Enjoy living the park life
Suburban homes can often be cheek by jowl.
And while this week’s star home is in a row of houses, it has the feeling of being in parkland.
That’s thanks to the house and neighbours having over- long driveways, meaning that they are a real distance from, and angled to, the road.
At the back of this Longlands Park villa in Ayr mature trees also give complete privacy.
This four- bedroom home is mock- Georgian in style with decorative window shutters to the upstairs bedrooms.
When built it was known as the “Bradfield” and was one of nine executive properties.
With fine brickwork, it looks the part, too.
Selling agents Corum sum it up perfectly, saying: “These impressive homes are renowned for their commanding facade and extensive gardens which lend a real country feel to town centre living.”
Longlands is a sleepy street of mixed property off Monument Road and is a fine place to bring up the family.
You get 2,000sq ft and, rather unusually, a triple garage perfect for housing your vehicle fleet. Access to the garage is straight from the house and there may be the potential to expand the accommodation.
The airiness downstairs is helped by single and double glass doors and to the patio.
Not seen often, the 21- foot lounge boasts a bay window to the back.
Double doors lead to the dining room before another leads to the eating- sized kitchen.
There’s a real country feel to the kitchen courtesy of the racing green AGA and Belfast sink.
Upstairs, a galleried upper landing provides access to four bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom.
The master has a large en- suite. Corum added: “The gardens are without doubt a key feature of the house.
“A fabulous collection of mature specimen trees and shrubs adorn tranquil sheltered lawns all surrounded by mature borders.
“At the front a long sweeping drive leads to a large hard standing area and access to a triple garage.”
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the beauty of Rozelle Park just a street away.
If you are interested in this property, please call Corum on Ayr 880888 to arrange a viewing.
The property is on the market at offers over £ 425,000.
