The subjects comprise a ground and first floor mid-terraced property, currently utilised as a hair and beauty salon, that forms part of a larger former bank building, which has been converted to part residential / commercial use with shared access.
The property is of traditional stone construction and surmounted by a pitched and slated roof. There is a single storey extension to the rear of brick construction, surmounted under a flat roof covered in what we assume is a bitumous felt or similar type covering.
Internally the ground floor is laid out to provide an open plan space, currently utilised as a hair dressing salon, with kitchenette and W/C facilities available to the rear. There is further space on the first and mid-floors of the property, which comprises of 3 well-proportioned treatment rooms with further ancillary storage accommodation and an additional treatment room located on the mid-floor landing.
We have also been advised that the property benefits from considerable attic space that covers the entire premises, but access was not granted during inspection.
We note that from reference to the Historic Environmental Scotland Website that the building lies within a conservation area (CA374) and is category C listed.
