Plans have been unveiled for new seafront flats to be delivered on the site of a former children’s cancer home in Prestwick.
About this development:
- Authority:South Ayrshire
- Type:Residential
- Applications:
Ashleigh (Scotland) Ltd wants to develop 40 flats within four blocks at the former Malcolm Sargent House on Links Road.
The apartments would be 3.5 storeys in height, with a mix of two, three and four bedrooms - with penthouse apartments having their own balconies.
Car parking space for 50 vehicles would be provided.
The former Malcolm Sargent House provided a retreat for children battling cancer for more than 25 years and was opened by Princess Diana in 1989. It was sold in 2017 by owners CLIC Sargent after claims of a “challenging fundraising environment”.
David Smith, managing director of Prestwick-based Ashleigh, told Ayrshire Live: “We’re delighted to present the proposals at what I believe is one of the best sites in the west of Scotland. The location is one which means a lot to the town and the plans for development will be tasteful and high-end.”
