Description
We are delighted to offer to the market via the Agents Property Auction this substantial two-storey detached sandstone building with a pitched slate roof, prominently situated on St Mary’s Street, Blackhill.
The building is still in use and is presented to a fair standard throughout, comprising various classrooms, a kitchen, offices, WC facilities and storage areas. There is also a small office on the first floor that has been inspected; however, the remainder of the first floor has been boarded off and could not be accessed for inspection.
Externally, the property benefits from ample private parking and a garden area to the side, providing additional outdoor space and flexibility of use.
The building is being sold with vacant possession, although it is currently occupied and operated by Kaydar Services as a day-care and residential support facility. The property offers excellent potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consent and use class.
