Pretty price tag for ‘NYC’ loft flat

Balcony enjoys views of the town

- ABI SMILLIE

Fancy owning a New York loft-style apartment but for a fraction of the price and closer to home?

Then this trendy four-bed in the heart of Kilmarnock could be what you’re looking for.

On the market for offers over £125,000, this top floor flat on Nelson Street is a real gem.

The property, whose exterior shape is similar to that of New York City’s wedge-shaped Flatiron Building, boasts a fascinatin­g piece of history belonging to the town.

The apartment is located within the old Kilmarnock Standard building and was once the old printing room where thousands of reams of paper would run through the machines weekly, delivering the latest news to the people of the town.

A nod to the property’s past is retained in the stunning original exposed beams throughout.

The property is deceptivel­y spacious, with the accommodat­ion extending to; a welcoming hallway, bathroom with walk in shower, two good sized bedrooms (both with built in wardrobes) and the open-plan living kitchen area, complete with breakfast bar and bi-folding doors out onto a balcony.

The balcony, with astro lawn, allows you to soak up the sun while enjoying views out over rooftops and chimney pots.

There are a further two bedrooms at the rear of the lounge, one of which could be utilised as an additional TV room or home office.

The property’s location is a stone’s throw away from bustling John Finnie Street, which boasts shops, pubs and restaurant­s.

It may not be in the Big Apple, but if it were there’d be a couple of zeros added on the end of that price tag!

Offers Over £125,000. Contact Slater Hogg & Howison, Kilmarnock, on 01563 623008.
