Chances are, even if you live in Ayr, you’ll never come across Marchmont Road.
It’s a cul-de-sac only accessed by going about half-way down another residential street, Bellevue Road.
And this “secret” road is a very desirable spot indeed.
There are a mix of villas and a parade of four blonde sandstone town houses. Number 9 is one of two mid-terraces.
Agents Corum of Ayr label it a “traditional classic” which is solidly built with the typical high ceilings.
The frontage disguises the size and it stretches back into the rather long back garden.
As well as the original double-storey rooms at the back, the owners extended at ground level, creating a dining room, office, shower room and utility.
The four bedrooms are all upstairs and have been kept original - there are no en-suites for instance.
As well as the dining room you get two big receptions - a 20 foot bay lounge and a big family room with French door to the garden. This room also has lovely detailing including a fireplace.
The lounge also boasts a fire and fireplace as well as original cornicing and rose.
The kitchen is charming, with space for a small table and chairs.
And it has not one but two old pulleys for drying a heap of family clothes.
Without doubt there is plenty of space in the loft to create a third floor of accomodation.
Outside a paved patio and sheltered courtyard leads beyond, with Corum saying: “The gardens are without doubt a key feature of the house.
“Extensive lawns are bounded by pretty, well stocked borders, containing an impressive variety of mature shrubs and fruit trees.”
At the back there is a single garage accessing an old lane. Corum on 01292 880888 seek offers over £315,000.
