A highly prominent, freehold development parcel overlooking Moorfield Roundabout on the A71/B7081 junction in Kilmarnock. The generally level 3.73-acre site is split north and south of an access road, sits immediately adjacent to a Premier Inn and Whitbread’s Cookhouse & Pub, and benefits from strong roadside visibility and easy vehicular access. Its location beside recent and planned residential developments and close to Crosshouse University Hospital adds practical footfall and occupier catchment for commercial uses.
The site is offered at a low headline price and suits a variety of commercial uses — retail, drive-thru, restaurant or mixed commercial schemes are all realistic options given neighbouring uses. As a substantial, prominent plot with road frontage and a connecting strip between the two parts, it provides flexibility for a split development or a single cohesive scheme.
Important practical points: the land sits within a 'Non Designated Land Use' area in the East Ayrshire Local Plan, so planning is not guaranteed and prospective buyers must make enquiries with East Ayrshire Council. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and broadband speeds are very slow — factors that may influence occupier choice and financing. No flooding risk is recorded. Purchase will be by heritable interest, VAT is excluded, and each party will bear their own legal costs.
