The property
"Courtfield", Prestwick. A rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable well proportioned Traditional Part Red Sandstone Semi Detached Villa enjoying a sought after position tucked within Oswald Drive, easily missed, a short walk from Prestwick Cross/Town Centre. Traditional homes of this style remain rare to the market and are particularly valued by family buyers and Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside. This Charming Home, acquired by its owners in the early 1980's has been much loved, featuring an abundance of timber finishes, these having been a particular passion of the owners who spent considerable time & care re-storing them. "Courtfield" retains immense character with original features like the aforementioned timber finishes, delightful period stained/leaded glazed window panels and doors/handles all enhancing its appeal. The well proportioned accommodation easily serves a growing family, or is equally suited to those wishing more space in which to relax/entertain. Having served its current owners as a comfortable family home the opportunity now exists for the successful purchaser to re-style elements (the kitchen & bathrooms being most likely) to suit their own taste/budget. The property stands discretely in Oswald Drive, with a private driveway/parking area & attached garage (purchasers always advised to check in advance that their car will fit any garage). To the rear, easily maintained paved patio style gardens in which to relax or let children play securely, also featuring display flower/shrub beds, twin greenhouses and a most welcome timber finish summerhouse providing a shaded or sheltered outdoor retreat. Preswick's sweeping promenade is approx. 5 minutes walk, encouraging one to explore/enjoy the magical attraction of its expansive beach/seafront. In particular the accommodation comprises, on ground floor, fine character reception hall (small cloakroom off), charming formal bay windowed lounge to the front, separate dining/family room to the rear with a useful semi-open plan sun lounge leading directly onto the rear patio gardens, smaller kitchen with potential to develop further perhaps (subject to required planning permission etc), a short hallway from here leads either to a useful downstairs wc or the rear door which opens onto a lean-to glazed entrance/exit porch to the garden. A striking timber finish staircase rises from the reception hall to the upper hallway where 3 bedrooms are featured including the bay windowed "master" bedroom (No 1) to the front, whilst a larger size bathroom (shower & bath featured) is also provided on this level. Excellent attic storage is provided, accessed via concertina ladder from the upper hallway. Gas central heating is featured. EPC - D. Prestwick is very popular with its thriving town centre and coastal location. With Glasgow approx' 30 miles away Prestwick properties are particularly popular with Glasgow based buyers relocating (knowing the value of these style of homes in Glasgow!) …those commuting to Glasgow either by car (the A77 easily accessible from Prestwick) or by the popular train/bus service from Prestwick to Glasgow …and of course local buyers seeking to move nearer to the seafront & requiring a larger family proportioned home. Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… " With 35 years working in the property industry across Scotland, that iconic phrase location, location & location remains one of the key factors about a particular property's desirability. In addition, post-lockdown has delivered a much increased flow of buyers who yearn for a more relaxed style of living and value highly the magic ingredient of a coastal town location. Courtfield ticks so many boxes for a wide variety of buyers - its desirable location, well proportioned accommodation, private parking, character/charm, location in thriving Prestwick Town. The serious buyer looking for a larger home in Prestwick will no doubt be aware that this is indeed a wonderful opportunity. Courtfield has clearly been a much-loved home …and the successful buyers will surely enjoy celebrating when they collect their keys on removal day."
