Ugly duckling must go
If ever there was a house waiting to be flattened and a new mansion born in its place, then this is it.
Hidden away behind high red brick walls and a tree belt is 31 Bentinck Crescent, an ugly ducking in sea of swans.
This is prime Troon and you don’t get much higher up the ladder.
It’s a multi- million curve off behind the well- known bent trees of Bentinck Drive and is favoured by captains of industry.
There are homes only on one side, with the middle forming about ten acres of rough paddock and giving the crescent its strong appeal.
This house is a rare find and is only the market at offers over £ 499,000.
In reality buyers will be after the plot of a little under one acre in which to build a modern mansion.
Agents Happy Home say: “Modernisation is required, a highly sought after area with extensive grounds, offering a development opportunity.”
That is seller speak for flatten the joint and start again.
As such there is little time spent on describing the internals. i l It was built in the 1960s and almost certainly has not been touched since them. For space it has five bedrooms and an attached double garage.
Happy Home added: “It is arguably one of the most sought after locations in Ayrshire, Bentick Crescent is a stone’s thrown from Royal Troon Golf Club and South Beach.
“Undoubtedly the plot location and size is the most desirable factor, which would be suitable for a range of development opportunities for a variety of clients.”
