* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A wonderful opportunity for those yearning to immerse themselves in “Country Living”, this Charming Detached Cottage Style Bungalow enjoys a truly picturesque setting with countryside unfolding in all directions. “Little Camlarg” was originally the site of the former Shepherd’s Cottage for Craigengillan Estate, replaced circa 1970’s with the Cottage Style Bungalow that awaits its lucky new owner.
Entering through its private driveway the Cottage nestles almost magically with a babbling burn curving around the outer edges of its delightful partially wooded main gardens, a bridge beckoning one to cross by vehicle or foot …prepare to utter the word… “Wow” …because it is. Beyond the cottage and main garden (circa 2 acres), an additional circa 14 acres of rough grazing/land invites one to ponder their options or simply enjoy the additional space/extended views that it provides, noting that a separate/private access is also available to the additional land (at the far end, off the main road).
Little Camlarg is approx' 1 mile east on the B741 from Dalmellington Village which is part of the renowned “Dark Sky Park” which provides a dazzling starscape on clear nights that town/city dwellers never experience. Turn right (signposted) into the shared driveway, pass a Detached Bungalow at driveway entrance), travel a short distance to be met by a farm gate through which one enters the property.
The current owners have upgraded the property during their period of ownership and it is fair to say that they are very reluctant sellers, only moving to accommodate the needs of their daughter.
The comfortable accommodation which enjoys panoramic views comprises, reception hall, spacious lounge with patio doors, open-plan kitchen adjacent, 3 bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The specification includes both central heating (renewed & powered from the multi-fuel fire, plus back-up immersion heater) & double glazing. EPC – D. There is a private septic tank within the boundaries of the property (renewed), mains water & electricity are provided. There is an abundance of parking space within the garden grounds.

“ Having marketed & sold a myriad of properties over my 35 Years as an estate agent there is a category of property which one will never see professionally mentioned
…these are properties that make most potential buyers utter the word – Wow!
…whether it is the super luxury spec’, huge size, amazing location, spectacular views etc’
…there are also the subtle properties where the location just makes you go …Wow
Little Camlarg… simply Wow! What a lucky buyer will surely say, especially the day they arrive with the keys proudly in their hands, because they bought it! “

* NEW to Market - Available to View * Enjoying favoured locale, this ever popular stone fronted Detached Bungalow will be of immense interest to clients seeking a much larger garden, which in this case is concealed to the rear. A comfortable home for over 30 years to its current owners, the splendid gardens can easily accommodate a range of interests, from families seeking safe outdoor space, the keen gardener wishing to expand their floral artistry or add a productive veg/fruit area, those yearning to add a summer house/workshop will welcome the extra space. Clearly the opportunity also exists to extend the property further (subject to the required planning permission etc) whilst not impacting such a large garden area …so many ideas to consider.
Conveniently positioned for Ayr Town Centre, local amenities including shopping & public transport whilst local schools are also easily accessible. A short journey takes one to the A77 which provides links north & south.
The property features on-the-level accommodation which has been extended already to the rear whilst the attic area features floored/lined additional storage. In particular comprising, entrance vestibule onto the reception hall, lounge to the front which could be used as a 3rd bedroom if required, extended family/dining room privately situated to the rear with pleasing garden views/access via patio doors, centrally positioned “Galley” style kitchen with breakfasting room beyond and further utility storage thereafter, 2 bedrooms (to the front & rear respectively – Nos 1 & 2) with bedroom No1 featuring a small en-suite. What is now a useful study had been the original bathroom however the current owners elected to create a much larger bathroom by taking some space from the rear family/dining room.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D. Neatly maintained private gardens are located to the front & rear, noting the very substantial rear gardens. A private driveway provides off-street parking, this leading to the rear with a paved vehicular turning space available. On-street parking is also available.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments…
“ After 35 years working in the property industry across Scotland, Bungalows have remained a firm favourite for homebuyers …today it’s not just retired/semi retired buyers that want a bungalow as their final home, younger buyers are switching away from tightly packed modern homes, appreciating the flexibility of a bungalow and the opportunities that are often available to extend.
This is an exciting opportunity with its secret garden, one that a New Homes Builder today would almost refuse to allocate to just one house. If they wish… the successful purchasers will have the opportunity to extend their indoor lifestyle outdoors, without running out of space.
One can just imagine what can be created in such a wonderful outdoor space. ”

** Available to View Now ** "Wellsbourne House" is a magnificent B-Listed Detached Mansion, circa 1900, commissioned by Ayr's foremost architect of the era - James Archibald Morris. This striking property commands immense presence with its grand facade instantly recognisable from the sweeping Ayr promenade/seafront. Morris was responsible for a number of notable historic buildings, Wellsbourne House being located within the Savoy Park conservation area, convenient for those wishing to enjoy the seafront with its spectacular views or walking into Ayr Town centre.
More recently the property was the subject of a sympathetic conversion to form 4 more manageable individual apartments plus an adjoining "Mews". This splendid building has retained its distinctive Arts & Craft period style with impressive Red Sandstone finish and fine detail. An imposing twin pillared entrance opens onto a private driveway with sweeping views across the gardens whilst Wellsbourne House commands one's attention with its sheer scale & unique character.
Apartment No 4 (with its own private entrance) is offered "For Sale", commanding the entire top floor with a "Penthouse" style feel, enjoying breathtaking elevated sea views which sweep along the coastline with the Isle of Arran & Alisa Craig visible on the horizon. A striking clear glass balcony centred between the corner turrets captures the stunning views - both from the balcony itself or when seated in the lounge.
The private main door entrance opens onto a good sized ground floor Reception Hall, a staircase rising from here (note - there are a number of stairs/5 flights due to the location/height of Apt' 4 therefore this may not suit some potential buyers), passing a half-level landing which features a separate Study/Boxroom and a larger Storage Room (for outdoor wear/gear, bicycles etc). Reaching the Upper Hallway a further door from the main entrance staircase opens onto a corridor style Upper Hallway which discects the Top Floor and leads onto the Main Apartments, which comprise.... a central semi-open-plan Lounge/Dining - stretching from front to rear (exceeding 30' in length) of substantial proportion & undoubtedly a focal-point with the clear glass balcony drawing one to enjoy the genuinely breathtaking views. Two substantial Bedroom Apartments flank the central Lounge/Dining enjoying the external turret style roof detail seen at either end of the front elevation whilst smaller windows beckon one to appreciate the fabulous views. A third bedroom is located to the rear whilst a Breakfasting Style Kitchen is located to the side. 2 Bathrooms are conveniently positioned at either end together with a useful Utility Room.
Apartment No 4 exudes immense character/style from a much loved yet bygone era. It would undoubtedly benefit from a degree of internal modernisation however the realistic price reflects the upgrading required and allows scope for the successful purchaser to acquire a truly unique home which they can style to their own taste/requirements.
The substantial main garden grounds remain private to the Ground Floor Apartment (details to be confirmed from Title Deeds). There are communal shared costs - further details available upon request. Central heating & double glazing are featured. A private garage is included in the sale with a stone chipped "drying"/small garden area to the rear of the garage. Further parking is possible within the grounds (informally arranged between owners).
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments - "I look back at my 30 Year Estate Agency career and remember working in my home City of Glasgow where I had the pleasure of viewing/valuing/marketing some of Glasgow's finest Traditional Mansion Homes.
Wellsbourne House reminds me of many of those fine Traditional Mansions and of course many of these had been the converted into separate apartments over more recent decades.
However... where Wellsbourne House differs is in its scale, architectural detail and views. The visual impact is immense when viewed externally and the steady journey up the internal staircase gives little clue to the impact of the view which Apartment No 4 commands... it literally takes one's breath away!
It does require internal modernisation however I would suggest that the successful purchaser will have their own ideas and will relish the opportunity to put their personal mark on such a unique apartment. Imagine, if one can, how much it would cost to create this home in this location today... and how much the builder would price the property when offered for sale.
In my view... if you want a Penthouse Style Apartment with a lift or less stairs for easier access then Wellsbourne House is not for you. If however you want a spectacular home with equally spectacular views - Apartment No 4 awaits you..."
