Great for semi retirement

The perfect spot in Troon

There is little chance of this one being around on the market for long, writes Stephen Houston

This red sandstone semi is one of just four pairs of identical homes that form a sweep around a Morven Crescent in downtown Troon.

The station is within a couple of minutes walk and all the attractions of the town are a short stroll away.

That makes it ideal for families, or older folk seeking an easy home to manage, chiefly on the one level, and the first tees of three golf courses within 300 yards.

Stepping inside it becomes apparent there is more room than you might think.

Agents Waddell & Mackintosh have put this four- bedder on the market at offers over £ 225,000, which seems a bit of an upset price and sure to pull in the offers.

The property will require a degree of upgrading and redecoration to taste but offers an outstanding opportunity to create a comfortable home.

A timber storm door leads in to the entrance vestibule with a part glazed door in turn leading to the reception.

The bay windowed front lounge ( 18ft 7in) looks out over the parkland and has a coal effect gas fire.

The rear facing dining room is also a generous sized apartment with a feature alcove with cupboard space below and an understair storage cupboard.

The original rear single- storey part of the semi houses the 18- foot long kitchen, which enjoys three windows.

Completing the ground floor are two double bedrooms, one with built- in storage.

Bedroom three is the biggest, though the eaves have to be taken into account.

There’s a dormer out the back with views over the garden and then small wood. To the front it has a Velux and is nearly 20 feet long.

The fourth bedroom is not up to much and the sellers say it could possibly become a nursery or home office.

There is a brick outhouse attached to the rear of the kitchen which houses the central heating boiler and a garden shed.

Call Waddell & Mackintosh on 01292 312222 for viewing, offers over £ 225,000.
