The subject property comprises a B listed 3 storey stone built property pointed externally under a part pitched and slated, part flat felt roof. Historically the property traded as a bank with ancillary offices and still retains a ground floor banking hall-type presence with high floor to ceiling height and numerous ornate features. At ground floor level there is office accommodation and stores to the rear while the 2 upper floors provide predominantly cellular office facilities. There is a separate entrance to the property from Douglas Street leading immediately into a rear staircase providing access to upper levels. As such the property would be suitable for further sub-division and letting as individual units or alternatively for a substantial development of the property under a suitable mixed use scheme. All of the alternative uses will require planning permission.
