The principle building which was built in 1900 fronts Foundary Street & David Henderson Court and comprises an L-shaped 2 storey traditional stone constructed B listed former damask linen mill held under a pitched and slated roof. To the south west corner fronting David Henderson Court is a low balustrade tower with access road. Connected to the main mill building are a series of single storey factory extensions built in 1937. We understand the factories are exempt from the Historic Scotland’s listing and may suit demolition.
The site extends to approximately 0.8 hectares/2 acre site or thereby. Access to the site is from directly off Pilmuir Street with adequate on-site parking provided to the east and north elevations.
We anticipate the original L-plan mill building will suit a variety of alternative uses readily converting to residential or commercial. The balance of the site would suit new built residential development/ carehome/retirement living or a variety of commercial/leisure uses, subject to planning.
