A piece of the countryside
An old fashioned property ripe to be modernised is fresh to market.
Judging by the decor, it’s been three decades or more since this bungalow - called “Lea Park” saw any upgrading.
But for a price of offers over £ 199,000 you’re getting a great slice of the countryside.
The three- bedroom home sits off the Dalrymple Road and has fully enclosed gardens with big gates to the driveway.
A stand of pines give great protection from the north, in the lea of the cold winds.
The grounds are virtually all lawned, so easily kept.
And of course you get lovely, mature countryside views, especially from the three windowed lounge. One is actually a glass door to offer another way of getting outside.
Ayr agents Donald Ross Residential note: “There is excellent development potential.”
The property has never been extended and is all on one- level, so it’s a blank canvas if a bigger house is required.
Outside there is a substantial garage as well as an outhouse and this could possibly be incorporated in a new layout.
You get a little over 1300 sq ft as it stands.
The lounge takes up much of this space at 14ft 8ins by 20ft 6ins.
And a separate dining room at up to 16ft 5ins wide is another good space, leading directly to the kitchen out back.
There is only one dated bathroom and no en- suites in the trio of similar sized bedrooms.
Of the era and two walk- in cupboards off the hall, so there is plenty of space for clutter.
The kitchen, which has twin aspects at the rear, is dated and needs a complete upgrading.
But it would not cost a huge amount to enlarge it, perhaps knocking down the connecting wall to the dining room.
There is only partial double glazing and heating is by oil.
Donald Ross add: “Externally the property is surrounded by mature gardens which offer delightful views over the countryside to the front, side and rear. There is a tarmacadam driveway providing secure off street parking.”
Viewing is through Donald Ross on 01292 288222, offers in excess of £ 199,000.
