*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.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – C. 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. Private parking for several vehicles is available off-street within the large driveway which in-turn leads to a detached garage which offers secure parking/storage. On-street parking is also available nearby.
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… 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! ”

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a much-loved home set amidst picturesque gardens, truly delightful to explore, extending to an expansive circa 1.3 acre. No 1 is a Charming Period Cottage believed to pre-date 1900 (it may be in the region of 200 years old although we cannot confirm this accurately), occupying the end position of Burnside Cottages, a short row of similar style cottage homes set within desirable Sundrum Estate on the outskirts of Ayr.
This delightful Character Home has been occupied by its present owner since the late 1970’s, with the owner having enhanced the energy efficiency of the property by way of insulation/solar panel heating etc whilst the expansive garden has been a much enjoyed labour of love with an emphasis on eco friendly/organic/productivity together with its undoubted attraction as a magical environment for children to explore & play hide n’ seek with the garden wildlife.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable home which is rich with character & charm, period features including fireplaces with solid fuel fires, exposed stonework, all complemented by the magical garden views hidden to the rear. The property was extended in the past, unusually it retains two separate staircases which over time reveal their convenience of use as they are situated towards either end and encourage an easier flow between the ground & upper floors.
On the ground floor, the focal point being a substantial conservatory which stretches along the rear of the cottage providing twin areas - living & dining respectively both enjoying wonderful garden views, a formal character lounge is centrally positioned whilst a very spacious dining kitchen is positioned at the gable end with functioning pantry and useful separate utility room, in addition, the bathroom, useful separate shower room/wc & bedroom No 1 which serves as the “downstairs” bedroom. On the upper level, 3 spacious bedrooms with the twin staircases/hallways providing convenient access.
The specification includes oil central heating, solar panels (currently providing additional income), double glazing. The water supply is a private connection to the cottages from Castle Drive mains supply. A private septic tank is within the boundaries of the cottage. EPC – D.
The property enjoys a favoured corner site just off Castle Drive, at a crossroads adjacent to the partly visible Residential Caravan Site. The expansive garden grounds are heavily screened for added privacy, with formal/informal areas, a well established woodland and a small burn running through a lower section of the garden. A detached triple garage block on the corner of the garden boundary provides both private/secure parking & storage with a floored/lined area together with useful utility.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ There is so much I could write with regards to this unique character home, its wonderful expansive gardens and its enthusiastic owner who clearly adores and has adored her home & garden over the years …however, it’s the viewing of this magical home & garden which replaces the written word.
I found it genuinely magical and I have no doubt that the successful buyer will be over-the-moon when they collect their keys on removal day and open the door for the 1st time …it’s the day that the dream becomes a wonderful reality. ”

Although tucked quietly away the property is very convenient for access to Prestwick’s thriving town centre and excellent local schools, both within walking distance. 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 appreciate the appeal of Prestwick together with its sweeping seafront.
The accommodation on ground floor comprises, welcoming reception hall, most appealing lounge to the front with views over the crescent, stylish kitchen to the rear with open-plan dining room featuring patio doors, the 4th bedroom is positioned at the rear of the hallway offering flexibility of use whilst a very useful “downstairs” shower/wc is positioned understairs.
