Residential Units

There are four houses on Caroline Street which have been converted to provide office, warehouse and storage accommodation. Two of the houses remains as three-bedroom accommodation. The houses would originally have provided reception room and kitchen on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms plus a bathroom on the 1st floor. Many in the street have had the attic space converted to provide further accommodation or have been split into flats. The houses do require refurbishment but have fantastic development potential.

There are 2 further dwellings located on Elizabeth Street constructed of stone with a pitched slate roof. One is a 3-bedroom house and the second a 4-bedroom house. These properties have been out of use for some time but also have potential to be brought back to life. Each dwelling enjoys lovely views of the River Esk.

Planning

Planning has been granted conditionally previously to demolish the fellmongery buildings, industry buildings and stone buildings to provide a landscape for the development of housing. Planning was granted for the erection of 12 residential properties comprising 6 town houses and 6 apartments of two and a half storeys, construction road, footpaths and provision of car parking and associated landscaping.

The site is situated within the local development plan for Dumfries and Galloway and therefore lends itself to excellent development potential.
