Prominent Edwardian retail frontage steps from Ayr Central.
825 sqm (8,880 sqft) large open‑plan retail floor area
A rare, very large high‑street retail unit in central Ayr, offered with rental interest and possible freehold sale. The property provides a substantial 825 sqm (8,880 sqft) open‑plan sales area with ancillary manager’s office, stock room, kitchen and stores to the rear. The double‑height Edwardian facade and original period features give strong street presence on a busy commercial thoroughfare close to Ayr Central.
The unit is presented as an opportunity for investors or owner‑occupiers seeking a prominent town‑centre footprint. The current marketing assumes a rental tone (£40,000 pa invited) with the option for a freehold purchase; further information on terms is available on request. The layout is regular and linear, making conversion for multiple retail or alternative uses feasible, subject to planning consent.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived local area which can affect spend levels and tenant demand. The current rateable value of £41,600 produces rates payable of c. £20,717 for 25/26, and tenure is not specified in marketing. Change of use or redevelopment would require statutory consents and likely fit‑out/refurbishment works prior to re‑letting.
This is a high‑impact town‑centre asset with clear scale and adaptability. It will suit investors seeking a large, visible retail investment or developers looking to repurpose a substantial trading space, provided they account for local market conditions, rates burden and any required refurbishment or consent processes.
