ROZELLE House will be restored to its former glory after councillors gave the go ahead to repair the crumbling Ayr mansion.

The venue which displays some of the council’s multi-million art collection, demands nearly £400,000 worth of work. 

Councillors have agreed to find the cash to carry out “essential external fabric repairs” on the A-listed building.

The exact bill for the Common Good owned asset will be £391,000.

Rozelle’s gem is the latest stunning property to end up looking worse for wear in the town.

The state of the Station Hotel and Belleisle House Hotel have reached crisis point.

Politicians sitting on South Ayrshire Council’s Leadership Panel agreed to fix the exterior of the grand listed Alloway parkland structure at a recent meeting. 

A survey revealed stonework and render repairs are necessary.

Money to fix it all will come from the Common Good Fund. 

The David Elder Edward Trust also agreed previously to make a £175,000 grant donation to the cause. 

Alexander Goudie’s paintings based on Robert Burns’ ‘Tam o’ Shanter’ are displayed in the building as well as precious museum items.
