The subject property is a vacant depot on Mill Street, which benefits from a large site within a predominantly residential area close to the sea. The buildings comprise an older 2 storey (in part) stone shed with external stair access and a single storey concrete block storage building.
Both buildings have pitched roofs with slate covering. Both buildings are in poor condition and the older stone building is dilapidated and unsafe.
There is a yard area in front of the buildings which is surfaced with a mixture of concrete, tarmac and compacted earth. The yard surface is also in poor condition. The yard is not level and slopes downwards in a south to north direction.
There are 2 vehicular access gates from Buchan Street and Mill Street. The property is enclosed by neighbouring buildings and does not have frontage onto either Buchan Street or Mill Street.
