Four two-bedroom flats in two blocks will be created on the site of the former King’s Arms Hotel.

The development has been carefully designed by Ayr based ARPL, who also designed Ayr’s Beleisle golf pavilion recently completed by 3b construction.

The flats are designed to be exceptionally energy efficient with super insulated and airtight walls. Electricity costs (there is no gas in the village) for heating should be kept low. Solar water heaters will further reduce running costs to the tenants. Mechanical heat recovery ventilation will ensure excellent air quality as it recycles heat into each flat.

Designed to suit varying needs and with a central location, the flats will complement the existing housing supply in the village. Completion is due in January 2018.
