Description

‘Loudoun Hall’ is located on Boat Vennal, in the heart of Ayr town centre a short distance from its junction with the north end of High Street, New Bridge Street and Sandgate. There is public car parking adjacent to the property, accessed off South Harbour Street with partial outlook on to River Ayr and Ayr Port.

The location lies close to the main bus route and Ayr bus terminus and railway stations are within a 10-minute walk. Ayr railway station offers regular, fast train services to Glasgow. The nearby area is well served for retail, food and beverage, leisure and cultural sectors.

Ayr is the administrative capital of the South Ayrshire region, in Southwest Scotland, around 39 miles southwest of Glasgow with direct access via the A77 and a 54-minute drive time. The town has a resident population of around 47,000 persons with a South Ayrshire catchment of around 114,000 persons.

Built in 1513 for the merchant James Tait, ‘Loudoun Hall’ is Ayr’s oldest surviving house and one of Scotland’s finest examples of early urban architecture with elegant stonework, vaulted cellars, and a grand upper hall.

Positioned near the old harbour, the Hall once stood at the centre of Ayr’s commercial life. In later years, ‘Loudoun Hall’ became home to the Sheriff of Ayrshire and was a hub for governance and international trade, and as the town expanded and modernised, ‘Loudoun Hall’ remained a symbol of resilience from its origin as a medieval port to a modern community.

‘Loudoun Hall’ was rescued in the 1940s, carefully restored and reopened as a cultural venue and civic space with further upgrades in the 1990s and 2020s ensuring the town centre building remains both historic and functional.
‘Loudoun Hall’ is a category A listed monument, that has been restored over its three floors to form a well-presented meeting and events space, comprising of the following accommodation:

·       Ground Floor: Hallway with central staircase, a caretaker’s room, a toilet and two vaulted stores

·       First Floor: Landing and the main meeting hall

·       Second Floor: Meeting room, a kitchen, a kitchenette, two toilets and a store

Layout plans are provided.
