Summary
The subjects comprise a fairly regular shaped hardstanding site which is currently used as an informal car park and historically forms land to the rear of former garage premises on Main Street, Prestwick which were subsequently re-developed to form two large retail units with the subject site remaining as surplus land.
The site appears to be bound by predominantly brick walls/fencing and is accessed directly from Salisbury Place, which is a cul-de-sac accessed from Ladykirk Road, both of which are residential in nature and predominantly tenemental flats. Salisbury Place also provides access to the rear of the retail units on Main Street for loading.
