Residential development

A fantastic opportunity to purchase the Buccleuch Annex with amazing potential for development. Set over three floors with the prospect of converting the upper two floors into either 4 residential dwellings or a mix of residential/commercial units, this property must be seen to fully appreciate. Vehicle access to the rear via large secure doors leads to an already developed workshop at basement level with planning permission granted in 2020 (some works still to be completed). The workshop has been completed to an exacting standard with 3 phase electric main and fuse board, concrete floors with damp proof course, insulation and double doors, ideal for deliveries or private car parking for an upstairs development. Other benefits such as security cameras and a new roof are a great advantages.

The Workshop - The workshop and courtyard are entered through a private vennel which leads to the rear of the building. Pedestrian and vehicular access to the workshop is from the rear courtyard. Solid timber double doors and single entry door with 5 lever mortice lock provide secure entry into the large workshop and store rooms. The concrete installed flooring with damp proof course and metal reinforcing are all compliant with building regulations and have been passed to date. The timber external partition including OSB boarding, thermal building paper wrap and Kingspan insulation, have also been passed to building regulations. The insulation required to complete the inside perimeter timber frame is included in the sale and on site.

Development Potential - The two upper floors are currently cleared of all materials with walls removed providing a blank canvas for development. Plans have been drawn up as a guide, to form a mix of residential and commercial properties (available on request). The floor space of the combined levels is approximately 435 Square Metres (4683 Square Feet). These drawings are indicative to enable the permissions being granted for the workshop below and will be looked at favourably once the workshop is completed and passed by building regulations.
