The 52 energy-efficient new homes will comprise of new two and three-bedroomed semi-detached houses and two bedroomed cottage flats for social rental. The new development will also include parking and a fully landscaped village green with outdoor play facilities.

Jim Whiston, Director of Ayrshire Housing, said: “The support of the Scottish Government and South Ayrshire Council has made possible this much-needed new development.

"ARPL Architects have designed the homes with long-term flexibility in mind and which set new standards for us in terms of energy efficiency. They have been assisted by engineers McColm Design and quantity surveyors M B Langmuir and Hay. We are also grateful for the support of house builder Lynch Homes who provided the serviced development site.”
