Development opportunity in Kirkoswald for sale

A conservation village that is essentially residential in character having a population of only a few hundred, Kirkoswald lies in the South Ayrshire Council area on the A77 around 13 miles south of Ayr and eight miles north of Girvan.

Commercial uses in the area include Souter’s Inn, a popular licensed restaurant located immediately adjacent to the development opportunity.

The former licensed premises are formed over one and two storeys dating back to the early 18th Century constructed in stone with a combination of slate and thatched roofs and with an enclosed outdoor area and outbuildings to the rear.

The properly traded some years ago as a public house and recently has comprised retail and offices with internal accommodation currently including two linked retail areas, a secondary retail area and WC facilities on the ground floor and, on the first floor, an office and a store. The property is well appointed internally.

Kevin Bell, partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors in Ayr, said: “Planning permission was granted by South Ayrshire Council in late 2024 permitting change of use to form holiday accommodation.

“We would also point out that the raised plot at the rear gained planning consent from South Ayrshire Council permitting the erection of a café/retail development and associated landscaping works.

“This planning consent was granted in 2009 but has since lapsed. Interested parties should make their own enquiries to South Ayrshire Council Planning Department.”

Offers over £350,000 are invited. Interested parties should contact the sole selling agent on tel 01292 267987.
