Large freehold site with heavy electrical connection and strong A70 access.
21-acre site with circa 90,000 sq ft industrial/office space
An extensive 21-acre light industrial site with circa 90,000 sq ft of buildings, hardstanding and former colliery infrastructure. The property includes offices, workshops and warehouse spaces with typically high internal heights, mains drainage, gas, water and a high-voltage electrical connection useful for energy‑intensive operations. Situated adjacent to the A70 trunk road, the site is 2 miles from Ochiltree, about 5 miles from Cumnock and 10 miles from Ayr, giving straightforward road access to regional centres.
The scale and services on site are the main strengths: substantial land holding with large buildings, heavy-connection electricity and good road adjacency make this attractive for industrial reuse, aggregates or energy uses, or redevelopment subject to planning. The plant previously used for aggregates has been removed; the site is now largely cleared with significant hardstanding areas that reduce immediate groundworks for many uses.
Key constraints are practical and planning-related. Broadband speeds are very slow and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect workforce availability and modern connectivity needs. Any change of use or redevelopment will require planning permission or applications; alternative uses are possible but not guaranteed. Buildings date from around the 1950s/60s and will require inspection and likely upgrading or selective demolition for many schemes.
This freehold heritable interest suits a buyer seeking a large-scale industrial platform or redevelopment opportunity in a rural location with strong utility connections. Investors and developers should factor in refurbishment or demolition costs, planning timelines and local infrastructure improvements (notably digital connectivity) when assessing potential returns.
