The Fenwick community has been given time to come up with a business plan for the John Fulton Memorial Hall.
However, the matter has been made more difficult by the loss of the nursery, its main source of income, after it relocated to Fenwick school campus.
The hall was originally transferred to the Ayrshire Communities Enterprise (ACE) in 2015 after the council agreed to reduce its operational properties across the authority by a quarter.
