Mayfields

Development Overview

Mayfields is a new build homes development by Persimmon Homes, located on Ainsworth Way in the popular coastal town of Saltcoats, Ayrshire (KA21 6FL). The development is strategically positioned to offer a balance between Ayrshire’s scenic west coast and commuter access to Glasgow and surrounding towns.

This development offers a broad spectrum of property types to suit various buyer profiles, ranging from two-bedroom flats and two- and three-bedroom terraced houses to three-bedroom semi-detached and larger three, four, and five-bedroom detached homes. Current pricing for the available new build homes at Mayfields ranges from approximately £199,000 to £315,000. Specific available plots include a 3-bedroom semi-detached house, with prices starting from £199,000, and 4-bedroom detached houses, with prices extending to around £275,000.

Property Details

The Mayfields development features a mix of designs including the 3-bedroom 'Elgin' detached house, which typically incorporates a bright, front-aspect lounge and an open-plan kitchen/dining room with a French door access to the rear garden. The ground floor layout often includes a separate utility room and a downstairs cloakroom for practicality. Upstairs, the master bedroom is commonly designed to be en suite, supplemented by a good-sized family bathroom and additional storage options.

Persimmon Homes is a major national builder, constructing approximately 16,000 homes annually across the UK. The company has been awarded 5-star builder status by the Home Builders Federation (HBF), indicating that over 9 out of 10 customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should note the company has previously been subject to industry-wide scrutiny over build quality, with the firm commissioning an independent review in 2019 and implementing measures to improve customer care and standards.

Location Benefits

Mayfields is part of the 'Three Towns' area (Saltcoats, Stevenston, and Ardrossan) and provides excellent connectivity for commuters. The nearby Saltcoats railway station offers direct and regular train services to Glasgow Central, with the fastest journeys taking as little as 35 minutes and the average journey time being between 43 and 47 minutes. For road travel, the development has easy access to the A78 arterial route, connecting to Irvine and Kilwinning, while the new Dalry Bypass further facilitates car commuting to major hubs like Paisley and Glasgow.

Local amenities are readily accessible. Named facilities within the vicinity include Tesco Metro, Sainsbury’s, the Saltcoats Health Centre, and the Rivergate Shopping Centre, all of which are cited as being within walking distance. The town’s location on the Firth of Clyde offers significant leisure appeal, including the sandy South Beach with views across the water to the Isle of Arran.
