Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… " With 39 Years in the Property Industry and thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in different style properties & locations, including a wonderful conversion. When I first approached Oakfield I was immediately reminded of the fine Traditional Villas & Conversions which I valued/sold in my home city of Glasgow during my near 2 decades working in Glasgow's West End & South Side. The family history of this wonderful home tells its own story ….a much loved Period Home which was then adapted to meet changing needs, yet it retains an immense amount of its original character & charm with the added benefits of the former coach house/garage and private garden share. Interestingly I remember my association with Cala Homes and when they opted to build New Homes in Kilmarnock (followed by other builders) as they sought an alternative option for Commuter Buyers. Kilmarnock was perfect as it was central for either Glasgow or the Ayrshire Coast. So, we find this fabulous home which ticks the boxes in terms of its most appealing style/character/space together with easy access to Glasgow or the Coast. Oakfield/No 53 London Road is a wonderful opportunity for the Buyer seeking a Special Traditional "Glasgow Style" Home …however without the huge Glasgow premium! In my view, the successful Buyer/s will be delighted when they receive their keys and become the new owners/custodians of this very Special Home " To discuss your interest in this particular property please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale - 01292 283606.
