The property occupies a strong trading position on the western side of the High Street and lies centrally amongst other established licensed trade premises, restaurants and hot food takeaways.

TRADING HISTORY / PLANNING The property is free-of-tie and has traded continuously over the years as a wet-sales led venue with supplementary income generated from the letting rooms. There is however scope to develop trade through the introduction of a food menu. Alternatively, the public house has potential for conversion to a licensed restaurant. Similarly, the first and attic floors may be suited for residential conversion into self-contained flats. Interested parties are advised to make their own planning enquiries direct with Dumfries & Galloway Council.
LEGAL COSTS Each party will be responsible for their own legal costs however, in the normal manner, the purchaser will be responsible for LBTT, registration dues and VAT where applicable.
