite whilst No 2 is also situated to the front. Bedroom Nos 3 & 4 are located to the rear enjoying views across the garden/adjacent property with Dundonald Castle ruins & woodland beckoning in the distance. The main bathroom off the upper hallway serves bedroom Nos 2, 3 & 4, noting the additional “downstairs” wc.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. The EPC is C. Neatly presented private gardens are provided to the front & rear, the rear being an inviting outdoor space to enjoy on better weather days, the feature decked patio area provides an attractive outdoor dining/seating area. A private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached single garage which offers secure parking/storage.
Dundonald Village enjoys a favoured countryside setting yet sits centrally for access to Kilmarnock, Irvine, Troon whilst both Prestwick & Ayr are within convenient commuting range The A77/A78 provide easy commuting links with Glasgow approx. 30 mins by car. Public transport by bus is available. Amenities include a local convenience store/take away/pub/restaurant etc. The local school is Dundonald Primary.
In our view… No 1 School Wynd is perhaps a “little bit more niche” in the sense that it successfully combines its desirable 6 Main Apartment Accommodation with a much more appealing external styling, rewarding the owners with the feeling that they have bought their own special home.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable 4 Bedroom Modern Detached Villa, adjacent to railway line, enjoying elevated golf course views to rear with the sea/coastline on the horizon. One of a small number of similar style homes built on Douglas Avenue, Prestwick. Of particular appeal to those seeking a detached home in a favoured locale, convenient for walking to Prestwick’s sweeping promenade seafront.
Competitively priced to allow scope for the successful purchaser to refresh the property internally, noting that the conservatory to the side has suffered some minor movement. A Structural Engineer’s Report (packaged to view along with the pdf Home Report, available only by visiting our blackhay.co.uk website – we do not send this via rightmove) confirms the house itself is unaffected by the conservatory which was believed to have been added after the property was built. It seems likely the issue is related to the foundation of the conservatory however it is considered of “No Value” with regard to the Home Report mortgage valuation of £260,000 and the property is “Sold as Seen”.
Internal viewing reveals a well proportioned modern style home featuring 6 Main Apartments over 2 levels, the ground floor comprising, most welcoming reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, spacious lounge with semi-open plan dining to rear, separate breakfasting/kitchen with rear vestibule off and door/stairs leading down to the rear pathway. On the upper level, 4 bedrooms are provided, providing flexible accommodation for a growing family or additional home working/leisure space if a non-family buyer – noting the pleasingly elevated golf course views (over the railway line) from the rear facing apartments. The main bathroom is also on the upper level.
Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. Attic storage is available. EPC – D. Noting the site of the property is elevated/slopes downhill, therefore the front garden area is level with the roadway and is attractively landscaped, the rear garden is non-existent other than a paved pathway which runs along the rear of the property allowing full access around the property. A sloping private driveway provides off-street parking whilst also leading to a detached garage which currently provides secure parking/storage. There are different options available perhaps to create more garden, perhaps removing the garage and creating a decked/patio style area (as on-street parking adjacent to the property is generally available) however the successful buyers will no doubt have their own thoughts.
Prestwick remains Ayrshire’s “property hotspot”, with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the delightful/sweeping promenade & seafront are within walking distance. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. Of broad appeal, valued locally by family buyers in particular, together with couples & retired/semi-retired clients, whilst further afield of interest to 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.
In our view… a superb opportunity to acquire a desirable Detached Home, particularly suited to those seeking value for money and the opportunity to create their own stylish home. To discuss your interest in this particular property, which is “Sold as Seen”, please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale - 01292 283606.

In our view… No 6 Bathurst Drive has been a comfortable home to its owners for circa 50 years, so much so that having bought it new they never moved. The lucky new owners will no doubt transform it into their very own 21st century home, to hopefully enjoy many years ahead …enjoying the fact that it is detached …has a private driveway/garage space …is set amidst delightful leafy/private gardens …and the potential that it offers for their future. Lucky Buyers indeed.
