The Courthouse on St Andrew’s Street is a substantial stone built building under a pitched and slated roof. The property is arranged over five levels, including basement, ground and three upper floors and is currently in use as a Court. Internally, the accommodation has been split into various court rooms with a number of ancillary offices and waiting rooms associated with the current use.
Location
21 St Andrew’s Street is situated on the north side of the street which is on the eastern periphery of Glasgow city centre, close to the Saltmarket, Gallowgate, Glasgow Cross and the Trongate. The immediate surroundings are characterised by commercial uses at ground floor level, with high density flatted residential dwellings above. This area of the city has been the subject of a number of regeneration projects in recent years, which have seen the redevelopment of redundant buildings and sites to provide new commercial and residential premises. The immediate surroundings are predominantly residential in nature, interspersed with a number of business users occupying ground floor positions within residential blocks.
Terms
Our client’s Heritable Interest (Scottish equivalent to English Freehold) in the property is available with the benefit of vacant possession. Further information is available from the sole disposal agents.
The property is not a Listed building and is located within the city centre policy area in a Central Conservation Area. The property currently has planning permission for use as Court and ancillary office accommodation under Use Class 10 – Non Residential Institution. With regard to redevelopment, we have been advised by Glasgow City Council that retail, commercial and leisure uses at ground floor level would be consistent with Local Plan policies. Residential development on the uppers floors would also be compatible with the Local Plan. Interested parties should make their own enquiries to Glasgow City Council’s Planning Department – telephone number 0141 287 8555.
