* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * The short phrase “Blank Canvas” pops up within the property industry, usually describing a property which requires extensive modernisation or perhaps an unfinished new build property/project with little or no interior fittings. St Nicholas Road, Prestwick is in every sense a blank canvas, however this Detached Character Home represents a real opportunity for those clients wishing to create their own Special Home.
St Nicholas Road arrives to the market in a basic/”Sold as Seen” condition however one can easily see what is required to refurbish/modernise whilst also considering the further development potential. Currently featuring flexible on-the-level 4 Main Apartment Accommodation which is fairly described as 2 public rooms & 2 bedrooms, the 2nd public room (adjacent to the kitchen) would most likely be suited as a dining style kitchen if the current layout was retained, noting however the larger rear garden which could happily host extended accommodation. The attic level has been used for storage however nearby properties demonstrate the development potential (all references to “development potential/extensions” etc are of course subject to the successful purchaser acquiring planning consent/building warrant etc).
Internal viewing reveals well proportioned accommodation which retains character features, in particular comprising, entrance vestibule onto reception hall, most appealing bay windowed lounge to the front, dining/family room (directly behind the lounge) with access from here onto a very basic kitchen (door to garden), two double bedrooms (to the front & rear respectively) whilst a simple bathroom (again requiring modernisation) is located off the reception hall to the rear.
The specification includes traditional single glazing together with a gas supply (noting the gas fires should be treated as not working and requiring a safety inspection – therefore sold-as-seen). EPC – G. Attic storage is available with a small access hatch located in the bathroom (no ladder access). The front garden area has been hard surfaced to provide private/off-street parking. The rear garden is mostly lawned with brick boundary walls, of larger size, an inviting space in which to relax or potter outdoors whilst also able to provide a good sized garden area even if a future owner extends the footprint of the house. On-street parking is also available.
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 cycle/car journey. Public transport includes bus & train. Prestwick Airport is nearby whilst the property is also convenient for access to the A77/A78. Of broad appeal, undoubtedly valued by local buyers, whilst further afield interest will extend 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.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “ With 37 years in the property industry, marketing/selling thousands of homes, I’m still attracted to Blank Canvas properties as my mind/imagination plays out what I would do with the property/what my spend would be …and what the final Dream Home would look like.
Of course, that is both the serious & fun process for potential buyers when considering this fine Character Home. One can clearly imagine what the property was like, consider how it actually looks today ….and how it can evolve with renovation works.
Clearly a tremendous opportunity to secure a very desirable home in thriving Prestwick …one can imagine the celebrations of the successful buyers when they secure their future Dream Home. ”

No 4 Greystones - A superb opportunity to acquire a Prestwick Promenade/Seafront Home, enjoying fabulous panoramic coastal/sea views with the Isles of Arran & Ailsa Craig on the horizon.
Greystones was originally built, circa 1904, as a substantial Traditional Detached Sandstone Villa amidst a larger plot on the corner of Links Road/Ardayre Road with the West Elevation to the front enjoying panoramic sea views. Historically its former owners include Janie Allan (part of the successful Allan Shipping Line Family), notable for her strong involvement in the Scottish Womens Suffragette Movement which featured in the struggles of the early 20th Century.
We understand that Greystones was the subject of a Residential Conversion in the 1960's, forming what we now see - 4 2-Storey Conversions. No 4 enjoys the favoured West Elevation capturing the wonderful seascape views from both its ground & upper front facing apartments.
Undoubtedly the property will appeal to those clients seeking a seafront property, however although it does require modernisation, it offers the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style/upgrade to their own specification/budget.
The well proportioned accommodation is over 2 main levels with an undeveloped attic area perhaps offering further potential, subject to required planning permission etc. Access to the property is via a main door entrance from the promenade or shared access across the rear garden/pathway from the side (off Links Road) or the shared rear driveway (off Ardayre Road). A single garage to the rear is included together with a share of the communal rear gardens whilst the garden area directly in front facing the promenade is private to No 4.
The ground floor comprises front & rear entrance hallways, spacious lounge/dining, separate living room (potential perhaps to open this room up with the adjoining kitchen - planning permission would be required), kitchen, useful understair wc, whilst on upper level, 4 bedrooms, shower room & separate wc. A floored/lined attic storage area is accessed via loft hatch located in bedroom No 1. The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing. Off & On-street parking is available.
The property is undoubtedly convenient for the adjacent sweeping promenade/seafront whilst the thriving Prestwick Town Centre provides a wide variety of amenities/shopping/public transport.
In our view No 4 Greystones provides the successful purchaser with a very rare opportunity to a create a wonderful seafront home. Internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both its potential & spectacular sea views.
To arrange a Viewing Appointment please telephone BLACK HAY Estate Agents on 01292 283606. Outwith normal Office Hours our Call Centre is available 7 Days a Week on 0131 513 9477.

The accommodation comprises, open entrance porch leading onto the reception hall, charming lounge nestling to the rear with patio door onto the rear gardens which are south facing and enjoy daytime sun on welcome sunny days, a semi-open plan dining/living room is located off the lounge to the front, a smaller size corner sited kitchen and good sized stylish modern bathroom (large walk-in shower rather than bath) are located off the reception hall.

In my view, this is a truly fabulous opportunity to acquire a most desirable near-seafront home which positively encourages one to embrace “seaside living” and make the most of walking the promenade with its panoramic sea views …whether on the flat-calm days where the waves just gently ripple ashore or wild winter days when the “white horses” race off the sea to douse walkers with sea spray! Living by the sea brings its own unique visual entertainment. It’s a lucky New Owner that will receive the keys to this Charming Home. ”

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * “ HILLVIEW ” – Enjoying elevated distant hill views from its favoured Gardenrose Path position on the “highside” of Maybole, this larger Detached Bungalow offers a fabulous opportunity for those clients seeking a “blank canvas” from which they can create their own special home.
It is fair to say that latterly the focus was on the function of the property rather than whether it was styled internally to whatever current “interior trend” was popular …however, there is clearly scope financially for the successful purchaser to re-style to their own specification/budget and no doubt increase the underlying value of the property.
Easily missed behind its conifer fronted boundary, the property is attractively set amidst mature gardens with the large driveway accommodating multiple cars whilst those that favour the fun/opportunity that a large garage provides for “tinkering” will absolutely appreciate the circa 33’ plus long garage with similar length annex adjacent …one can imagine the sheer happiness of having such a large area of sheltered workshop/storage space.
Internal viewing reveals the well proportioned/flexible 4 Main Apartment accommodation of the ground floor whilst a very substantial floored/lined attic area currently provides spectacular storage space with potential for further development, subject to any local authority required permissions etc.
In particular, the central main door to the front opens onto the entrance vestibule (with its useful double storage cupboards either side), from here onto the welcoming reception hall, a large box-bay windowed lounge to the front (with multi fuel stove fire – also partially linked to the heating system), also to the front on the opposite side is a separate box-bay windowed family/living (or dining) room with concealed stairway leading to the attic area, 2 double bedrooms are located to the rear with bedroom No 2 having a patio door opening onto a sun room area (noting that this is “tired” and needs attention), a modern style kitchen is located to the rear however one expects that this and the adjacent utility room will likely be modernised by the successful purchaser, the bathroom is situated to the side of the reception hall. On the upper level, the aforementioned attic area is very substantial and will no doubt create all sorts of “ideas” as to its potential.
The specification includes double glazing and a non-working system of gas central heating which is sold-as-seen (due to the boiler being uneconomical to repair, plus its location may be moved by the successful purchaser as part of any “modernisation” plans). EPC – E. The aforementioned tandem style double garage (lovingly built by the owner & with remote control door – note the internal timberwork construction detail …and it has an “inspection pit”) with adjoining annex are undoubtedly valuable additions whilst the expansive driveway offers excellent private/off-street parking. The gardens are mature with a mixture of lawned areas, well established “screening” and a feature timber deck area to the rear. On-street parking is also available.
Maybole has recently benefitted from the opening of the A77 Bypass which removed the heavy flow (at times) of traffic moving through the "town" centre. It is approx' 9 miles (15 - 20 mins) by car to Ayr. The A77 provides a convenient major road link north or south whilst the popular Galloway Forest/Dark Sky Park is approx' 10 miles away, the A75 from Girvan to Stranraer is approx' 13 miles away. This particular property benefits from elevated distant hill views whilst it is notably within a short walk of the mainline train station which enabls easy commuting via public transport, there is also a bus service.
In our view…Hillview is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a very desirable Detached Bungalow that “radiates” potential …a Character Home to its current owners …now awaiting its New Owners taking it forward & creating their own Special Home.
To discuss your interest in this particular property please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Bungalow built by renowned Hope Homes, one of a select number within this neatly presented development which enjoys picturesque open countryside/river views to the rear. This style of Bungalow was usually specified as a 3 Bedroom layout however the original & only owners from new requested a 2 Bedroom layout as they preferred to have larger proportioned rooms. In addition a larger size conservatory was added to take full advantage of its delightful views.
This most appealing home features on-the-level accommodation which although of broad appeal will be of particular interest to the retired/semi-retired client seeking a Modern Style Bungalow built by a quality builder, featuring larger proportioned main apartments …at a price which is very competitive in comparison to town located (ie Prestwick, Ayr, Troon) bungalows which will be much more expensive. In reality …the “canny buyer” will look out-of-town if they are not tied to the daily commute or require to be in or near a working town/city location.
The accommodation comprises – a welcoming reception hall, a very spacious formal lounge, separate larger dining/breakfasting kitchen, 2 bedrooms & a larger bathroom with modern suite and larger walk-in shower instead of bath. The splendid larger conservatory is accessed from the dining/kitchen and with its delightful views could easily be the focal point.
The attic area offers excellent storage. Both gas central heating & double glazing are featured. EPC-D. Private gardens are provided to the front and rear, laid out for ease of maintenance, the rear being of larger size and enjoying delightful countryside views (garden shed provides external storage). A carport to the side provides sheltered private parking with monobloc driveway. A garage could perhaps be added to the rear, subject to required planning permission etc.
In our view… No 7 Burnpark, Catrine has been a much loved & comfortable modern home for its only owners …now presenting an opportunity for the successful buyer to own a desirable Detached “Hope Homes” Bungalow in what is arguably the best position within this attractive modern residential development on the edge of the Village of Catrine. No doubt the new owner will re-style to suit their own taste/budget therefore the out-of-town more competitive pricing allows scope for extra spending.
