A B-listed former plash mill in Dundee is among the highlights of the next Shepherd Chartered Surveyors commercial property auction.
Properties and development land located across Scotland will go under the hammer in a live-streamed auction on Thursday 10th April at 2.30pm.
The lots for sale include The Old Mill, Balmuirfield, Dundee, a development opportunity in a residential location. The B-listed early 19th century L-shaped former plash mill is located on an elevated site overlooking the Dighty Burn. A dilapidated iron and timber wheel is located below the southern elevation of the mill with the original transmission system into the mill interior remaining in place.
Although the planning consent for conversion to a two-storey dwelling lapsed late last year, Shepherd said ‘considerable’ details regarding surveys, plans, services and building warrant are available to the buyer.
The property is described as ‘ripe’ for development into a modern dwelling which preserves the character and original stonework of one of the few remaining mills that helped develop Dundee’s prosperity in the 19th century. The property has a guide price of £99,000.
Also being sold is Milton House in Dunoon, on behalf of Argyll & Bute Council. Suited to continuing office use or residential redevelopment subject to planning, this property has a guide price of £140,000.
For those seeking a development project in a town centre location, 5 New Street, Paisley is a former college building offering up to 16,000 sq. ft of floorspace being sold with a guide price of £125,000.
Acting on behalf of Scottish Water, the auction will offer sites in four locations. Glendrissaig, Girvan comprises a former water treatment works and clean water tank with a guide price of £20,000 while south of Ballachulish are four redundant Scottish Water sites with a guide price of £58,000. A former reservoir in Airlie, Kirriemuir is being sold with a guide price of £10,000.
