Peel House, 1922 former Police Station in Girvan – Offers over £324,750

Got Character? What Makes Peel House Unique!

“Hoo bout we check out the 1922 jail cells just down the hall?” How’s that for a conversation starter! This former police station in Girvan has both character and potential with loads of space including 5 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms, oh… and 4 former jail cells.

There is still work to be done to complete the redevelopment into a residential space, so if you are looking for a unique character property to put your special touch on – this is it! Perhaps there is a niche AirBnB market for jail cell stays?

You truly can let your imagination run wild with both residential and business potential with so much square footage. The outdoor garden courtyard has a surprisingly nice pond and large greenhouse in the back. Peel House is right on the town square overlooking the polished pink granite McCubbin Fountain and just a 10 mile walk to Girvan Beach.
