Summary - Russell Drive, Ayr, KA8 KA8 8JL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable starter home near town centre with renovation upside.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, large lounge and modern shower room
A ground-floor two-bedroom flat offered at an affordable price, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking lower-entry ownership in Ayr. The layout includes a large lounge, two double bedrooms, a well-laid kitchen and a modern shower room, and the property is offered freehold with an EPC rating of C.
The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and presents a utilitarian exterior and well-maintained communal garden. Internally some rooms show dated 1970s–1980s finishes and will benefit from cosmetic modernisation, which creates clear scope to add value. Gas central heating and secure door entry are in place, and there is no flooding risk.
Practical considerations include very cheap council tax and excellent mobile signal, but broadband speeds are slow and the surrounding area is classed as very deprived. A buyer’s premium may apply to complete the purchase; this is a material term prospective purchasers should factor into affordability calculations.
For a first-time buyer wanting a low-cost, liveable home close to Ayr town centre — or an investor targeting rental demand in a central location — this flat offers immediate occupancy and straightforward renovation potential to increase long-term value.
