The eerie 'ghost town' estate where £300,000 homes sit unfurnished after firm went bust

Eerie images show a 'ghost town' estate where only three houses are occupied after building work stopped on it more than a decade ago.

The group of sixteen homes, once worth around £300,000, lie mostly abandoned after work began in 2007 then came to a halt.

The properties at Woolmill Place in the town of Sorn in East Ayrshire, Scotland, are now being almost completely taken over by nature.

Pictures from inside show how the walls of the homes are half painted and plastered and there are unfitted toilets and baths tossed aside in different rooms.

The few residents who moved in to the housing complex say they are still 'outraged' it was never completed. 

The site was originally built by a building company which went bust following the 2007 credit crunch. 

Following its bankruptcy the site was bought by a construction firm for £2million.

Local residents say the company have done nothing since - leaving the homes now slowly falling apart with derelict interiors.

One woman who lives in one of the homes said: 'Nothing has been done for years.

'We were promised that it would be a great community.

'If they don't want to build anymore then fine - but sell it to someone who does.'

In July last year it was similarly revealed that residents of Northstowe, a 10,000-home development near Cambridge, were furious that developers caused their prized local services to become overwhelmed by building the sprawling development ‘back to front’.

The villagers had no medical facility, no shops, no library, no pub, no library and just one bus an hour, forcing them to rely on the services of the surrounding rural communities.
