Eerie images show a 'ghost town' - a housing estate lying empty after building work stopped over a decade ago.<br /><br />The group of sixteen homes once worth around £300K mostly lie abandoned after work began in 2007 - then came to a halt.<br /><br />The properties at Woolmill Place in the town of Sorn in East Ayrshire in Scotland are being taken over by nature.<br /><br />Video from the inside shows the houses half painted and plastered, with unfitted toilets and baths tossed aside in different rooms.<br /><br />The few residents who moved in say over a decade after the project began they are still 'outraged' that it was never completed.<br /><br />The site was originally built by a building company which went bust following the 2007 credit crunch.<br /><br />Following its bankruptcy the site was bought by a construction firm for £2million.<br /><br />Local residents say the company have done nothing since - leaving the homes now slowly falling apart with derelict interiors.<br /><br />One woman who lives in one of the homes said: “Nothing has been done for years.<br /><br />“We were promised that it would be a great community.<br /><br />“If they don’t want to build anymore then fine - but sell it to someone who does.”<br /><br />The houses overlook the River Ayr and Dalgain Farm
