Two rundown bungalows near Stewarton go to auction; starting bids are £25,000 each. Potential seen despite unsafe viewings.
These rundown houses are near Stewarton. They’re being auctioned by Auction House Scotland. People online noticed them. Bids start at £25,000 each. Buying both costs £50,000.
A TikTok account showed the cottages’ awful condition. Reactions varied greatly. Some criticized the homes. Others see potential, despite the unsafe viewings.
Someone joked about Ayrshire’s houses. Auction House Scotland playfully responded with a sad emoji. An ex-estate agent called it a “fixer-upper.” Another person liked the low price and renovation chance.
The land outside is overgrown. An old greenhouse is there. Weeds and bushes grow wildly. Red paint is chipped on open doors. Green brick walls have ash inside. Litter fills the hallway. Tattered curtains hang near old books.
One room has many items. Books, clothes, speakers, and boxes fill it. Other rooms are full of junk. Ceilings are rotting, and smoke damaged rooms badly.
An outhouse is full of bikes. The roof of it crumbled. One bathroom has wooden walls. You can see the broken sink. Another bathroom overflows with stuff. Plastic chairs face the window in a room. Graffiti covers the walls. One part says, “Redrum.”
Each house has a hall, lounge, kitchen, and bath. Two bedrooms and loft space exists too. They sit on Dunlop Road by a tree drive.
These houses are outside Stewarton. Stewarton is a “thriving” town. It also has many useful amenities. The land is sizable, they say. It could become a residential area later. That depends on approval though.
Auction House Scotland sees developer interest. Some want to build new homes. Others want to renovate these places. The auction is Thursday at 2 pm. It is streamed online.
