Excellent opportunity to acquire a development site in Ayr town centre, with plans passed for the two upper floors to be converted to six one bedroom flats.
The property is a three storey building built of a traditional sandstone construction, with a vacant retail unit on the ground floor, and two upper floors with plans passed for development. The vacant retail unit on the ground floor has twin full height windows and double door access from the High Street, and there is a basement accessed via stairs to the rear. This vacant retail unit in a prominent High Street location in a busy town centre can be leased to bring revenue to the buyer. The two upper floors are accessed via the stairs to the rear, with plans proposing access to the stairs directly from Kirk Port to the side and rear of the block. There are plans for three one bedroom flats on the first floor, and three one bedroom flats on the second floor, each comprising open plan lounge/kitchen, bedroom, storage and shower room. 116 and 118 High Street is category B listed, and 120 and 122 High Street is category C listed. Plans were passed for the proposed development by South Ayrshire council February 2023.
