A baronial style villa conversion
Conversions are a rare thing in downtown Prestwick.
But we’ve got a big one here, the major portion of a grand stone villa.
It nestles in a little known cul- de- sac hidden off the well- known St Quivox Road, the main artery to the inland area of the town.
This conversion in Broompark Avenue is right at the head of the cul- de- sac, so a peaceful life is guaranteed without any passing traffic.
Scale is apparent in the size of all the rooms and the building makes good use of extra light from a number of bay window formations.
It is on the preferred ground floor and boasts four double bedrooms, so plenty of room for all the family.
Some lovely Edwardian features have been retained, including some elaborate ceilings and a grand fireplace in the formal lounge.
This room extends to a giant 28 feet into the bay window . There is a fancy fireplace that would benefit from being opened up and used as an open hearth.
As there is a full array of chimneys, this should be a simple transformation.
Corum in Ayr put number 27 on the market on Wednesday for overs over £ 275,000.
And something of this calibre will not last long on the market, this page predicts.
Broompark is an easy 10- minute stroll to the town centre and all its shopping and leisure attractions.
Corum say: “The property will suit a range of potential purchasers including families and indeed those clients seeking all on the level accommodation without compromising on space.
“Features and benefits of the property include textured ceilings and a carved fireplace in the formal lounge.
“Original doors and skirtings have been retained.
“And an impressive bow window in the sitting room and stripped wooden floors in the formal lounge and hallway.” For a conversion privacy is very good. The entrance to the upper floor is on the directly opposite side of the building, so you are never cheek by jowl.
A vestibule leads to an original timber door and a light wooden floor.
Panelling to half height is all painted white to give this heart of the home a real feeling of light and is a sensational feature to enjoy.
It extends to nearly 17- feet long, giving access to every room except the dining room that is accessed through the kitchen.
You get three public rooms - that big lounge, a sitting room and the dining room.
The principal bedroom is 17 feet by 17 feet into the bay and boasts a long and skinny en- suite which has been upgraded as a wet room.
The main family bathroom - more than 10- feet long - has recently been modernised with new units and tiles.
Outside the land has been cleverly split between upstairs and downstairs.
There is private off- street parking and a verandah adjacent to the front door.
A shared driveway continues to the side of the property.
This leads to a private garage, side by side the upstairs neighbours.
At the back the garden is enclosed and there is a sunny lawn at the front to catch those rays.
Call Corum on Ayr 880888 for viewing of this rather rare home.
The agents are seeking offers over £ 275,000.
