‘Ghost town’ lies empty years after building stopped on £300k houses 16 years ago

'We were promised that it would be a great community'

The town, which goes by the name of Woolmill Place, features a group of sixteen homes, most of which are abandoned after work on the buildings came to a standstill.

Photographs show the ghost town as it is slowly but surely reclaimed by nature.

The group of 16 homes were once worth around £300,000 but the few residents who moved in say over a decade after the project began they are still 'outraged' that it was never completed.

The site was originally built by a building company which went bust following the 2007 credit crunch.

Following its bankruptcy the site was bought by a construction firm for £2million.

Local residents say the company have done nothing since - leaving the homes now slowly falling apart with derelict interiors.

One woman who lives in one of the homes said: “Nothing has been done for years. We were promised that it would be a great community.

"If they don’t want to build anymore then fine - but sell it to someone who does.”

The houses overlook the River Ayr and Dalgain Farm.
