Hit the sand of South Beach
It may not be Miami South Beach or Ardrossan South Beach for that matter.
But Troon South Beach retains a certain cache of being among the finest spots on the West Coast.
A lot of the big villas are late 19th Century and most of them have been upgraded and brought into the 21st.
This week there is a chance to buy into South Beach at offers over just £475,000.
Some fully renovated homes would easily hit more than £800,000.
All of the properties are unique, some with wonderful architectural stonework features.
Number 74 is an attached villa with extensive, family sized accommodation and magnificent uninterrupted views across the Firth of Clyde to Arran, Ailsa Craig and round to both the Heads of Ayr and Troon itself. There is certainly a requirement to freshen up the building both inside and out – but the work shouldn’t be too heavy.
At the end of the rear garden is a gate onto the common green and the beach beyond.
Internally the property retains a number of period features including cornice work, original skirtings and doors, wood panelling in the dining room, wrought iron balustrade and generous room proportions.
The wide reception hall is fitting for a building of this stature and leads onto a cast iron baluster supporting wooden railings.
Modern details include a garden room off the kitchen, fitted kitchen with utility room adjacent and gas central heating.
In summary the accommodation extends to, on the ground floor, a vestibule, reception hallway with cloaks cupboard and W.C., lounge semi open to the sitting room, dining room, 21 foot kitchen with utility room off and garden room with double doors to the rear patio.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms and three with fitted wardrobes.
The front garden is enclosed by hedging and laid to block paving providing parking for two or three cars.
The fully enclosed rear garden is child safe and predominantly laid to lawn with patio area and shrubbery borders.
Two of the bedrooms are en-suite.
