We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
* (The Home Report & Video Tour are freely available to view exclusively by visiting our blackhay.co.uk website, together with any additional photographs) * "Atholl Lodge " - A superb opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional Sandstone Fronted Semi Villa within ever popular Prestwick, set amidst larger size gardens (requiring attention to rear) with driveway & garage providing valued private/off-street parking.
Featuring 6 well proportioned Main Apartments over 2 levels, this particular property will appeal to those clients seeking a Character Home which they can creatively re-style to their own specification/budget, also noting there are partial/distant sea views from the upper level to rear.
A comfortable home to its owner over many years, it is fair to say that the property does now need modernisation, hence the competitive price which allows scope to modernise, however one can clearly envisage the excellent potential for the successful purchaser.
Naturally this traditional style of property features well proportioned accommodation, over 2 levels (3 Main Apartments on each level) comprising on the ground floor - reception hall, bay windowed lounge, separate family & dining rooms (noting the family room could be utilised as a 4th/ground floor bedroom, if required), "Galley" style kitchen with useful utility room, plus convenient "downstairs" wc off the reception hall.
On the upper level, 3 bedrooms together with the main bathroom (shower instead of bath). The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC - D.
The property is set amidst mature gardens - the rear formerly a most appealing area in which to relax/potter, featuring "specimen" trees however this area will now require attention.
A valued private driveway provides off-street parking whilst on-street parking is available nearby.
Outhouse storage (requiring attention) sits within a small courtyard just outside the kitchen area (also accessed via door from the driveway).
Prestwick remains Ayrshire's "property hotspot", with its well established mixed main street shopping/restaurants/amenities, whilst the sweeping promenade/seafront is within walking distance or a cycle/car journey.
Traditional Homes, remain ever popular especially so for properties located on the seafront side of Prestwick Main Street.
Undoubtedly of local appeal whilst further afield Glasgow based buyers/those relocating from South of the Border continue to seek a change of lifestyle from city to seaside (...and a better work/life balance) with Prestwick fulfilling their dream of a living in a coastal town.
In our view, a rare opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional Character Home, offering real potential for the enthusiastic buyer to transform into their own Special Home - Sold as Seen noting the Home Report Mortgage Valuation of £280,000 for the property in its current condition.
