The property is located to the south of West Princes Street, at it’s junction with John Street and within Helensburgh town centre.
Helensburgh comprises a town of approximately 16,000 persons being located within Argyll & Bute and at the confluence of the Gare Loch and the River Clyde, approximately 22 miles north west of Glasgow Centre. The closest town is Dumbarton, having a population of approximately 20,000 persons and the two are linked via the A814 and A82/A818 which are the main arterial routes through the town. The town is well served by public transport with both regular bus services and two train stations, Helensburgh Central and Helensburgh Upper.
West Princes Street forms one of the main arterial routes within the town centre and connects with Sinclair Street (A818) a short distance to the east.

West Princes Street also runs parallel with East and West Clyde Street (A814) which form the main road along the seafront and links Helensburgh to Dumbarton.
The town centre contains a mix of retail uses and local services and caters for the resident population and significant tourist visitors to the town and the local area. Occupiers within the town centre include a mix of independent and local traders, along with national retailers such as Tesco, Co-operative food store and Costa Coffee.
