This historic terraced property, originally a public house dating back to 1722, presents a unique opportunity for renovation or repurposing. Having ceased operations in the summer of 2022, the building has been stripped down to its basics, offering an ideal blank canvas for those interested in restoring it as a traditional pub or transforming it into a family residence—pending necessary planning permissions.
Located on the outskirts of Duns Town Centre, this property enjoys a secondary trading position within a predominantly residential area. The town of Duns serves as the County Town of Berwickshire, with a population of approximately 2,760 residents. Despite its small size, Duns offers an expansive rural catchment and is equipped with essential amenities such as primary and secondary schools, various independent shops, public houses, restaurants, veterinary services, and community facilities. Additionally, attractions such as Duns Castle and the Jim Clark Museum enhance the region's appeal.
Externally, the ground floor boasts a yard area that has been cleared and holds significant potential for creating either a private patio garden or an outdoor seating area suitable for a pub setting. A sizable outbuilding extends from this area and provides versatile options for use or further development. The tiered outdoor space includes a predominantly lawned section with high boundary walls that ensure privacy.
The property benefits from mains electric, gas, water, and drainage services. With an internal floor area of 130 square meters and a current Rateable Value set at £3,200 effective from April 1, 2023, this site offers substantial investment potential in a location rich with community spirit and historical charm. Viewing is encouraged to fully appreciate what this property can become.
